Search a Post

The searchPosts() function is used to search posts based on various parameters such as page, page size, search term, and search type. It returns a SearchPostResponse object containing the results of the search.

Steps to Search Posts

1. Create an instance of SearchPostRequest with the required parameters: search for the search term, page for pagination, pageSize for the number of results per page, and searchType for the type of search.
2. Call the searchPosts() function using the instance of the SearchPostRequest class.
3. Use the SearchPostResponse as per your requirement.

// Create an instance of SearchPostRequest
final SearchPostRequest request = (SearchPostRequestBuilder()
            ..page(1)
            ..pageSize(10)
            ..search('YOUR_SEARCH_TERM')
            ..searchType('SEARCH_TYPE'))
          .build();

// Get the response from calling the function
final SearchPostResponse searchPostResponse = await lmFeedClient.searchPosts(request);

// Process the response, as per requirement
if (searchPostResponse.success) {
  // your function to handle successful search
  handleSearchSuccess(searchPostResponse.posts);
} else {
  // your function to handle error message
  handleSearchError(searchPostResponse.errorMessage);
}
