How to get messages

[Ralle]

Hey! Cool project!

I am trying to make a system that uses your wrapper to listen to a particular conversation and make a web based journal based on the messages. I managed to link my account, subscribe and if I set SIGNALD_NODE_DEBUG I can see the messages coming through, but how do I get to them?

I realize things are fresh out of the oven. But I figured I might as well contact you in case you know how and/or get motivated to make it work if that code isn't written yet 👍

For now this is what I do:

client.socketHandler.signaldSocket.on("data", (data) => {
  if (typeof data === "string") {
    const dataObj = JSON.parse(data);
    if (dataObj.type !== "message") {
      return;
    }
    // console.log("JSON", JSON.stringify(dataObj, null, 2));
    if (dataObj.data.syncMessage && dataObj.data.syncMessage.sent) {
      handleMessage(
        dataObj.data.source.number,
        dataObj.data.syncMessage.sent.message
      );
    }
    if (dataObj.data.dataMessage) {
      handleMessage(dataObj.data.source.number, dataObj.data.dataMessage);
    }
  }
});

function handleMessage(username, message) {
  console.log(username + ":");
  console.log("WHEN", new Date(message.timestamp));
  if (message.body) {
    console.log("MESSAGE", message.body);
  }
  if (message.attachments) {
    for (let i = 0; i < message.attachments.length; i++) {
      const a = message.attachments[i];
      console.log(
        "ATTACHMENT",
        i,
        a.contentType,
        a.storedFilename,
        a.customFilename
      );
    }
  }
}
