Comment like/dislike API enhancement

[jdbit]

Hi,
I'm trying to implement vanilla JS ajax comments (without heavy jQuery and ReactJS dependencies) and have troubles with django_comments_xtd.api.serializers.FlagSerializer as it returns only a comment ID and flag, so I can't update likes and dislikes count based on this response. Even if I increment likes count based on a non-empty response, I can't be sure if dislikes should be decremented or not (for example, if the user disliked the comment earlier). Any chances likes and dislikes count will be added to this serializer in the future? Or maybe there is a workaround?
Thank you!

If you don't need the ReactJS plugin, I suggest you to look at the rel-3.0.0 branch. It doesn't use any frontend framework. Also the model CommentFlag is replaced with a CommentReaction model that allows for better querying user reactions. There is already a working JavaScript module static/django_comments_xtd/js/reactions.js. You can see it action with the new demo project provided in the branch. I recently answered here on how to setup the demo project.

I still need to add vanilla JS to post comments.
As for the rest, the rel-3.0.0 is in better shape than master.
Take a look and let me know if you have any question.

This is how the new demo project looks like.
By default reactions are only "Like" and "Dislike". But the demo project extends them to resemble the reactions allowed here, in GitHub comments.
