Baileys — Typescript/Javascript WhatsApp Web API

Baileys is a Typescript/Javascript library that implements the WhatsApp Web protocol. This fork/package re-exports the library under the package name veron-baileys so you can install it either using the stable unscoped name or via the original scoped names that point to this package.

Package on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/veron-baileys
Homepage / source: https://github.com/VeronDev/Baileys

Badges

• npm: veron-baileys (latest)
• Compatible aliases:

Quick install

Using Yarn (recommended)

yarn add veron-baileys
# or pin a specific version:
yarn add veron-baileys@1.0.2

Using npm

npm install veron-baileys
# or pin a specific version:

If you want to use the original package names as aliases in package.json, add these entries:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@whiskeysockets/baileys": "npm:veron-baileys@latest",
    "@adiwajshing/baileys": "npm:veron-baileys@latest",

Importing

If you installed the unscoped package:

import makeWASocket from 'veron-baileys'

If you used one of the aliased scoped package names, import exactly as you would normally:

import makeWASocket from '@whiskeysockets/baileys'
// or
import makeWASocket from '@adiwajshing/baileys'

import makeWASocket from 'veron-baileys'

async function start() {
  const sock = makeWASocket({
    // pass options here (logger, printQRInTerminal, auth, etc.)
  })

  sock.ev.on('connection.update', (update) => {
    console.log('connection update:', update)
  })

  sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', (m) => {
    console.log('messages upsert:', m)
  })
}

start().catch(console.error)

Notes and compatibility

• This package re-exports the Baileys API under the veron-baileys package name. If you depend on code that imports @whiskeysockets/baileys or @adiwajshing/baileys, you can use the alias entries above in package.json so existing imports continue to work.
• Check example.ts in the Example/ folder for a full demonstration of usage patterns, session persistence, message handling, and media upload/download.
• Keep your environment up-to-date with Node.js LTS releases for best compatibility.
