+## Connecting Account
+
+WhatsApp provides a multi-device API that allows Baileys to be authenticated as a second WhatsApp client by scanning a **QR code** or **Pairing Code** with WhatsApp on your phone.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> **[Here](#example-to-start) is a simple example of event handling**
+
+> [!TIP]
+> **You can see all supported socket configs [here](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/SocketConfig.html) (Recommended)**
+
+### Starting socket with **QR-CODE**
+
+> [!TIP]
+> You can customize browser name if you connect with **QR-CODE**, with `Browser` constant, we have some browsers config, **see [here](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/BrowsersMap.html)**
 
-TODO
+```ts
+import makeWASocket from 'baileys'
 
-## Connecting multi device (recommended)
+const sock = makeWASocket({
+    // can provide additional config here
+    browser: Browsers.ubuntu('My App'),
+    printQRInTerminal: true
+})
+```
 
-WhatsApp provides a multi-device API that allows Baileys to be authenticated as a second WhatsApp client by scanning a QR code with WhatsApp on your phone.
+If the connection is successful, you will see a QR code printed on your terminal screen, scan it with WhatsApp on your phone and you'll be logged in!
 
-``` ts
-import makeWASocket, { DisconnectReason } from '@whiskeysockets/baileys'
-import { Boom } from '@hapi/boom'

+> Pairing Code isn't Mobile API, it's a method to connect Whatsapp Web without QR-CODE, you can connect only with one device, see [here](https://faq.whatsapp.com/1324084875126592/?cms_platform=web)
 
-If the connection is successful, you will see a QR code printed on your terminal screen, scan it with WhatsApp on your phone and you'll be logged in!
+The phone number can't have `+` or `()` or `-`, only numbers, you must provide country code
+
+```ts

-## Configuring the Connection
-
-You can configure the connection by passing a `SocketConfig` object.
-
-The entire `SocketConfig` structure is mentioned here with default values:
-``` ts
-type SocketConfig = {
-    /** the WS url to connect to WA */
-    waWebSocketUrl: string | URL
-    /** Fails the connection if the socket times out in this interval */

-    /** Default timeout for queries, undefined for no timeout */
-    defaultQueryTimeoutMs: number | undefined
-    /** ping-pong interval for WS connection */
-    keepAliveIntervalMs: number
-    /** proxy agent */
-	agent?: Agent
-    /** pino logger */
-	logger: Logger
-    /** version to connect with */
-    version: WAVersion
-    /** override browser config */
-	browser: WABrowserDescription
-	/** agent used for fetch requests -- uploading/downloading media */
-	fetchAgent?: Agent
-    /** should the QR be printed in the terminal */
-    printQRInTerminal: boolean
-    /** should events be emitted for actions done by this socket connection */
-    emitOwnEvents: boolean
-    /** provide a cache to store media, so does not have to be re-uploaded */
-    mediaCache?: NodeCache
-    /** custom upload hosts to upload media to */
-    customUploadHosts: MediaConnInfo['hosts']
-    /** time to wait between sending new retry requests */
-    retryRequestDelayMs: number
-    /** max msg retry count */
-    maxMsgRetryCount: number
-    /** time to wait for the generation of the next QR in ms */
-    qrTimeout?: number;
-    /** provide an auth state object to maintain the auth state */
-    auth: AuthenticationState
-    /** manage history processing with this control; by default will sync up everything */
-    shouldSyncHistoryMessage: (msg: proto.Message.IHistorySyncNotification) => boolean
-    /** transaction capability options for SignalKeyStore */
-    transactionOpts: TransactionCapabilityOptions
-    /** provide a cache to store a user's device list */
-    userDevicesCache?: NodeCache
-    /** marks the client as online whenever the socket successfully connects */
-    markOnlineOnConnect: boolean
-    /**
-     * map to store the retry counts for failed messages;
-     * used to determine whether to retry a message or not */
-    msgRetryCounterMap?: MessageRetryMap
-    /** width for link preview images */
-    linkPreviewImageThumbnailWidth: number
-    /** Should Baileys ask the phone for full history, will be received async */
-    syncFullHistory: boolean
-    /** Should baileys fire init queries automatically, default true */
-    fireInitQueries: boolean
-    /**

-     * implement this so that messages failed to send (solves the "this message can take a while" issue) can be retried
-     * */
-    getMessage: (key: proto.IMessageKey) => Promise<proto.IMessage | undefined>
+const sock = makeWASocket({
+    // can provide additional config here
+    printQRInTerminal: false //need to be false
+})
+// NOTE: WAIT TILL QR EVENT BEFORE REQUESTING THE PAIRING CODE

