Hi! Im Jose Luis,

i need to create a button who let me add +1 to a field in the database:  
Example (as a like button):

In data base i have a column called “Likes” with 6 rows, each row is a style of meat.  
what i want to create is a sort of like button. If a member like it, he has to click to the love button, and this one will send a +1 command to the field of this meat.  
If before the like value was 0, now is 1, and for each click add +1, so later the value will change to 2, 3 ,4 ,5 etc… the number of times the button has been clicked.

i tried to use many codes of this forum, but none has worked as I wanted.

```javascript
import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

$w.onReady(function () {
    let clickCounter = 0

    $w('#button1').onClick(()=>{
       clickCounter=clickCounter++
       console.log(clickCounter)
    })
});

```

You could create something like an click-timer.

Than a click would be just possible after a specific time.  
Take a look here to gather some ideas, how to code it…
