Last week saw the addition of posting content to Steem. What a great feature to have. But, you might also want to edit your post, as I often do. Editing posts is now working!

I had not returned to the Posting functionality to add the ability to Edit posts, and instead did some necessary fixing of the UI/UX for mobile users, as well as add infinite scrolling to get more kurated post data on the Home page.

In addition to having the editing posts working, I also adding infinite scrolling to the Kurated page. Some fixes that crept up were also dealt with.

Editing Posts

To Edit a post, you just need to click on the pencil/compose icon at the bottom of a page.

After clicking the Edit icon, you will be redirected to the Write component for the post in question.

Underneath you will see the preview, just like you would be reading the post already posted. As you make changes, you will see them appear.

For example, I will simply add an exclamation point for purposes of demonstration.

Here there is no exclamation point.

Then I add it and hit Update.

After a few seconds of waiting for the post to be sent to Steem, the page will show with the updates visible.

It all starts with showing the Edit button, but only if the user logged is the author of the post.

Once the Edit icon is clicked, the Redux store received the call and parses the existing json_metadata into an array, and sets up the draft copy of the post for display. The flag isUpdating is set to true, which lets the other components know an edit is in process.

Back int he post page you're looking at, the isupdating flag lets the page know an update/edit is requested, and then redirects the user to the Write component via the write route.

Once in the Write page, the post data is populated into the form fields and text area, and the Submit button is changed to Update.

Once Update is clicked, Redux comes back into play by processing the form data, just as is done for a regular first-time post, except it posts after the commentOp is set the post is sent to Steem right away, without commentOptions being set.

Infinite scroll to Kurated page

I also added the infinite scroll feature to the Kurated page, just like the Home page. Now when you scroll down, you will keep getting posts loaded for your viewing pleasure.
