i'm learning solana development from Buildspace and this is the tutorial source code for the next.js app https://github.com/buildspace/solana-send-sol-frontend.git
the component to display the solana balance in the connected wallet is here: https://github.com/buildspace/solana-send-sol-frontend/blob/main/components/BalanceDisplay.tsx
after a transaction to send solana is confirmed, the balance shown on the frontend does not update.
how can i change the code so that the balance is updated?
figured out a solution with onAccountChange

here's my solution https://github.com/Unboxed-Software/solana-send-sol-frontend/pull/4/files
You have 2 options to get the new balance:
either you query again the blockchain with getParsedAccountInfo(wallet_address) and you will get the new SOL balance (check https://solana-labs.github.io/solana-web3.js/classes/Connection.html#getParsedAccountInfo)
either you fetch the transaction with getParsedTransaction(signature) and you will get the new SOL balance in postBalances (check https://solana-labs.github.io/solana-web3.js/classes/Connection.html#getParsedTransaction)
