- Without credentials
const { default: MessagesClient } = require('messages-web')
const fs = require('fs')
const client = new MessagesClient()
client.on('qr-code', (base64Image) => {
// example code to save image
fs.writeFileSync('qr.jpg', base64Image.replace(/^data:image\/png;base64,/, ""), { encoding: 'base64' })
// your code
})
client.on('authenticated', async (service) => {
const inbox = service.getInbox()
const credentials = await client.getCredentials()
fs.writeFileSync('credentials.json', JSON.stringify(credentials, null, '\t'))

const credentials = MessagesClient.loadCredentialFile('credentials.json')
const client = new MessagesClient({ credentials })
client.on('authenticated', async (service) => {

client.on('authenticated', async (service) => {
console.log('Sending message...')
await service.sendMessage('+91987654321', 'Test message from SMS Client.')
