Do discourse keep count of who has liked which post ?  
I’m working on a method, which changes the color of the like icon, when a user have liked the post.  
I have made it so, that if a user likes a post, the “like-icon” changes from gray to red for all users.  
I only want it to change to red, if the user have liked that post.  
Is there some kind of variable or something I can use from the discourse platform?
