Kitchen Sink Example

The kitchen sink example is included in this repo: examples/example.ts.

Run it with QR auth:

pnpm dlx tsx examples/example.ts

Use pairing-code auth instead of QR by setting WA_PAIRING_PHONE to an E.164 number without the leading +:

WA_PAIRING_PHONE=15551234567 pnpm dlx tsx examples/example.ts

After connecting, send !help in WhatsApp. The example covers:

• metadata.fromMe vs author.isMe for paired-account messages
• onNewMention, onNewMessage, and onSubscribedMessage
• named markRead, sendLocation, and sendPoll arguments
• native quoted replies
• reactions
• location pins
• poll metadata
• global and scoped poll vote handlers
• tracked poll listing and resumed poll handlers
• pairing-code login

To verify the paired-account identity behavior, send !identity from the paired phone account itself. The reply should show metadata.fromMe=true and author.isMe=false, which means the owner-sent message reached onNewMessage instead of being filtered as an adapter echo.

To verify poll votes, send !poll, select an option, change options, and clear the vote. The global poll handler logs to the terminal, and the scoped poll handler posts the selected option back to WhatsApp.
