Description

This service communicates with whatsapp web, using the puppeteer. This bot is inspired by 99% of the bots I see out there on the internet, from e-commerces

Credits to the author of the library PEDRO

Special thanks for the structure CAIO

1 - API

The api has nothing to do with the service, the only thing it does is to communicate with the postgres database, I decided to post it too.

Create table into Postgres

$ npx knex migrate:latest

Insert data into Postgres

$ npx knex seed:run

Sample request using CURL in the command line/terminal:

curl http://localhost:4001/api/user/38581407838 | python3 -m json.tool

Access the documentation for all methods in the swagger 🥇

1 - SERVICE

Scan QRCODE

Attention you need to do this, right after running npm install in the Service folder, open service/node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/src/Client.js and add these lines

---LINE 43

 this.lastMessage = null;

---LINE 441 up until 443

    setPrevMessage(status){
        this.lastMessage = status;
    }

This function is for the puppeteer to go back and forth between pages.
