I have a problem in displaying the result of a fetch in my html, any help of your side will be much appreciated.

my html:

    <div class="flex justify-between items-center mb-4">
        <button class="inline-flex items-center border border-gray-700 rounded-full px-3 py-2" onclick="openPdfModal('')">
            <img src="{% static 'img/pdf_icon.png' %}" alt="PDF" class="w-5 h-5 mr-2">
            <span>Publication</span>
        </button>
        <button class="inline-flex items-center border border-gray-700 rounded-full px-3 py-2 ml-2" @click="deleteChatHistory()">

Script:

async fetchChatHistory(publicationId) {
try {
console.log("Fetching chat history for publicationId:", publicationId);

                const response = await fetch(`/chat_history/?publication_id=${publicationId}`, {
                    method: 'GET',
                    headers: {

                    credentials: 'include', // Ensure cookies are sent with the request
                });

                if (!response.ok) {
                    console.error('Failed to fetch chat history:', response.statusText);
                    return;
                }

                const history = await response.json();
                console.log("Raw history data fetched:", history);

                const newMessages = [];

                history.forEach(entry => {
                    // Add user's question to history
                    newMessages.push({
                        text: entry.question,
                        isUser: true,
                        timeDelta: this.formatTimeDelta(entry.created_at),
                        createdAt: new Date(entry.created_at) // Added for sorting
                    });

                    // Add system's response to history
                    newMessages.push({
                        text: entry.answer,
                        isUser: false,
                        timeDelta: this.formatTimeDelta(entry.created_at),

You say you are having a problem, but you never say what the problem itself is.

So it would be helpful to explain what the issue is.

Indeed, the problem was that the div where not populated with the content fetch, i did another method i will close.
