I’m adding and removing reactions to comments. But the subscription to the comments of a Post is not reacting after adding or removing an action.

I’m using this method:

```auto
CommentRepository.getComments(
        { referenceType: 'post', referenceId, parentId, limit: 10, sortBy: 'firstCreated' },
        setComments,
);

```

Is there a better way to subscribe to the reactions of a specific comment?

Hello, could you pls check the sample code below, this should address the reaction problem:

```auto
import { CommentRepository, CommunityRepository, SubscriptionLevels, UserRepository, getCommunityTopic, getUserTopic, subscribeTopic } from '@amityco/ts-sdk';

const [communityObject, setCommunityObject] = useState<Amity.Community>()
  const [userObject, setUserObject] = useState<Amity.User>()
  const [commentCollection, setCommentCollection] =useState<Amity.LiveCollection<Amity.Comment<any>>>();

 const subscribeCommentTopic = (targetType: string) => {
    if (isSubscribed) return;
  
    if (targetType === 'user' && userObject) {
      const user = userObject as Amity.User; // use getUser to get user by targetId
      disposers.push(
        subscribeTopic(getUserTopic(user, SubscriptionLevels.COMMENT), () => {
          // use callback to handle errors with event subscription
        }),
      );
      isSubscribed = true;
      return;
    }
  
    if (targetType === 'community' && communityObject) {
      console.log('communityObject:', communityObject)
      const community = communityObject as Amity.Community; // use getCommunity to get community by targetId
      disposers.push(
        subscribeTopic(getCommunityTopic(community, SubscriptionLevels.COMMENT), () => {
          // use callback to handle errors with event subscription
        }),
      );
      isSubscribed = true;
    }
  };

  function getCommentsByPostId(postId: string) {
    const unsubscribe = CommentRepository.getComments(
      {
        dataTypes: { matchType: 'any', values: ['text', 'image'] },
        referenceId: postId,
        referenceType: 'post',
      },
      (data: Amity.LiveCollection<Amity.Comment<any>>) => {
        if (data.error) throw data.error;
        if (!data.loading) {
          setCommentCollection(data);
        }
      }
    );

  }
  useEffect(() => {
    if(communityObject || userObject){
    console.log('postDetail.targetType:', postDetail.targetType)
      subscribeCommentTopic(postDetail.targetType as string);
    }
 
  }, [communityObject,userObject])
  
  useEffect(() => {
// targetType and targetId will be inside post object that you want to subscribe
    if(targetType === 'community'){
      CommunityRepository.getCommunity(postDetail.targetId, ({data: community})=>{
        setCommunityObject(community)
      });
    }else if(targetType === 'user'){
      UserRepository.getUser(postDetail.targetId, ({data: user})=>{
        setUserObject(user)
      });
    }
    getCommentsByPostId(postDetail.postId);
  }, [targetId, targetType]);

```
