##

- Baileys does not require Selenium or any other browser to be interface with WhatsApp Web, it does so directly using a WebSocket.
- Not running Selenium or Chromimum saves you like half a gig of ram :/
- Baileys supports interacting with the multi-device & web versions of WhatsApp.
- Thank you to @pokearaujo for writing his observations on the workings of WhatsApp Multi-Device. Also, thank you to @Sigalor for writing his observations on the workings of WhatsApp Web and thanks to @Rhymen for the __go__ implementation.

Connecting Account

WhatsApp provides a multi-device API that allows Baileys to be authenticated as a second WhatsApp client by scanning a QR code or Pairing Code with WhatsApp on your phone.

> [!NOTE]
> Here is a simple example of event handling

> [!TIP]
> You can see all supported socket configs here (Recommended)

$3

> [!TIP]
> You can customize browser name if you connect with QR-CODE, with Browser constant, we have some browsers config, see here

`ts
import makeWASocket from 'cloudku-baileys'

const conn = makeWASocket({
// can provide additional config here
browser: Browsers.ubuntu('My App'),
printQRInTerminal: true
})
`

If the connection is successful, you will see a QR code printed on your terminal screen, scan it with WhatsApp on your phone and you'll be logged in!

$3


> [!IMPORTANT]
> Pairing Code isn't Mobile API, it's a method to connect Whatsapp Web without QR-CODE, you can connect only with one device, see here

The phone number can't have + or () or -, only numbers, you must provide country code

`ts
import makeWASocket from 'cloudku-baileys'

const conn = makeWASocket({
// can provide additional config here
printQRInTerminal: false //need to be false
})

if (!conn.authState.creds.registered) {
const number = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
const code = await conn.requestPairingCode(number) // or await conn.requestPairingCode(number, 'CODEOTPS') custom your pairing code
console.log(code)
}
`

$3

1. Set syncFullHistory as true
2. Baileys, by default, use chrome browser config
- If you'd like to emulate a desktop connection (and receive more message history), this browser setting to your Socket config:

`ts
const conn = makeWASocket({
...otherOpts,
// can use Windows, Ubuntu here too
browser: Browsers.macOS('Desktop'),
syncFullHistory: true
})
`

Important Notes About Socket Config

$3


- If you use baileys for groups, we recommend you to set cachedGroupMetadata in socket config, you need to implement a cache like this:

`ts
const groupCache = new NodeCache({stdTTL: 5 * 60, useClones: false})

const conn = makeWASocket({
cachedGroupMetadata: async (jid) => groupCache.get(jid)
})

conn.ev.on('groups.update', async ([event]) => {
const metadata = await conn.groupMetadata(event.id)
groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
})

conn.ev.on('group-participants.update', async (event) => {
const metadata = await conn.groupMetadata(event.id)
groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
})
`

$3


- If you want to improve sending message, retrying when error occurs and decrypt poll votes, you need to have a store and set getMessage config in socket like this:
`ts
const conn = makeWASocket({
getMessage: async (key) => await getMessageFromStore(key)
})
`

$3

- If you want to receive notifications in whatsapp app, set markOnlineOnConnect to false
`ts
const conn = makeWASocket({
markOnlineOnConnect: false
})
`

Saving & Restoring Sessions

You obviously don't want to keep scanning the QR code every time you want to connect.

So, you can load the credentials to log back in:
`ts
import makeWASocket, { useMultiFileAuthState } from 'cloudku-baileys'

const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')

// will use the given state to connect
// so if valid credentials are available -- it'll connect without QR
const conn = makeWASocket({ auth: state })

// this will be called as soon as the credentials are updated
conn.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> useMultiFileAuthState is a utility function to help save the auth state in a single folder, this function serves as a good guide to help write auth & key states for SQL/no-SQL databases, which I would recommend in any production grade system.

