Number of comments in a post (feature request)

[ioannisioannou16]

It seems a little bit awkward that posts do not contain the number of comments. In order to show the number of comments (not the actual comments) for a post, you need to fetch all comments for the post and count them. A user may never click on a post to see the comments, but we still need to fetch them.

Yes. This is a must have feature that needs to be implemented.

+1000. If you're listing 10 posts on the posts list page and they have an average of 30 comments, that's 300 pieces of data being pulled over the wire that's pointless. Ideally, the response should be { items: [ ....., commentCount: 33 } at a minimum and likewise the same for the fetch post details endpoint.
