Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

easy-baileys

Installation 📦

npm install easy-baileys

Usage 🛠️

1. Importing the Module

const { WhatsAppClient } = require('easy-baileys');

2. Creating a Client Instance with MongoDB Authentication (+ Multiple Session ✅)

const { WhatsAppClient } = require('easy-baileys');

const customOptions = {
    browser: ["Ubuntu", "Chrome", "20.0.04"],
    printQRInTerminal: true, // Set to true for QR code in terminal
    mobile: false,
};

async function main() {
    try {
        // Initialize WhatsAppClient with MongoDB authentication
        const clientMongo = await WhatsAppClient.create("mongo", 'YOUR MONGO DB URI', customOptions);
        const sockMongo = await clientMongo.getSocket();

        // Example event listener for incoming messages
        sockMongo.ev.on("messages.upsert", async ({ messages }) => {
            for (const m of messages) {
                console.log(m)
                if (m.message?.conversation.toLowerCase() === 'hi') {
                    await sockMongo.reply(m, 'Hello! 👋');
                    sockMongo.sendImage()
                }
            }
        });

    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error initializing WhatsApp client with MongoDB authentication:', error.message);
    }
}

main()

3. Creating a Client Instance with MySQL Authentication (+ Multiple Session ✅)

const { WhatsAppClient } = require('easy-baileys');

// Example MySQL configuration
const mysqlConfig = {
    session: 'session1', // Required
    host: 'localhost', // Required
    port: 3306, // Optional
    user: 'your_mysql_user', // Optional
    password: 'your_mysql_password', // Optional
    database: 'your_database_name', // Optional
    tableName: 'auth' // Optional
};

const customOptions = {
  browser: ["Ubuntu", "Chrome", "20.0.04"],
  printQRInTerminal: false, // Set to true for QR code in terminal
  mobile: false,
};

(async () => {
  try {
    // Initialize WhatsAppClient with MySQL authentication
    const client = await WhatsAppClient.create("mysql", mysqlConfig, customOptions);
    const sockMySQL = await client.getSocket();

    // Example event listener for incoming messages
    sockMySQL.ev.on("messages.upsert", async ({ messages }) => {
      for (const m of messages) {
        if (m.message?.conversation.toLowerCase() === 'hi') {
          await sockMySQL.reply(m, 'Hello! 👋');
        }
      }
    });

  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error initializing WhatsApp client with MySQL authentication:', error.message);
  }
})();

4. Creating a Client Instance with MultiFile Authentication

const { WhatsAppClient } = require('easy-baileys');

const customOptions = {
  browser: ["Ubuntu", "Chrome", "20.0.04"],
  printQRInTerminal: false, // Set to true for QR code in terminal
  mobile: false,
};

(async () => {
  try {
    // Initialize WhatsAppClient with MultiFile authentication
    const clientMulti = await WhatsAppClient.create("multi", './authFiles', customOptions);
    const sockMulti = await clientMulti.getSocket();

    // Example event listener for incoming messages
    sockMulti.ev.on("messages.upsert", async ({ messages }) => {
      for (const m of messages) {
        if (m.message?.conversation.toLowerCase() === 'hi') {
          await sockMulti.reply(m, 'Hello! 👋');
        }
      }
    });

  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error initializing WhatsApp client with MultiFile authentication:', error.message);
  }
})();

Explanation

  • MongoDB Authentication Example: Initializes the WhatsAppClient instance using MongoDB credentials and sets up event listeners to respond to messages.
  • MultiFile Authentication Example: Initializes the WhatsAppClient instance using authentication files stored locally and handles incoming messages similarly.

5. Obtain a pairing code (Optional)

const sock = client.getSocket();
const code = await client.getPairingCode(123456789); // Your WhatsApp number (Without +)
console.log(code); 

Example: Pairing Code with Validated Phone Number 📞

const { WhatsAppClient } = require('easy-baileys');

(async () => {
  try {
    const customOptions = {
        browser: ["Ubuntu", "Chrome", "20.0.04"],
        printQRInTerminal: false, // Set to true for QR code in terminal
        mobile: false,
    };

    const client = await WhatsAppClient.createMultiAuth('./auth', customOptions);
    const sock = await client.getSocket();
    const code = await client.getPairingCode(123456789); // Your WhatsApp number (Without +)
    console.log(code); // Outputs code with validated phone number
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error initializing WhatsApp client:', error.message);
  }
})();

Example: Display QR Code in Terminal 📱

(async () => {
  try {
    const customOptions = {
      // ... other options
      printQRInTerminal: true, 
    };
    const client = await WhatsAppClient.createMultiAuth('./auth', customOptions);
    const sock = await client.getSocket();
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error initializing WhatsApp client:', error.message);
  }
})();

The QR code will be printed directly in your terminal.


