In your project,

|
|
|
Install package:
|
|
|
|

|
|
npm install @status-im/react
|
|
```
|

|

<Community
|
|
publicKey="0x033c88c950480493e2e759923bd38f9aad88e1b36295757a598679a569e6a96801"

/>

|
```
|
|
|
|
For an example, see [examples/with-vite/src/app.tsx](./examples/with-vite/src/app.tsx).
|
|
|
|
### For User 👤
|
|
|
|
**Simply visit your Community's URL from the browser:**
|
|
|
|
If the Community doesn't require a joining request, that would be it. So look around and get the feel for the space.
|
|
|
|
**Once ready to chat, create a throwaway profile:**
|
|
|
|
Use Throwaway Profile > wait for your request to be approved and the chat input enabled > react to and write messages
|
|
|
|
**Optionally, you could even run the application locally yourself.**
|
|
|
|
Get the source ready:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/status-im/status-web.git
|
|
cd ./status-web
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add your Community's public key to your environment:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
echo 'PUBLIC_KEY="0x033c88c950480493e2e759923bd38f9aad88e1b36295757a598679a569e6a96801"' >> examples/with-vite/.env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And run it:
|

```sh
|
|
npm run dev --workspace=examples/with-vite
|
|
```
