Installation & Quick Start

Installing Baileys (UDMODZ Edition) is straightforward. The package is published on npm as amiudmodz and is fully backwards-compatible with baileys code.

Installation​

Run the following command in your project directory:

npm install amiudmodz

Quick Start Example​

This code illustrates how to establish a socket connection and immediately use UDMODZ-exclusive features such as the Meta AI badge.

import makeWASocket, { useMultiFileAuthState } from 'amiudmodz'

async function start() {
  // 1. Initialize authentication state
  const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')

  // 2. Create the connection socket
  const sock = makeWASocket({
    auth: state,
    printQRInTerminal: true, // Display QR code in console if not linked
  })

  // 3. Save credentials when updated
  sock.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)

  // 4. Handle incoming messages & send responses
  sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async (m) => {
    const msg = m.messages[0]
    if (!msg.message || msg.key.fromMe) return

    const jid = msg.key.remoteJid!
    const text = msg.message.conversation || msg.message.extendedTextMessage?.text

    if (text === 'ping') {
      // Send an AI-themed response
      await sock.sendMessage(jid, {
        text: 'Pong! Generated in real-time.',
        ai: true, // Exclusive UDMODZ Feature: Meta AI ✦ icon
      })
    }
  })
}

start().catch(console.error)

Upgrading from Vanilla Baileys​

To upgrade an existing project, replace the package dependency and adjust your imports:

  1. Uninstall the vanilla package and install amiudmodz: 
    npm uninstall @whiskeysockets/baileys
    npm install amiudmodz
  2. Replace all import statements: 
    // Old
    import makeWASocket from '@whiskeysockets/baileys'
    // New
    import makeWASocket from 'amiudmodz'
  3. Run your code! No database schema or signal store changes are needed.