Simple Example Code


const { WhatsAppClient } = require('easy-baileys');

(async () => {
    try {
        const customOptions = {
            browser: ["Ubuntu", "Chrome", "20.0.04"],
            printQRInTerminal: true,
            mobile: false,
        };

        const client = await WhatsAppClient.createMultiAuth('./hacxk', customOptions);
        const conn = await client.getSocket();

        conn.ev.on("messages.upsert", async ({ messages }) => {
            for (const m of messages) {
                if (m.message?.conversation.toLowerCase() === 'hi') {
                    await conn.reply(m, 'Hello! 👋');
                }
            }
        });

    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error initializing WhatsApp client:', error.message);
    }
})();```

Handling Message Upserts

One of the key features of @whiskeysockets/baileys is the ability to handle incoming messages. The library provides an event called messages.upsert that you can listen to for new messages. Here’s how you can set up a listener for this event:

sock.ev.on("messages.upsert", async ({ messages }) => {
    for (const m of messages) {
        console.log(m);
    }
});

Real-World Use Case

In a real-world scenario, you might want to do more than just log the messages. Here's an extended example that checks if the message contains text and replies to the sender:

sock.ev.on("messages.upsert", async ({ messages }) => {
    for (const m of messages) {
        console.log(m);
        
        if (m.message && m.message.conversation) {
            const sender = m.key.remoteJid;
            const messageText = m.message.conversation; 
            console.log(`Message from ${sender}: ${messageText}`);        
        }
    }
});

Setting Up Commands with easy-baileys

To create and manage commands for your WhatsApp bot using easy-baileys, follow these steps:

  1. Import loadCommands and getCommand from easy-baileys to manage your bot commands:

    const { loadCommands, getCommand } = require('easy-baileys');
  2. Loading Commands:

    Use loadCommands to load commands from a specified directory. Example:

    // Load commands from the specified directory
    await loadCommands('./commands');
  3. Handling Commands:

    Use getCommand to retrieve and execute commands based on incoming messages. Example:

    // Listen for new messages
    sock.ev.on("messages.upsert", async ({ messages }) => {
        for (const m of messages) {
            const { message } = m;
            const messageTypes = ['extendedTextMessage', 'conversation', 'imageMessage', 'videoMessage'];
    
            // Extract text from the message if it matches any of the specified types
            let text = messageTypes.reduce((acc, type) =>
                acc || (message[type] && (message[type].text || message[type].caption || message[type])) || '', '');
    
            // Convert the extracted text to lowercase for processing
            const response = text.toLowerCase();
            const prefix = ['!']; // Prefixes to identify commands
    
            // Check if the message starts with the prefix
            if (!prefix.some(p => response.startsWith(p))) {
                continue;
            }
    
            // Parse command name and arguments
            const [commandName, ...args] = response.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/\s+/);
    
            // Get the corresponding command handler
            const command = await getCommand(commandName);
    
            // If the command is not found, log and continue
            if (!command) {
                console.log(`Command not found: ${commandName}`);
                continue;
            }
    
            // Execute the command
            try {
                await command.execute(sock, m, args);
            } catch (cmdError) {
                console.error(`Error executing command '${commandName}':`, cmdError.message);
            }
        }
    });

Example Command File Structure

Here's an example structure for a Ping command (command/Ping.js):

module.exports = {
    usage: ["ping"],
    desc: "Checks the bot's response time.",
    commandType: "Bot",
    isGroupOnly: false,
    isAdminOnly: false,
    isPrivateOnly: false,
    emoji: '🏓', // Ping pong emoji for fun

    async execute(sock, m) {
        try {
            // Get the timestamp before sending the message
            const startTime = Date.now();
            const latency = Date.now() - startTime;
            await sock.reply(m, `🚀 Pong! ${latency}ms`);
        } catch (error) {
            await sock.reply(m, "❌ An error occurred while checking the ping: " + error);
        }
    }
};
