# Fetch many comments

> Fetch a paginated list of comments with filters

## Overview

`useFetchManyComments` returns a function that fetches a paginated list of comments. This is the underlying fetch function used by `useEntityComments` and `useReplies`. Use it directly when you need a custom comment list outside of those hooks.

## Usage Example

```tsx theme={null}
import { useFetchManyComments } from "@replyke/react-js";
import { useState, useEffect } from "react";

function UserComments({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
  const fetchComments = useFetchManyComments();
  const [comments, setComments] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetchComments({ userId, page: 1, limit: 10 }).then((res) =>
      setComments(res.data)
    );
  }, [userId]);

  return (
    <ul>
      {comments.map((c) => <li key={c.id}>{c.content}</li>)}
    </ul>
  );
}
```
