Requirements

• Node v8+
• puppeteer v0.13.0+

Tested on Windows with Node v8.9.1 and puppeteer v0.13.0

Installation

• Clone this repository. git clone https://github.com/sarfraznawaz2005/whatspup.git
• Type npm install
• Type node chat.js USERNAME (case-sensitive)
• Chrome will open up, now just scan Whatsapp QR Code once via whatsapp app in your mobile
• Wait for connection and start typing your messages 😄

NOTE: Once you have connected by scanning QR code, your session will be saved so you won't have to scan it again and again unless you revoke from whatsapp app or by deleting tmp folder.

Commands

Changing User

You can switch chat with another user anytime by typing on console: --chat USERNAME (case-sensitive)

NOTE: USERNAME is supposed to be a person with whom you have already initiated a conversation in whatsapp. In other words, we use a selector to click that user's name from conversations list.

Clear Chat Screen

To clear chat screen, type --clear.

Options

You can set various options in config.js file.

Others

• You can send common emojis directly by typing :smile:, :lol:, :happy:, :love:, :wink: OR ;-), :-), <3, etc

Issues

• Currently does not seem to work in invisible/headless mode (seems to be a bug in puppeteer currently). So you have to set window option to true in config.js file. Now works in hidden mode, just ignore initial error messages shown on screen.
