[Backend] Limiting the Number of upvotes/downvotes a particular user can do

[Kajol-Kumari]

Describe the bug As the Q&A section is open, users can do the upvote and downvotes any umber of times.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Q&A section of the website - https://hitk-tech-community.netlify.app/q&a
2. Click on the upvote/downvote button

Expected behavior I am all hears for the perfect solution but i am thinking that there should be a limit either based on the ip of the user of session, user shouldn't be allowed to do more than one upvote/downvote from a single ip/session.

@Kajol-Kumari can you please assign this to me.

This issue is due to maybe not storing data and just creating a toggle function alone isn't a solution. I have read code and familier with MERN Stack, I would like to work on this issue. for eg:

import { Provider, LikeButton } from "@lyket/react";

@PranjaliBhardwaj that's not the case here, the upvotes and downvotes are getting stored in db, the only thing here is off is user doesn't need to be logged for upvoting/downvoting

@Hemu21 assigning this issue to you bases on FCFS

@Kajol-Kumari if we want to allow upvote without login then have to store user IP in db also.

hello @Kajol-Kumari, I am interested in solving this issue. I have developed more then 3 MERN stack applications, and many others with various technology stacks. Currently I am in the final year of Btech. and that's why I have strong grip on MERN stack and network concepts, that makes me able to make this functionality completely working. Could you please assign me this issue under Gssoc'24.
