const { Wechaty } = require('wechaty')
Wechaty.instance() // Singleton
.on('scan', (url, code) => console.log(`Scan QR Code to login: ${code}\n${url}`))
.on('login', user => console.log(`User ${user} logined`))
.on('message', message => console.log(`Message: ${message}`))
.init()
This bot can log all message to console.
You can find more example from Wiki and Example Directory.
The above 10 minutes video tutorial was presented by @lijiarui, which is a good start if you are new to Wechaty.
Let's say, you have saved the above six lines javascript example to mybot.js
.
We have two options to run wechaty:
- Docker
- NPM
The best practice to use Wechaty is run by docker, becasue it's not only the most easy way to get start, but also protect you out of the troubles of dependencies problems.
$ docker run -ti --rm --volume="$(pwd)":/bot zixia/wechaty mybot.js
Wechaty Docker support to run TypeScript directly as well: just write in TypeScript and save to
mybot.ts
.

- Use Dependency Injection for FriendRequest(etc)
- Use Observable for Throttle API Call Rate with Server
My daily life/work depends on too much chat on wechat.
- I almost have 14,000 wechat friends in May 2014, before wechat restricts a total number of friends to 5,000.
- I almost have 400 wechat rooms that most of them have more than 400 members.
Can you image that? I'm dying...
So a tireless bot working for me 24x7 on wechat, monitoring/filtering the most important message is badly needed. For example highlights discussion which contains the KEYWORDS which I want to follow up(especially in a noisy room). ;-)
At last, It's built for my personal study purpose of Automatically Testing.
