Perfect if you want to:

﹒Build a full-featured WhatsApp bot ﹒Send automated messages at scale ﹒Integrate WhatsApp into your business systems ﹒Explore the WhatsApp API without dealing with Selenium or Puppeteer

✦ Requirements

[!CAUTION] Read this before you install anything.

This library requires Node.js v20 or higher. If you're running anything below v20, the process will exit immediately with an error on startup. This is intentional — not a bug.

Check your version right now:

node --version

If the output is below v20.x.x, upgrade at nodejs.org before continuing.

· · ────────────── · ·

| Component | Minimum | Recommended | |---|---|---| | Node.js | v20.0.0 | v20 LTS or newer | | NPM | v8+ | Latest | | WhatsApp Account | Active | Dedicated number for the bot | | Internet Connection | Stable | 1 Mbps minimum |

✦ Installation

One command and you're in:

npm install @phrolovaa/baileys

Or with yarn:

yarn add @phrolovaa/baileys

[!NOTE] If you run into install errors, try deleting node_modules and package-lock.json, then run the install command again.

✦ Quick Start

A few lines is all it takes to get a WhatsApp bot running:

import makeWASocket from '@phrolovaa/baileys';

const sock = makeWASocket();

// Monitor connection status
sock.ev.on('connection.update', (update) => {
  const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update;
  if (connection === 'open') {
    console.log('Connected to WhatsApp');
  }
  if (connection === 'close') {
    console.log('Disconnected — attempting to reconnect...');
  }
});

// Auto-reply incoming messages
sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async (m) => {
  const msg = m.messages[0];

  // Don't reply to your own messages
  if (!msg.key.fromMe) {
    await sock.sendMessage(msg.key.remoteJid, {
      text: 'Hello! Your message has been received.'
    });
  }
});

[!TIP] For production bots, always persist your session data to a file or database so you don't have to re-scan the QR Code every time the bot restarts. Use useSingleFileAuthState or a custom store implementation.
