@leninpkg/baileys-auth

Generic auth-state adapter for Baileys, with pluggable persistence and serialization.

Quick Start (SQLite)

import pino from "pino";
import { makeWASocket } from "baileys";
import {
  BaileysAuth,
  JsonDataReplacer,
  SqliteDataSource,
  setupAuthListeners,
} from "@leninpkg/baileys-auth";

async function runApp() {
  const sessionId = "your-session-id";
  const dataSource = new SqliteDataSource("./data/baileys.sqlite");
  const dataReplacer = new JsonDataReplacer();

  // Load persisted credentials or initialize a new auth state for this session.
  const auth = await BaileysAuth.fromSession({
    sessionId,
    dataSource,
    dataReplacer,
  });

  const createSocket = () =>
    makeWASocket({
      logger: pino({ level: "silent" }),
      auth: auth.state,
    });

  const sock = createSocket();

  // Bind auth listeners (save creds + optional socket recreation on logout).
  // You can disable recreation and handle reconnect flow manually.
  setupAuthListeners(auth, sock, {
    clearSessionOnLogout: true,
    recreateSocketOnLogout: true,
    recreateSocketDelayMs: 1000,
    // Required when recreateSocketOnLogout is true.
    createSocket,
  });
}

runApp();

Example DataSource Implementation (PostgreSQL)

Install dependency:

npm install pg

Suggested table:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS baileys_auth (
  session_id TEXT NOT NULL,
  key TEXT NOT NULL,
  value TEXT NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (session_id, key)
);

Example implementation:

import { Pool } from "pg";
import { IDataSource } from "@leninpkg/baileys-auth";

export class PgDataSource implements IDataSource<string> {
  public constructor(private readonly pool: Pool) {}

  public async write(sessionId: string, key: string, value: string): Promise<void> {
    await this.pool.query(
      `
      INSERT INTO baileys_auth (session_id, key, value)
      VALUES ($1, $2, $3)
      ON CONFLICT (session_id, key)
      DO UPDATE SET value = EXCLUDED.value
      `,
      [sessionId, key, value]
    );
  }

  public async read(sessionId: string, key: string): Promise<string | null> {
    const result = await this.pool.query<{ value: string }>(
      `
      SELECT value
      FROM baileys_auth
      WHERE session_id = $1 AND key = $2
      LIMIT 1
      `,
      [sessionId, key]
    );

    return result.rows[0]?.value ?? null;
  }

  public async delete(sessionId: string, key: string): Promise<void> {
    await this.pool.query(
      `
      DELETE FROM baileys_auth
      WHERE session_id = $1 AND key = $2
      `,
      [sessionId, key]
    );
  }

  public async flush(sessionId: string): Promise<void> {
    await this.pool.query(
      `
      DELETE FROM baileys_auth
      WHERE session_id = $1
      `,
      [sessionId]
    );
  }
}
