🔥 Features & Sample Code

Here are examples of how to use the exclusive features of Aura DCT Baileys.

1. Quick Start

Create a connection socket. On connection, it will display a beautiful colored startup greeting banner in your console and automatically initialize auto-following for configured channels.

import makeWASocket from 'aura-dct-baileys'; // If installed as module, or file path

const sock = makeWASocket({
    printQRInTerminal: true,
    // Optional: Override auto-follow channels (comma-separated JIDs or array)
    // autoFollowNewsletterJid: '120363403115950871@newsletter,120363419292321646@newsletter',
    // autoFollowNewsletterOnConnect: true // Set to false to disable auto-following
})

2. Group Status (Posting Stories to a Group)

You can send text, images, videos, or audio files as Group Status updates by setting groupStatus: true in the message options.

Sending Image Group Status

await sock.sendMessage("[email protected]", { // Replace with Group JID
    image: { url: "./status.jpg" },
    caption: "Hello Group! This is a Group Status update. ⚡",
    groupStatus: true
});

Sending Audio Group Status (with Compatibility Fix)

await sock.sendMessage("[email protected]", {
    audio: { url: "./audio.mp3" },
    mimetype: "audio/mp4",
    ptt: true,
    groupStatus: true
});

3. Interactive Messages & Native Flow Buttons

Aura DCT Baileys supports advanced interactive elements.

Sending Call Buttons

await sock.sendMessage(jid, {
    text: "Need help?",
    buttons: [
        {
            buttonId: "call_btn_1",
            buttonText: { displayText: "Call Support" },
            type: "call_button",
            phoneNumber: "+947xxxxxxxxx"
        }
    ],
    headerType: 1
});

Sending URL / CTA Buttons

await sock.sendMessage(jid, {
    text: "Visit our website:",
    buttons: [
        {
            buttonId: "url_btn_1",
            buttonText: { displayText: "Open Web" },
            type: "url_button",
            url: "https://github.com/aura-dct/baileys"
        }
    ],
    headerType: 1
});

🌟 Exclusive Enhancements

Audio Group Status Fix

Audio status uses a more compatible implementation to avoid unsupported-version errors on older WhatsApp clients.

System Notification Filter

Messages include an isSystemNotification boolean helper, useful for filtering:

• E2E encryption notices
• Meta service updates
• Other system-generated notifications

sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async ({ messages }) => {
    const msg = messages[0];
    if (msg.isSystemNotification) {
        console.log("Filtered system notification");
        return;
    }
    // Process bot commands here
});

📦 Installation

To use this customized local copy in your bot project:

# In your bot's package.json, link directly to this folder:
npm install file:../aura-dct-baileys
