🛠️ Usage

Initialize the WhatsApp Client

import { WhatsappCloudApiClient, WhatsappBusinessApiClient } from '@sb/whatsapp-api-sdk';

const { wa, waba } = getWhatsappApi({
    whatsapp: {
        accessToken: 'your-meta-access-token',
        phoneNumberId: 'your-phone-number-id',
        whatsappBusinessId: 'your-business-account-id'
    }
});

// The wa client is for general WhatsApp Cloud API operations
// The waba client is for WhatsApp Business API operations

Initialize the Instagram Client

import { InstagramApiClient } from '@sb/whatsapp-api-sdk';

const insta = new InstagramApiClient({
    token: 'your-instagram-access-token',
    phoneNumberId: 'your-instagram-user-id',
    onError: (error) => console.error('Error:', JSON.stringify(error, null, 4)),
});

Sending a WhatsApp Text Message

// Using WhatsApp Cloud API
await wa.sendTextMessage('<CUSTOMER_PHONE_NUMBER>', 'Hello from WhatsApp API SDK!');

// Using Instagram API
await insta.sendMessage('<INSTAGRAM_USER_ID>', 'Hello from Instagram API SDK!');

Sending an Interactive Message with Buttons

await client.sendButtonMessage('<CUSTOMER_PHONE_NUMBER>', {
  body: 'Choose an option:',
  buttons: [
    { type: 'reply', id: '1', title: 'Option 1' },
    { type: 'reply', id: '2', title: 'Option 2' },
  ],
});

Sending a Call-to-Action Button (CTA)

await client.sendCTAMessage('<CUSTOMER_PHONE_NUMBER>', {
  header: { type: 'text', text: 'Header Text' },
  body: 'Visit our website:',
  footer: 'Footer Text',
  buttons: [
    { type: 'url', url: 'https://example.com', title: 'Go to Website' },
  ],
});

Webhook Integration

The SDK provides a built-in webhook handler using Express:

import express from 'express';
import WhatsAppClient from '@sb/whatsapp-api-sdk';

const app = express();
const client = new WhatsAppClient({
  accessToken: 'your-meta-access-token',
  verifyToken: 'your-webhook-verify-token',
});

client.setupWebhookRoutes(app);

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Webhook server running on port 3000');
});
