Text Chat

What does this demo do?

Use sendAppMessage to send messages
Listen for incoming messages using the call object app-message event
Extend the basic call demo with a chat provider and aside
Demonstrate how to play a sound whenever a message is received

Please note: this demo is not currently mobile optimised

Getting started

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

yarn
yarn workspace @dailyjs/text-chat dev

How does this example work?

In this example we extend the basic call demo 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.

In a real world use case you would likely want to implement serverside logic so that participants joining a call can retrieve previously sent messages. This round trip could be done inside of the Chat context.
