68.Project BlogWorthy - Task 6

In task 5 of our side project, we integrated the User and Organization models into our application. Now, in this task, we will implement the functionality for users to upvote and downvote posts and necessary tests.

Task 6

In the task listing page, modify the post card component to feature an upvote button, a downvote button and a net vote count. The net vote count should have a value of upvotes - downvotes and must dynamically change when a user clicks on the upvote or downvote button. Make sure the upvotes and downvotes values change on the Rails' side as well.

Implement the necessary logic to toggle the is_blog_worthy field in the posts table to true when the net vote count exceeds a defined threshold. If the net vote count falls short of this threshold, please ensure that the is_blog_worthy field is set back to false. To define the constant threshold value, you may use the Rails initializers. If the implementation of this logic ought to be done via some side effects, then you may prefer to opt-in for Active Record callbacks.
When the is_blog_worthy field is assigned a value of true, a tag indicating blog-worthy must be displayed on the front-end side. For example, if the threshold is set to 15 and the net vote becomes 16, then the tag should be shown as in the figure below.

Finally, add the necessary tests for models and controllers. Make sure your application is thoroughly tested. To ensure thorough testing, it is imperative to maintain a test coverage of 100% for all model and controller codes.
