🌱 @itsliaaa/baileys

Enhanced Baileys v7 with fixed newsletter media upload, plus support for interactive messages, albums, and more message types.

☕ For donation: Saweria

✨ Highlights

This fork designed for production use with a focus on clarity and safety:

🚫 No obfuscation. Easy to read and audit.
🚫 No auto-follow channel (newsletter) behavior.

🛠️ Internal Adjustments

🖼️ Fixed an issue where media could not be sent to newsletters due to an upstream issue.
📁 Reintroduced makeInMemoryStore with a minimal ESM adaptation and small adjustments for Baileys v7.
📦 Switched FFmpeg execution from exec to spawn for safer process handling.
🗃️ Added @napi-rs/image as a supported image processing backend in getImageProcessingLibrary(), offering a balance between performance and compatibility.

📨 Message Handling & Compatibility

📩 Expanded message support for:
- 🖼️ Album Message
- 👤 Group Status Message
- 👉🏻 Interactive Message (buttons, lists, native flows, templates, carousels).
- 🎞️ Status Mention Message
- 📦 Sticker Pack Message
- ✨ Rich Response Message [NEW]
- 🧾 Message with Code Blocks [NEW]
- 📋 Message with Table [NEW]
- 💳 Payment-related Message (payment requests, invites, orders, invoices).
📰 Simplified sending messages with ad thumbnail using externalAdReply, without requiring manual contextInfo.

🧩 Additional Message Options

👁️ Added optional boolean flags for message handling:
- 🤖 ai - AI icon on message
- 📣 mentionAll - Mention all group participants without requiring their JIDs in mentions or mentionedJid [NEW]
- 🔧 ephemeral, groupStatus, viewOnceV2, viewOnceV2Extension, interactiveAsTemplate - Message wrappers
- 🔒 secureMetaServiceLabel - Secure meta service label on message [NEW]
- 📄 raw - Build your message manually (DO NOT USE FOR EXPLOITATION)

Note

📄 This project is maintained with limited scope and is not intended to replace upstream Baileys.

😞 And, really sorry for my bad english.

🗄️ Implementing a Data Store

Caution

I highly recommend building your own data store, as keeping an entire chat history in memory can lead to excessive RAM usage.

import { makeWASocket, makeInMemoryStore, delay, DisconnectReason, useMultiFileAuthState } from '@itsliaaa/baileys'
import { Boom } from '@hapi/boom'
import pino from 'pino'

const myPhoneNumber = '6288888888888'

// --- Create your store path
const storePath = './store.json'

const logger = pino({ level: 'silent' })

const connectToWhatsApp = async () => {
   const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('session')
    
   const sock = makeWASocket({
      logger,
      auth: state
   })

   const store = makeInMemoryStore({
      logger,
      socket: sock
   })

   store.bind(sock.ev)

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

   sock.ev.on('connection.update', (update) => {
      const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update
      if (connection === 'connecting' && !sock.authState.creds.registered) {
         await delay(1500)
         const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(myPhoneNumber)
         console.log('🔗 Pairing code', ':', code)
      }
      else if (connection === 'close') {
         const shouldReconnect = new Boom(connection?.lastDisconnect?.error)?.output?.statusCode !== DisconnectReason.loggedOut
         console.log('⚠️ Connection closed because', lastDisconnect.error, ', reconnecting ', shouldReconnect)
         if (shouldReconnect) {
            connectToWhatsApp()
         }
      }
      else if (connection === 'open') {
         console.log('✅ Successfully connected to WhatsApp')
      }
   })

   sock.ev.on('chats.upsert', () => {
      console.log('✉️ Got chats', store.chats.all())
   })

   sock.ev.on('contacts.upsert', () => {
      console.log('👥 Got contacts', Object.values(store.contacts))
   })

   // --- Read store from file
   store.readFromFile(storePath)

   // --- Save store every 3 minutes
   setInterval(() => {
      store.writeToFile(storePath)
   }, 180000)
}

🪪 WhatsApp IDs Explain

id is the WhatsApp ID, called jid and lid 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 and 12699999999@lid.
- For groups, it must be in the format 123456789-123345@g.us.
For Meta AI, it's 11111111111@bot.
For broadcast lists, it's [timestamp of creation]@broadcast.
For stories, the ID is status@broadcast.

✉️ Sending Messages

Note

You can get the jid from message.key.remoteJid in the first example.

✨ Rich Response

Note

richResponse[] is a representation of submessages[] inside richResponseMessage.

Tip

You can still use the original submessages[] field directly. The code example below is just an implementation using a helper, not a required structure.

sock.sendMessage(jid, {
   richResponse: [{
      text: 'Example Usage',
   }, {
      language: 'javascript',
      code: [{
         highlightType: 0,
         codeContent: 'console.log("Hello, World!")'
      }]
   }, {
      text: 'Pretty simple, right?\n'
   }, {
      text: 'Comparison between Node.js, Bun, and Deno',
   }, {
      title: 'Runtime Comparison',
      table: [{
         isHeading: true,
         items: ['', 'Node.js', 'Bun', 'Deno']
      }, {
         isHeading: false,
         items: ['Engine', 'V8 (C++)', 'JavaScriptCore (C++)', 'V8 (C++)']
      }, {
         isHeading: false,
         items: ['Performance', '4/5', '5/5', '4/5']
      }]
   }, {
      text: 'Does this help clarify the differences?'
   }]
})

🧾 Message with Code Block

sock.sendMessage(jid, {
   headerText: '## Example Usage',
   contentText: '---',
   code: 'console.log("Hello, World!")',
   language: 'javascript',
   footerText: 'Pretty simple, right?'
})

📋 Message with Table

sock.sendMessage(jid, {
   headerText: '## Comparison between Node.js, Bun, and Deno',
   contentText: '---',
   title: 'Runtime Comparison',
   table: [
      ['', 'Node.js', 'Bun', 'Deno'],
      ['Engine', 'V8 (C++)', 'JavaScriptCore (C++)', 'V8 (C++)'],
      ['Performance', '4/5', '5/5', '4/5']
   ],
   footerText: 'Does this help clarify the differences?'
})

🎞️ Status Mention

sock.sendMessage([jidA, jidB, jidC], {
   text: 'Hello! 👋🏻'
})

📁 Sending Media Messages

Note

For media messages, you can pass a Buffer directly, or an object with either { stream: Readable } or { url: string } (local file path or HTTP/HTTPS URL).

🖼️ Image

sock.sendMessage(jid, {
   image: {
      url: './path/to/image.jpg'
   },
   caption: '🔥 Superb'

🎥 Video

sock.sendMessage(jid, {
   video: {
      url: './path/to/video.mp4'
   },
   gifPlayback: false, // --- Set true if you want to send video as GIF
   ptv: false,  // --- Set true if you want to send video as PTV
   caption: '🔥 Superb'
}, {
   quoted: message
})

📃 Sticker

sock.sendMessage(jid, {
   sticker: {
      url: './path/to/sticker.webp'
   }

   quoted: message
})

💽 Audio

sock.sendMessage(jid, {
   audio: {

      },
      caption: '2nd image'
   }, {
      video: {
         url: './path/to/video.mp4'
      },
      caption: '2nd video'
   }]
}, {
   quoted: message
})

📦 Sticker Pack

Important

If sharp or @napi-rs/image is not installed, the cover and stickers must already be in WebP format.

   },
   stickers: [{
      data: {

      }
   }, {
      data: {
         url: './path/to/image.webp'
      }
   }, {
      data: {
         url: './path/to/image.webp'
