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);
        }
    }
};
