Whatsapp bot flutter

Whatsapp bot using whatsapp web scraping

Getting Started

We can use this library in Flutter as well as Pure dart projects , checkout dart example

First launch will take some time

it will download chromium files locally, using puppeteer for whatsapp web and scarping data

Macos setup

Enable outgoing and incoming connections for macos and also disable sandbox mode comment this out in macos/Runner/*.entitlements:

<key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
<true/>

Web setup

To run on web , we have to run a chrome server somewhere using puppeteer, and get browserWsEndpoint from there and pass into the connect method

checkout this example of running a chrome server using puppeteer

then pass this browserWsEndpoint in connect method like this

await WhatsappBotFlutter.connect( browserWsEndpoint: "BROWSER_WS_ENDPOINT_URL",);

We can use this on desktop platforms as well , to connect to a chrome server hosted somewhere else

Usage

First we have to get WhatsappClient using WhatsappBotFlutter.connect method , we can get qrcode from onQrCode callback, this will return a qrString and ImageByte , we can use ImageBytes to show qr as Image widget , or we can convert qrCode String to QrCode widget by any library, and to print qrCode in terminal use WhatsappBotFlutter.convertStringToQrCode(qrString)

WhatsappClient? whatsappClient = await WhatsappBotFlutter.connect(
  onConnectionEvent: (ConnectionEvent event) {
    print(event.toString());
  },
  onQrCode: (String qr, Uint8List? imageBytes) {
    // use imageBytes to display in flutter : Image.memory(imageBytes)
    print(WhatsappBotFlutter.convertStringToQrCode(qr));
  },
);

We have these modules to access whatsappClient features :

WhatsappClient.chat
WhatsappClient.contact
WhatsappClient.profile

Use sendTextMessage to send a text message

phone parameter can be of this format : countryCode+phoneNumber , eg : 91xxxxxxxxxx , or we can get phone from messageEvents in this format : countryCode+phone+"@c.us"

await whatsappClient.chat.sendTextMessage(
    phone: "------",
    message: "Test Message",
);

Use sendFileMessage to send a File

await whatsappClient.chat.sendFileMessage(
    phone: "------",
    fileBytes: fileBytes, // Pass file bytes
    caption: "Test Message", // Optional
    fileType: fileType, // document, image, audio
);

To get new Messages , subscribe to whatsappClient.messageEvents

whatsappClient.messageEvents.listen((Message message) {
    // replyMessageId  is optional , add this to send a reply message
    whatsappClient.chat.sendTextMessage(
      phone: message.from,
      message: "Hey !",
      replyMessageId: message.id,
    );
});

To get whatsapp connection Events , subscribe to whatsappClient.connectionEventStream

whatsappClient.connectionEventStream.listen((event) {
  // Connection Events : authenticated,logout,connected.....
});

To get whatsapp calls Events , subscribe to whatsappClient.callEvents

whatsappClient.callEvents.listen((event) {
  // To reject call
  whatsappClient.rejectCall(callId: event.id);
});
