Like Button Component

MediumPython

Problem

Create a Like button similar to the picture they have provided.

Implement the button's state transitions for a sequence of user actions. Support click, like, and unlike actions, where repeated like or unlike actions are idempotent.

Use process_like_actions(initial_liked, initial_count, actions) and return an object containing the final liked boolean and count integer.

Constraints: 0 <= len(actions) <= 1000, each action is click, like, or unlike, and the initial count is consistent with the initial liked state.

Constraints

  • 0 <= len(actions) <= 1000
  • Each action is one of: "click", "like", "unlike"
  • initial_liked is a boolean
  • initial_count is a non-negative integer
  • If initial_liked is false, initial_count may be zero; if it is true, initial_count is at least one