> [!NOTE]
> When a message is received/sent, due to signal sessions needing updating, the auth keys (authState.keys) will update. Whenever that happens, you must save the updated keys (authState.keys.set() is called). Not doing so will prevent your messages from reaching the recipient & cause other unexpected consequences. The useMultiFileAuthState function automatically takes care of that, but for any other serious implementation -- you will need to be very careful with the key state management.

Handling Events

- Baileys uses the EventEmitter syntax for events.
They're all nicely typed up, so you shouldn't have any issues with an Intellisense editor like VS Code.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The events are these, it's important you see all events

You can listen to these events like this:
`ts
const conn = makeWASocket()
conn.ev.on('messages.upsert', ({ messages }) => {
console.log('got messages', messages)
})
`

$3

> [!NOTE]
> This example includes basic auth storage too

`ts
import makeWASocket, { DisconnectReason, useMultiFileAuthState } from 'cloudku-baileys'
import { Boom } from '@hapi/boom'

async function connectToWhatsApp () {
const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('./auth_info_baileys')
const conn = makeWASocket({
// can provide additional config here
auth: state,
printQRInTerminal: true
})
conn.ev.on('connection.update', (update) => {
const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update
if(connection === 'close') {
const shouldReconnect = (lastDisconnect.error as Boom)?.output?.statusCode !== DisconnectReason.loggedOut
console.log('connection closed due to ', lastDisconnect.error, ', reconnecting ', shouldReconnect)
// reconnect if not logged out
if(shouldReconnect) {
connectToWhatsApp()
}
} else if(connection === 'open') {
console.log('opened connection')
}
})
conn.ev.on('messages.upsert', event => {
for (const m of event.messages) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(m, undefined, 2))

console.log('replying to', m.key.remoteJid)
await conn.sendMessage(m.key.remoteJid!, { text: 'Hello Word' })
}
})

// to storage creds (session info) when it updates
conn.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
}
// run in main file
connectToWhatsApp()
`

$3


`ts
import makeWASocket, { useSingleFileAuthState, useMongoFileAuthState } from 'cloudku-baileys'

// Single Auth
const { state, saveState } = await useSingleFileAuthState('./auth_info_baileys.json')
const conn = makeWASocket({
auth: state,
printQRInTerminal: true
})

conn.ev.on('creds.update', saveState)

// Mongo Auth
import { MongoClient } from "mongodb"

const connectAuth = async() => {
global.client = new MongoClient('mongoURL')
global.client.connect(err => {
if (err) {
console.warn("Warning: MongoDB link is invalid or cannot be connected.")
} else {
console.log('Successfully Connected To MongoDB Server')
}
})
}
await client.connect()
const collection = client.db("cloudku-baileys").collection("sessions")
return collection
}

const Authentication = await connectAuth()
const { state, saveCreds } = await useMongoFileAuthState(Authentication)
const conn = makeWASocket({
auth: state,
printQRInTerminal: true
})

conn.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> In messages.upsert it's recommended to use a loop like for (const message of event.messages) to handle all messages in array

$3

- By default poll votes are encrypted and handled in messages.update
`ts
import pino from "pino"
import { makeInMemoryStore, getAggregateVotesInPollMessage } from 'cloudku-baileys'

const logger = pino({ timestamp: () => ,"time":"${new Date().toJSON()}" }).child({ class: "cloudku-baileys" })
logger.level = "fatal"
const store = makeInMemoryStore({ logger })

async function getMessage(key){
if (store) {
const msg = await store.loadMessage(key.remoteJid, key.id)
return msg?.message
}
return {
conversation: "Itconni Kawaiii"
}
}

conn.ev.on("messages.update", async (chatUpdate) => {
for(const { key, update } of chatUpdate) {
if(update.pollUpdates && key.fromMe) {
const pollCreation = await getMessage(key)
if(pollCreation) {
const pollUpdate = await getAggregateVotesInPollMessage({
message: pollCreation,
pollUpdates: update.pollUpdates,
})
const toCmd = pollUpdate.filter(v => v.voters.length !== 0)[0]?.name
if (toCmd == undefined) return
console.log(toCmd)
}
}
}
})
`

$3

1. When you connect first time, connection.update will be fired requesting you to restart sock
2. Then, history messages will be received in messaging.history-set

Implementing a Data Store

- Baileys does not come with a defacto storage for chats, contacts, or messages. However, a simple in-memory implementation has been provided. The store listens for chat updates, new messages, message updates, etc., to always have an up-to-date version of the data.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> I highly recommend building your own data store, as storing someone's entire chat history in memory is a terrible waste of RAM.

