Notes

• The app only provide a very simple validation, you may want to implement your own.
• When sending message, your message property will not be validated, so make sure you sent the right data!
• There's no authentication, you may want to implement your own.
• The Beta Multi-Device client use provided Baileys's makeInMemoryStore method which will store your data in memory and a json file, you may want to use a better data management.
• Automatically reading incoming messages is now disabled by default. Uncomment whatsapp.js:91-105 to enable this behaviour.
• If you have problems when deploying on CPanel or any other similar hosting, transpiling your code into CommonJS should fix the problems.
