// --- ESM
import { Client } from '@itsliaaa/starcore'

// --- CJS (tested and working on Node.js 24 ✅)
const { Client } = require('@itsliaaa/starcore')

// --- If "require()" fails on CJS, you can use a dynamic import (IIFE)
;(async () => {
   try {
      const { Client } = await import('@itsliaaa/starcore')
      const client = new Client({
         // ...options
      })
   }
   catch (error) {
      console.error('❌ Failed to import', ':', error)

   if (ctx.body === 'hello') {
      ctx.m.reply('👋 Hello there!')
   }
})

[!IMPORTANT] The underlying Baileys socket instance is available through client.sock.

🗄️ Managing Store

Manually load and save store data.

client.on('ready', ({ store }) => {
   store.readFromFile()

   setInterval(async () => {
      try {
         await store.writeToFile()
      }
      catch (error) {
         console.error('❌ An unexpected error occurred when saving store', ':', error)
      }
   }, 600_000)
})

🗑️ Temporary Folder

Since 0.0.0-alpha.3, temporary files are no longer cleaned up automatically. Implement your own cleanup routine if required.

import { readdir, unlink } from 'fs/promises'
import { join } from 'path'

setInterval(async () => {
   try {
      const temporaryFiles = await readdir(process.env.TEMPORARY_PATH)

      if (temporaryFiles.length) {
         for (const fileName of temporaryFiles) {
            const filePath = join(process.env.TEMPORARY_PATH, fileName)
            await unlink(filePath)
         }
      }

      console.log('🗑️ Cleaned up temp folder')
   }
   catch (error) {
      console.error('❌ Failed to clean temp folder', ':', error)
   }
}, 300_000)

🗳️ Database

Including two built-in database backends to fit different use cases:

• JSON: A lightweight solution for small projects and straightforward data storage.
• SQLite: Powered by better-sqlite3, delivering high performance, low overhead, and a hassle-free experience.

📎 JSON

import { Database } from '@itsliaaa/starcore'

const db = await Database.json('database.json')

const data = await db.read()

await db.write({
   users: {},
   groups: {},
   settings: {}
})

📎 SQLite

[!IMPORTANT] better-sqlite3@>=12.2.0 is a peer dependency. You must install it manually and add it to your project's package.json.

import { Database } from '@itsliaaa/starcore'

const db = await Database.sqlite('database.db')

const data = db.read()

db.write({
   users: {},
   groups: {},
   settings: {}
})

db.close()

🧩 Extend

If you prefer not to use the Client wrapper but still want the additional features provided by this package, you can use Extend.

[!TIP] sock is used as the Baileys socket instance throughout this example. If your project uses a different variable name (e.g. conn or client), replace sock with your own variable name.

[!CAUTION] Your Baileys instance must be extensible and writable, as Extend attaches additional methods to the instance.

import { Extend } from '@itsliaaa/starcore'
import { makeWASocket } from 'baileys'

const sock = makeWASocket({ ... })

await Extend(sock, {
   messageIdPrefix: 'STARCORE',
   updatePresence: true, // Default: true
   autoFollowNewsletter: '1211111111111@newsletter', // String | String[] | false
   newsletterAnnotation: {
      newsletterJid: '1211111111111@newsletter',
      newsletterName: '@itsliaaa/starcore',
      contentType: 1
   } // IForwardedNewsletterMessageInfo | false
})

// sock.sendText(jid, 'Hello there', message)

Besides extending your socket with additional helper methods, Extend also provides built-in decryption for secretEncryptedMessage to obtain editedMessage and automatically decrypts the vote payload contained in pollUpdateMessage.

🌐 Request

[!NOTE] This feature relies on Node.js's built-in fetch() API along with several other native Node.js capabilities. Therefore, it's highly recommended to use Node.js version 20 or newer (>= 20) to ensure everything works properly.

import { Request } from '@itsliaaa/starcore'

// --- Quick request
const result = await Request.request('https://path-to-web-api.com/', {
   timeout: 3000 // Default: 1.5 minutes
})

// --- Get url from redirect url
const maxRedirects = 3 // Default: 3
const realUrl = await Request.resolveUrl('https://path-to-redirect.com/', maxRedirects)

// --- Create a fast path
const someApi = Request.createApiRequest('https://path-to-web-api.com/')

const getResult = await someApi('path/to/get', {
   q: 'Hello'
}, {
   // Optional
   timeout: 3000,
   method: 'GET',
   headers: {}
})

const postResult = await someApi('path/to/post', null, {
   method: 'POST',
   headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
   },
   body: JSON.stringify({
      q: 'Hello'
   })
})
