How to Use

This package provides two ways to connect to your database using a connection string or using a connection options object,

Using a Connection String

You can establish a connection by passing a valid connection string directly:

const { saveCreds, state } = await useBaileysAuthState(
  "mysql://<username>:<password>@localhost:3306/mydatabase"
);

[!NOTE] Since the release of version v1.2.0 baileysauth has supported custom table name and session name for connection string connect method. Please check the example directory to see how to customize it.

Using Connection Options

Alternatively, you can use an options object for more flexibility. This method allows you to specify the database driver explicitly using the dialect property and pass driver-specific options through the args property.

const { saveCreds, wipeCreds, state } = await useBaileysAuthState({
  dialect: "mysql", // allowed values: mysql, pg, mongodb
  database: MYSQL_DATABASE,
  host: MYSQL_HOST,
  user: MYSQL_USER,
  password: MYSQL_PASSWORD,
  port: MYSQL_PORT,
  session: APP_SESSION,
  table: APP_STORE,
  // Driver-specific options (optional)
  args: {
    // For MySQL (mysql2)
    connectionLimit: 10,
    ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false },
  },
});

[!NOTE] The args property should contain valid options specific to the selected dialect. Refer connection options below based on your dialect,

• MySQL – ConnectionOptionsBase and ConnectionOptions
• PostgreSQL – ConnectionOptionsBase and ClientConfig
• MongoDB – MongoDBConnectionOptions and MongoClientOptions

If you are still confused, please ask by creating an issue.
