### Getting started
|
|
|
|

|
|
# set both DAILY_API_KEY and DAILY_DOMAIN
|
|
mv env.example .env.local

## How does this example work?
|
|
|
|
In this example we extend the [basic call demo](../basic-call) with the ability to send chat messages.
|
|
|
|
We pass a custom tray object, a custom app object (wrapping the original in a new `ChatProvider`) as well as add our `ChatAside` panel. We also symlink both the `public` and `pages/api` folders from the basic call.
|
|
|
|
We use the `useSharedState` hook to retrieve the previously sent messages for the newly joined participants.
