I am trying to user MdBootstrap 5's chat feature in my app.
This is what I have tried in the template but the thing is I need to refresh the page for it to work even though I am using SignalR in my backend.
<section style="background-color: #eee;">
<div class="container py-5">
<div class="row d-flex justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-10 col-lg-8 col-xl-6">
<div class="card" id="chat2">
<div class="card-header d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center p-3">
<h5 class="mb-0">Chat</h5>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm" data-mdb-ripple-color="dark">
Let's Chat
App
</button>
</div>
<div class="card-body" data-mdb-perfect-scrollbar="true" style="position: relative; height: 400px">
<div *ngFor="let message of (messageService.messageThread$ | async)">
<ng-container *ngIf="message.senderUsername !== currentUser!.userName">
