In modern applications, establishing relationships between users is a cornerstone of personalized and dynamic content. These relationships enable users to curate their experiences, foster community interaction, and build meaningful connections. Replyke provides two types of user relationships to suit different application needs:

Follow Relationships

Unidirectional relationships where one user follows another (similar to Twitter/Instagram).Ideal for:
  • Social media feeds and content curation
  • Creator/audience relationships
  • Public content discovery
  • One-way content subscriptions

Connection Relationships

Bidirectional relationships that require mutual acceptance (similar to LinkedIn/Facebook).Ideal for:
  • Professional networking
  • Mutual friendship systems
  • Private or restricted content sharing
  • Collaborative features requiring reciprocal relationships
Replyke simplifies the implementation of both relationship types with dedicated manager hooks:
  • useFollowManager: Manages follow/unfollow relationships
  • useConnectionManager: Manages connection requests, acceptance, and disconnection
Unlike other functionalities, relationships in Replyke do not require any secondary context provider. You can simply use the relationship hooks directly in any of your components.
