Google Messages Cli Client:
What is this?
- this is a Google Messages Client library to send message with a backend .eg. with express to send otp messages. This module uses your own number to work as a sms gateway api and you can send message to other person with your own number.
How to use
- install the package from npm
npm install messages-web
- Use it
- Without credentials
const { default: MessagesClient } = require('messages-web')
const fs = require('fs')
const client = new MessagesClient()
client.on('qr-code', (base64Image) => {
// example code to save image
fs.writeFileSync('qr.jpg', base64Image.replace(/^data:image\/png;base64,/, ""), { encoding: 'base64' })
// your code
})
client.on('authenticated', async (service) => {
const inbox = service.getInbox()
const credentials = await client.getCredentials()
fs.writeFileSync('credentials.json', JSON.stringify(credentials, null, '\t'))
await client.quit()
})
Then you can use credentials.json file to login
- With credentials
const { default: MessagesClient } = require('messages-web')
const credentials = MessagesClient.loadCredentialFile('credentials.json')
const client = new MessagesClient({ credentials })
client.on('authenticated', async (service) => {
const inbox = await service.getInbox()
console.log('Inbox', inbox)
await client.quit()
})
- send message
const { default: MessagesClient } = require('messages-web')
const credentials = MessagesClient.loadCredentialFile('credentials.json')
const client = new MessagesClient({ credentials })
client.on('authenticated', async (service) => {
console.log('Sending message...')
await service.sendMessage('+91987654321', 'Test message from SMS Client.')
console.log('Done!')
await client.quit()
})
Note: sendMessage takes first arg as number with countryCode + Number second arg as TextMessage
- Examples are given here.
Todos
- add pagination in getInbox
- add sendMessage in Service
- add public method in client to save credentials to a file
- sendMessage: parse to var to check if country code is included or not
- Rewrite docs with proper details
- detect if phone is not connected
- detect if web client is open in another browser or not
