whatsapp-web.js Files

This release introduces a couple new features and bug fixes.

Create MessageMedia from a file

This is a helper function to create a new MessageMedia from a local file in a much easier way. It will automatically take care of reading the file in base64, compute its mimetype and get the filename.

:::js
const media = MessageMedia.fromFilePath('./path/to/image.png');

Mute/Unmute Chats

You can now mute chats until a specified date

:::js
// mute until January 1, 2025
chat.mute(new Date('2025-01-01'));

Send audio files as voice notes

:::js
const media = MessageMedia.fromFilePath('./path/to/audio.mp3');
await chat.sendMessage(media, {sendAudioAsVoice: true});