It can be used as follows:

`ts
import makeWASocket, { makeInMemoryStore } from 'cloudku-baileys'
// the store maintains the data of the WA connection in memory
// can be written out to a file & read from it
const store = makeInMemoryStore({ })
// can be read from a file
store.readFromFile('./baileys_store.json')
// saves the state to a file every 10s
setInterval(() => {
store.writeToFile('./baileys_store.json')
}, 10_000)

const conn = makeWASocket({ })
// will listen from this socket
// the store can listen from a new socket once the current socket outlives its lifetime
store.bind(conn.ev)

conn.ev.on('chats.upsert', () => {
// can use 'store.chats' however you want, even after the socket dies out
// 'chats' => a KeyedDB instance
console.log('got chats', store.chats.all())
})

conn.ev.on('contacts.upsert', () => {
console.log('got contacts', Object.values(store.contacts))
})

`

The store also provides some simple functions such as loadMessages that utilize the store to speed up data retrieval.

Whatsapp IDs Explain

- id is the WhatsApp ID, called jid too, of the person or group you're sending the message to.
- It must be in the format `[country code][phone number]@s.whatsapp.net`
- Example for people: `+19999999999@s.whatsapp.net`.
- For groups, it must be in the format ` 123456789-123345@g.us `.
- For broadcast lists, it's [timestamp of creation]@broadcast.
- For stories, the ID is status@broadcast.

Utility Functions

- getContentType, returns the content type for any message
- getDevice, returns the device from message
- makeCacheableSignalKeyStore, make auth store more fast
- downloadContentFromMessage, download content from any message

Sending Messages

- Send all types of messages with a single function
- Here you can see all message contents supported, like text message
- Here you can see all options supported, like quote message

`ts
const jid: string
const content: AnyMessageContent
const options: MiscMessageGenerationOptions

conn.sendMessage(jid, content, options)
`

$3

#### Text Message
`ts
await conn.sendMessage(jid, { text: 'hello word' })

jid,
{
text: '@12345678901',
mentions: ['12345678901@s.whatsapp.net']
}
)
`

#### Forward Messages
- You need to have message object, can be retrieved from store or use a message object

await conn.sendMessage(
id,
{
contacts: {
displayName: 'Itconnchann',
contacts: [{ vcard }]
}
}
)
`

#### Reaction Message
- You need to pass the key of message, you can retrieve from store or use a key object

jid,
{
react: {
text: '💖', // use an empty string to remove the reaction
key: message.key
}
}
)
`

$3

1. By default, wa does not have link generation when sent from the web
2. Baileys has a function to generate the content for these link previews
3. To enable this function's usage, add link-preview-js as a dependency to your project with yarn add link-preview-js
4. Send a link:
`ts
await conn.sendMessage(
jid,
{
text: 'Hi, this was sent using https://github.com/whiskeysockets/baileys'
}
)
`

$3

Sending media (video, stickers, images) is easier & more efficient than ever.

> [!NOTE]
> In media messages, you can pass { stream: Stream } or { url: Url } or Buffer directly, you can see more here

- When specifying a media url, Baileys never loads the entire buffer into memory it even encrypts the media as a readable stream.

