📦 Installation

npm i wileys

Edge Version (Latest Features)

npm i wileys@latest
# or
yarn add wileys@latest

Import in Code

const { default: makeWASocket } = require("wileys")
// or ES6
import makeWASocket from "wileys"

🚀 Quick Start

Example

Here is an example you can use: example.ts or follow this tutorial to run the Wileys WhatsApp API code:

  • cd path/to/wileys
    
  • npm install
    
  • node example.js
    

Basic Example

const { default: makeWASocket, DisconnectReason, useMultiFileAuthState } = require('wileys')
const { Boom } = require('@hapi/boom')

async function connectToWhatsApp() {
    const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')
    
    const sock = makeWASocket({
        auth: state,
        printQRInTerminal: true,
        browser: ['Wileys', 'Desktop', '3.0']
    })

    sock.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)
            if(shouldReconnect) {
                connectToWhatsApp()
            }
        } else if(connection === 'open') {
            console.log('✅ Successfully connected to WhatsApp!')
        }
    })

    sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async ({ messages }) => {
        for (const m of messages) {
            if (!m.message) continue
            
            console.log('📱 New message:', JSON.stringify(m, undefined, 2))
            
            // Auto reply
            await sock.sendMessage(m.key.remoteJid!, { 
                text: 'Hello! I am a WhatsApp bot using Wileys 🤖' 
            })
        }
    })

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

Connecting Account

WhatsApp provides a multi-device API that allows wileys to authenticate as a secondary WhatsApp client via QR code or pairing code.

Starting Socket with QR Code

[!TIP] Customize the browser name using the Browsers constant. See available configurations here.

const { default: makeWASocket, Browsers } = require("wileys")

const sock = makeWASocket({
    browser: Browsers.ubuntu('My App'),
    printQRInTerminal: true
})

Upon successful connection, a QR code will be printed in the terminal. Scan it with WhatsApp on your phone to log in.

Starting Socket with Pairing Code

[!IMPORTANT] Pairing codes are not part of the Mobile API. They allow connecting WhatsApp Web without a QR code, but only one device can be connected. See WhatsApp FAQ.

Phone numbers must exclude +, (), or -, and include the country code.

const { default: makeWASocket } = require("wileys")

const sock = makeWASocket({
    printQRInTerminal: false
})

// Normal Pairing
if (!sock.authState.creds.registered) {
    const number = '6285134816783'
    const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(number)
    console.log('🔑 Pairing Code:', code)
}

// Custom Pairing
if (!sock.authState.creds.registered) {
    const pair = "YP240125" // 8 characters
    const number = '6285134816783'
    const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(number, pair)
    console.log('🔑 Custom Pairing Code:', code)
}

Receive Full History

  • Set syncFullHistory to true.
  • By default, Wileys uses Chrome browser config. For desktop-like connections (to receive more message history), use:
const { default: makeWASocket, Browsers } = require("wileys")

const sock = makeWASocket({
    browser: Browsers.macOS('Desktop'),
    syncFullHistory: true
})

Important Notes About Socket Config

For group usage, implement caching for group metadata:

const { default: makeWASocket } = require("wileys")
const NodeCache = require('node-cache')

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

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

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

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

Improve Retry System & Decrypt Poll Votes

Enhance message sending and poll vote decryption with a store:

const sock = makeWASocket({
    getMessage: async (key) => await getMessageFromStore(key)
})

Receive Notifications in WhatsApp App

Disable online status to receive notifications:

const sock = makeWASocket({
    markOnlineOnConnect: false
})

Saving & Restoring Sessions

Avoid rescanning QR codes by saving credentials:

const makeWASocket = require("wileys").default
const { useMultiFileAuthState } = require("wileys")

async function connect() {
    const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')
    const sock = makeWASocket({ auth: state })
    sock.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
}

connect()

[!IMPORTANT] useMultiFileAuthState saves auth state in a folder. For production, use SQL/no-SQL databases and carefully manage key updates.

Handling Events

Wileys uses EventEmitter for events, fully typed for IDE support.

[!IMPORTANT] See all events here.

const sock = makeWASocket()
sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', ({ messages }) => {
    console.log('Got messages:', messages)
})

Example to Start

const makeWASocket = require("wileys").default
const { DisconnectReason, useMultiFileAuthState } = require("wileys")
const { Boom } = require('@hapi/boom')

async function connectToWhatsApp() {
    const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')
    const sock = makeWASocket({
        auth: state,
        printQRInTerminal: true
    })

    sock.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)
            if(shouldReconnect) {
                connectToWhatsApp()
            }
        } else if(connection === 'open') {
            console.log('Opened connection')
        }
    })

    sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async ({ messages }) => {
        for (const m of messages) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(m, undefined, 2))
            console.log('Replying to', m.key.remoteJid)
            await sock.sendMessage(m.key.remoteJid!, { text: 'Hello World' })
        }
    })

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