Create post comment

Any user associated with a context with AUTHENTICATED scope can add a comment to the own post or to a post created by any user from the network by executing of the createPostComment mutation. The current API user will be set as an author. Mutation has a single required incoming argument - data that represents PostCommentCreationInput object:

Parameter	Type	Description
`text`	`String`	Required. The comment body text. Available HTML tags are: `<a>`, `<p>`, `<br>`. Any other tag will be trimmed.
`parentPostId`	`ID`	Required. ID of the post that should be commented. Warning: once the comment was created, this property cannot be updated.
`imagesBase64`	[`UploadedFileInput`]	The list of comment images, each one should be formatted as base64 string. Up to 10 images can be shared, max file size - 20Mb. Allowed extensions: png, jpg, jpeg, gif. Leave empty to not attach any images to the post. Warning: once the comment was created, this property cannot be updated.
`filesBase64`	[`UploadedFileInput`]	The list of post comment, each one should be formatted as base64 string. Up to 10 files can be shared, max file size - 20Mb. Allowed extensions: txt, pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, svg. Leave empty to not attach any files to the post. Warning: once the comment was created, this property cannot be updated.

Extra content (like a training, a certificate or a badge) cannot be shared in a comment. Also, you cannot add a comment to another comment (only posts can be commented).