> [!TIP]
> It's recommended to use Stream or Url to save memory

#### Gif Message
- Whatsapp doesn't support .gif files, that's why we send gifs as common .mp4 video with gifPlayback flag
`ts
await conn.sendMessage(
jid,
{
video: fs.readFileSync('Media/ma_gif.mp4'),
caption: 'hello word',
gifPlayback: true
}
)
`

#### Video Message
`ts
await conn.sendMessage(
id,
{
video: {
url: './Media/ma_gif.mp4'
},
caption: 'hello word',
}
)
`

#### Video Ptv Message
`ts
await conn.sendMessage(
id,
{
video: {
url: './Media/ma_gif.mp4'
},
ptv: true
}
)
`

#### Audio Message
- To audio message work in all devices you need to convert with some tool like ffmpeg with this flags:
`bash
codec: libopus //ogg file
ac: 1 //one channel
avoid_negative_ts
make_zero
`
- Example:
`bash
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -ac 1 output.ogg
`
`ts
await conn.sendMessage(
jid,
{
audio: {
url: './Media/audio.mp3'
},
mimetype: 'audio/mp4'
}
)
`

#### Image Message
`ts
await conn.sendMessage(
id,
{
image: {
url: './Media/ma_img.png'
},
caption: 'hello word'
}
)
`

#### View Once Message

- You can send all messages above as viewOnce, you only need to pass viewOnce: true in content object

`ts
await conn.sendMessage(
id,
{
image: {
url: './Media/ma_img.png'
},
viewOnce: true, //works with video, audio too
caption: 'hello word'
}
)
`

Modify Messages

$3

`ts
const msg = await conn.sendMessage(jid, { text: 'hello word' })
await conn.sendMessage(jid, { delete: msg.key })
`

Note: deleting for oneself is supported via chatModify, see in this section

$3

- You can pass all editable contents here
`ts
await conn.sendMessage(jid, {
text: 'updated text goes here',
edit: response.key,
})
`

Manipulating Media Messages

$3


- For media messages, the thumbnail can be generated automatically for images & stickers provided you add jimp or sharp as a dependency in your project using yarn add jimp or yarn add sharp.
- Thumbnails for videos can also be generated automatically, though, you need to have ffmpeg installed on your system.

$3

If you want to save the media you received
`ts
import { createWriteStream } from 'fs'
import { downloadMediaMessage, getContentType } from 'cloudku-baileys'

conn.ev.on('messages.upsert', async ({ [m] }) => {
if (!m.message) return // if there is no text or media message
const messageType = getContentType(m) // get what type of message it is (text, image, video...)

// if the message is an image
if (messageType === 'imageMessage') {
// download the message
const stream = await downloadMediaMessage(
m,
'stream', // can be 'buffer' too
{ },
{
logger,
// pass this so that baileys can request a reupload of media
// that has been deleted
reuploadRequest: conn.updateMediaMessage
}
)
// save to file
const writeStream = createWriteStream('./my-download.jpeg')
stream.pipe(writeStream)
}
}
`

$3

- WhatsApp automatically removes old media from their servers. For the device to access said media -- a re-upload is required by another device that has it. This can be accomplished using:
`ts
await conn.updateMediaMessage(msg)
`

Reject Call

- You can obtain callId and callFrom from call event

`ts
await conn.rejectCall(callId, callFrom)
`

Send States in Chat

$3

- A set of message keys must be explicitly marked read now.
- You cannot mark an entire 'chat' read as it were with Baileys Web.
This means you have to keep track of unread messages.

`ts
const key: WAMessageKey
// can pass multiple keys to read multiple messages as well
await conn.readMessages([key])
`

The message ID is the unique identifier of the message that you are marking as read.
On a WAMessage, the messageID can be accessed using `messageID = message.key.id`.

$3

- ` presence ` can be one of these
- The presence expires after about 10 seconds.
- This lets the person/group with jid know whether you're online, offline, typing etc.

`ts
await conn.sendPresenceUpdate('available', jid)
`

> [!NOTE]
> If a desktop client is active, WA doesn't send push notifications to the device. If you would like to receive said notifications -- mark your Baileys client offline using conn.sendPresenceUpdate('unavailable')

Modifying Chats

WA uses an encrypted form of communication to send chat/app updates. This has been implemented mostly and you can send the following updates:

> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you mess up one of your updates, WA can log you out of all your devices and you'll have to log in again.
