Task: Implement Real-time Flash Message for New Comments
Objective:
You've successfully implemented real-time updates for posts using Livewire. Your task is to extend this functionality to display a flash message in the ShowComments component when a new comment is added.
Requirements:
The ShowComments component should display a flash message when a new comment is added.
The flash message should say, "A new comment was added by [Author's Name]."
Steps:
In your existing ShowComments component, you already have a method called addComment that adds a new comment. Modify this method to dispatch a Livewire event after a comment is successfully created.

public function addComment()
{
Comment::create([
'post_id' => $this->postId,
'author' => $this->author,
'content' => $this->newComment,
]);

// Dispatch the event
$this->dispatch('comment-added', ['author' => $this->author]);
// dd('Event Dispatched');

$this->newComment = '';
$this->author = '';

}
Update the ShowComments component to listen for the comment-added event. When this event is caught, display a flash message.

#[On('comment-added')]
public function showFlashMessage($data)
{
$author = $data['author'];
session()->flash('message', 'A new comment was added by ' . $author);
}

Tips:
Make sure to test thoroughly to ensure that the flash message is displaying as expected.
· Good luck! Feel free to ask for help if you get stuck.
Real-time Data with Polling6:31

Task for Students:
Task: "Using the knowledge you've gained from the lesson on real-time data with polling, implement a feature in the ShowComments component that auto-refreshes the list of comments every 15 seconds. Ensure that the comments are only refreshed when they are visible in the viewport. Test your implementation by adding new comments and observing if they appear automatically without a page refresh."
