![Let's Build An Instagram Clone With The PETAL(Phoenix, Elixir, TailwindCSS, AlpineJS, LiveView) Stack [PART 5]](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/id63zxemb2i0lnzaddvl.jpg)
In part 4 we added the profile posts section and post page, in this part, we will work on the show-post page. You can catch up with the Instagram Clone GitHub Repo.
Let’s start by adding our base template for our show page, open lib/instagram_clone_web/live/post_live/show.html.leex and add the following:
<section class="flex">
<!-- Post Image section -->
<%= img_tag @post.photo_url,
class: "w-3/5 object-contain h-full" %>
<!-- End Post Image section -->
<div class="w-2/5 border-2 h-full">
<div class="flex p-4 items-center border-b-2">
<!-- Post header section -->
<%= live_redirect to: Routes.user_profile_path(@socket, :index, @post.user.username) do %>
<%= img_tag @post.user.avatar_url, class: "w-8 h-8 rounded-full object-cover object-center" %>
<% end %>
<div class="ml-3">
<%= live_redirect @post.user.username,
to: Routes.user_profile_path(@socket, :index, @post.user.username),
class: "truncate font-bold text-sm text-gray-500 hover:underline" %>
</div>
<!-- End post header section -->

<div class="no-scrollbar h-96 overflow-y-scroll p-4 flex flex-col">

<% end %>
<div class="px-4 w-11/12">

Likes
Let’s create the likes context, in our terminal:
$ mix phx.gen.context Likes Like likes user_id:references:users liked_id:integer
Inside the migration that was generated:
defmodule InstagramClone.Repo.Migrations.CreateLikes do
use Ecto.Migration
def change do
create table(:likes) do
add :liked_id, :integer
add :user_id, references(:users, on_delete: :nothing)
timestamps()
end
create index(:likes, [:user_id, :liked_id])
end
end
Back in our terminal: $ mix ecto.migrate
Inside lib/instagram_clone/likes/like.ex:
defmodule InstagramClone.Likes.Like do
use Ecto.Schema
schema "posts_likes" do
field :liked_id, :integer
belongs_to :user, InstagramClone.Accounts.User
timestamps()
end
end
Add the likes relationship to the post schema, open lib/instagram_clone/posts/post.ex:
...
has_many :likes, InstagramClone.Likes.Like, foreign_key: :liked_id
...
Add the likes relationship to the user schema, open lib/instagram_clone/accounts/user.ex:
...
has_many :likes, InstagramClone.Likes.Like
...
Inside lib/instagram_clone/likes.ex:
defmodule InstagramClone.Likes do

# Returns nil if not found
defp get_like(user_id, liked) do
Enum.find(liked.likes, fn l ->
l.user_id == user_id

end
end
Let’s create a component to handle likes, under lib/instagram_clone_web/live/post_live add a file named like_component.ex and add the following:

Inside lib/instagram_clone_web/live/post_live/show.ex we need to handle the message sent from the component to update the likes count:

...
def get_post!(id) do
