defmodule Amarula do
@moduledoc """
Amarula — a WhatsApp Web client for Elixir.
Connect to WhatsApp the way the web/desktop app does: pair once by scanning a
QR code with your phone, then send and receive messages from Elixir. Every call
takes a `conn` handle, so you can run many accounts at once — there is no global
connection.
## Quick start
Pair a device (first run), then send a message:
# 1. Start a connection. Events (the QR code, incoming messages) are sent
# to `parent_pid` — here, the current process.
{:ok, conn} =
Amarula.new(%{profile: :me})
|> Amarula.connect(parent_pid: self())
# 2. On the first run you get a QR code to scan with your phone:
# WhatsApp → Settings → Linked Devices → Link a device.
receive do
{:amarula, :connection_update, %{qr: qr}} when is_binary(qr) ->
IO.puts(qr) # render this string as a QR code
end
# 3. Once linked you get an :open update — now you can send.
receive do
{:amarula, :connection_update, %{connection: :open}} -> :ready
end
Amarula.send_text(conn, "5511999999999@s.whatsapp.net", "hello from Elixir!")
`:profile` names this account's stored credentials, so the next run reconnects
without a new QR. `Amarula.new/1` fills in all protocol defaults; you usually
pass only `:profile`. For a ready-made supervised wrapper, see
`Amarula.Examples.Connection`.
## Testing your bot
To test your message-handling logic without a real WhatsApp connection, use
`Amarula.Testing` — it starts an offline connection and lets you deliver
synthetic inbound messages that flow through the real receive pipeline.
## The QR code
The `qr` in a `:connection_update` is a plain string — *you* turn it into a
scannable image, with whatever you like (a terminal renderer, a `qr_code`
PNG, an HTML `
`, …). There is no built-in renderer and no login-phase
plugin hook: rendering is entirely the consumer's, via this event. (The
handshake/pairing crypto is deliberately closed to plugins — the send/receive
pipelines run only *after* a message is decrypted.)
The string is four comma-separated fields:
"[,,,"
* `ref` — a server-issued pairing reference (from the `` IQ); it
rotates every ~20s, so each rotation emits a fresh `:connection_update` with
a new `qr` — re-render on each.
* `noiseKeyB64` — our Noise static public key (base64).
* `identityKeyB64` — our signed identity public key (base64).
* `advSecretKeyB64` — the companion adv secret key (base64).
The phone reads our public keys + ref from the image to link the device. Render
it as-is — don't reformat the string. Example with `qr_code` (note its API is
`Result`-tuple based — `create/1` returns `{:ok, qr}` and `render/2` takes that
tuple, so you pipe straight through):
{:amarula, :connection_update, %{qr: qr}} when is_binary(qr) ->
qr |> QRCode.create() |> QRCode.render(:png) |> QRCode.save("qr.png")
## Addressing
A send target is a jid string — `"@s.whatsapp.net"` for a person,
`"@g.us"` for a group — or an `Amarula.Address` (use `Amarula.Address.pn/1`
to build one from a bare number).
## Sending
All sends return `{:ok, msg_id}` or `{:error, reason}`:
Amarula.send_text(conn, jid, "hello")
Amarula.send_media(conn, jid, :image, image_bytes, caption: "hi")
Amarula.send_reaction(conn, message_key, "👍") # "" removes the reaction
Amarula.send_edit(conn, message_key, "fixed typo")
Amarula.send_revoke(conn, message_key) # delete for everyone
A `message_key` is the `key` field of a message you received (see below) —
that's how you point a reaction/edit/delete at a specific message.
## Receiving
Incoming events arrive at `parent_pid` as `{:amarula, type, data}` tuples (the
full list is in `t:event/0`). The main one is `:messages_upsert`, whose `data`
carries `[%Amarula.Msg{}]` — the consumer-friendly message view (`type` +
`content`), never the raw protobuf. Match on `msg.type`; for media, fetch the
bytes lazily with `download_media/1`.
## What Amarula does NOT store
Amarula keeps only what the *protocol* needs (credentials, Signal sessions,
device/LID mappings). It is **not** a message archive and keeps **no chat or
DM list**: there is no "list my conversations" call, and incoming messages are
delivered once via `:messages_upsert` and then forgotten. If your app needs an
inbox, a contact list, or scrollback, persist it yourself from the events —
Amarula won't do it for you.
History *sync* (`:history_sync` events, and `fetch_history/4` to pull more on
demand) delivers WhatsApp's own history to you the same way — as events to
store, not a queryable archive Amarula maintains. `resolve_quoted/2` is the one
read-back helper, and only for a reply's quoted message you still hold.

own self-chat sends and avoid a feedback loop. This does a call into the connection,
