📖 Introduction

@arceos/baileys is a reimagined version of the classic WhatsApp Web API library. Unlike other forks, this version is meticulously optimized for Node.js environments, removing heavy image processing dependencies (Jimp) in favor of native system calls (FFmpeg) and lightweight buffers.

It supports the latest Multi-Device architecture, ensuring your bot stays connected longer, responds faster, and consumes less memory.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Basic Connection (QR Code)

* Create a file named index.js and add the following code:

`javascript
import { makeWASocket, DisconnectReason, useMultiFileAuthState } from "@arceos/baileys"
import { Boom } from "@hapi/boom"
import P from "pino"

async function startBot() {
const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState("session_auth")

const sock = makeWASocket({
auth: state,
printQRInTerminal: true,
logger: P({ level: "silent" }),
browser: ["Linux", "Chrome", "20.0.04"],
connectTimeoutMs: 60000,
defaultQueryTimeoutMs: 0,
keepAliveIntervalMs: 10000,
emitOwnEvents: true,
fireInitQueries: true,
generateHighQualityLinkPreview: true,
syncFullHistory: true,
markOnlineOnConnect: true,
})

sock.ev.on("connection.update", (update) => {
const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update
if (connection === "close") {
const shouldReconnect = (lastDisconnect.error)?.output?.statusCode !== DisconnectReason.loggedOut
if (shouldReconnect) {
startBot()
}
} else if (connection === "open") {
console.log("Connected to WhatsApp Successfully")
}
})

sock.ev.on("creds.update", saveCreds)

sock.ev.on("messages.upsert", async ({ messages }) => {
const m = messages[0]
if (!m.message) return
console.log(JSON.stringify(m, undefined, 2))
})
}

startBot()
`

2. Connection via Pairing Code (No QR)

* If you prefer using a Pairing Code instead of scanning a QR code:

`javascript
import { makeWASocket, useMultiFileAuthState, delay } from "@arceos/baileys"
import P from "pino"

async function startPairing() {
const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState("session_pairing")

const sock = makeWASocket({
auth: state,
printQRInTerminal: false,
logger: P({ level: "silent" }),
browser: ["Linux", "Chrome", "20.0.04"]
})

if (!sock.authState.creds.registered) {
const phoneNumber = "6281234567890"
await delay(3000)
const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(phoneNumber)
console.log(Your Pairing Code: ${code})
}

sock.ev.on("creds.update", saveCreds)
}

startPairing()
`