+    const number = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
+    const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(number)
+    console.log(code)
 }
 ```
 
-### Emulating the Desktop app instead of the web
+### Receive Full History
+
+1. Set `syncFullHistory` as `true`
+2. Baileys, by default, use chrome browser config
+    - If you'd like to emulate a desktop connection (and receive more message history), this browser setting to your Socket config:
+
+```ts
+const sock = makeWASocket({
+    ...otherOpts,
+    // can use Windows, Ubuntu here too
+    browser: Browsers.macOS('Desktop'),
+    syncFullHistory: true
+})
+```
+
+## Important Notes About Socket Config
+
+### Caching Group Metadata (Recommended)
+- If you use baileys for groups, we recommend you to set `cachedGroupMetadata` in socket config, you need to implement a cache like this:
+
+    ```ts
+    const groupCache = new NodeCache({stdTTL: 5 * 60, useClones: false})
+
+    const sock = makeWASocket({
+        cachedGroupMetadata: async (jid) => groupCache.get(jid)
+    })
+
+    sock.ev.on('groups.update', async ([event]) => {
+        const metadata = await sock.groupMetadata(event.id)
+        groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
+    })
+
+    sock.ev.on('group-participants.update', async (event) => {
+        const metadata = await sock.groupMetadata(event.id)
+        groupCache.set(event.id, metadata)
+    })
+    ```
 
-1. Baileys, by default, emulates a chrome web session
-2. If you'd like to emulate a desktop connection (and receive more message history), add this to your Socket config:
-    ``` ts
-    const conn = makeWASocket({
-        ...otherOpts,
-        // can use Windows, Ubuntu here too
-        browser: Browsers.macOS('Desktop'),
-        syncFullHistory: true
+### Improve Retry System & Decrypt Poll Votes
+- If you want to improve sending message, retrying when error occurs and decrypt poll votes, you need to have a store and set `getMessage` config in socket like this:
+    ```ts
+    const sock = makeWASocket({
+        getMessage: async (key) => await getMessageFromStore(key)
     })
     ```
 
+### Receive Notifications in Whatsapp App
+- If you want to receive notifications in whatsapp app, set `markOnlineOnConnect` to `false`
+    ```ts
+    const sock = makeWASocket({
+        markOnlineOnConnect: false
+    })
+    ```
 ## Saving & Restoring Sessions
 
 You obviously don't want to keep scanning the QR code every time you want to connect. 
 
 So, you can load the credentials to log back in:
-``` ts
-import makeWASocket, { BufferJSON, useMultiFileAuthState } from '@whiskeysockets/baileys'
-import * as fs from 'fs'
+```ts
+import makeWASocket, { useMultiFileAuthState } from 'baileys'
 
-// utility function to help save the auth state in a single folder
-// this function serves as a good guide to help write auth & key states for SQL/no-SQL databases, which I would recommend in any production grade system
 const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState('auth_info_baileys')
+
 // will use the given state to connect
 // so if valid credentials are available -- it'll connect without QR
-const conn = makeWASocket({ auth: state }) 
+const sock = makeWASocket({ auth: state })
+
 // this will be called as soon as the credentials are updated
-conn.ev.on ('creds.update', saveCreds)
-```
-
-**Note:** When a message is received/sent, due to signal sessions needing updating, the auth keys (`authState.keys`) will update. Whenever that happens, you must save the updated keys (`authState.keys.set()` is called). Not doing so will prevent your messages from reaching the recipient & cause other unexpected consequences. The `useMultiFileAuthState` function automatically takes care of that, but for any other serious implementation -- you will need to be very careful with the key state management.
-
-## Listening to Connection Updates
-
-Baileys now fires the `connection.update` event to let you know something has updated in the connection. This data has the following structure:
-``` ts
-type ConnectionState = {
-	/** connection is now open, connecting or closed */
-	connection: WAConnectionState
-	/** the error that caused the connection to close */
-	lastDisconnect?: {
-		error: Error
-		date: Date
-	}
-	/** is this a new login */
-	isNewLogin?: boolean
-	/** the current QR code */
-	qr?: string
-	/** has the device received all pending notifications while it was offline */
-	receivedPendingNotifications?: boolean 
-}
+sock.ev.on('creds.update', saveCreds)
 ```
 
-**Note:** this also offers any updates to the QR
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> `useMultiFileAuthState` is a utility function to help save the auth state in a single folder, this function serves as a good guide to help write auth & key states for SQL/no-SQL databases, which I would recommend in any production grade system.

 ## Handling Events
 
-Baileys uses the EventEmitter syntax for events. 
+- Baileys uses the EventEmitter syntax for events. 
 They're all nicely typed up, so you shouldn't have any issues with an Intellisense editor like VS Code.
 
-The events are typed as mentioned here:
-

-
-export type BaileysEventMap = {
-    /** connection state has been updated -- WS closed, opened, connecting etc. */
-	'connection.update': Partial<ConnectionState>
-    /** credentials updated -- some metadata, keys or something */

+## Whatsapp IDs Explain
+
+- `id` is the WhatsApp ID, called `jid` too, of the person or group you're sending the message to. 
+    - It must be in the format ```[country code][phone number]@s.whatsapp.net```
+	    - Example for people: ```+19999999999@s.whatsapp.net```. 
+	    - For groups, it must be in the format ``` 123456789-123345@g.us ```. 
+    - For broadcast lists, it's `[timestamp of creation]@broadcast`.
+    - For stories, the ID is `status@broadcast`.

-### Notes
-
-- `id` is the WhatsApp ID of the person or group you're sending the message to. 
-    - It must be in the format ```[country code][phone number]@s.whatsapp.net```
-	    - Example for people: ```+19999999999@s.whatsapp.net```. 
-	    - For groups, it must be in the format ``` 123456789-123345@g.us ```. 
-    - For broadcast lists, it's `[timestamp of creation]@broadcast`.
-    - For stories, the ID is `status@broadcast`.
-- For media messages, the thumbnail can be generated automatically for images & stickers provided you add `jimp` or `sharp` as a dependency in your project using `yarn add jimp` or `yarn add sharp`.

-        quoted: quotedMessage, // the message you want to quote
-        contextInfo: { forwardingScore: 2, isForwarded: true }, // some random context info (can show a forwarded message with this too)
-        timestamp: Date(), // optional, if you want to manually set the timestamp of the message

+- ``` presence ``` can be one of [these](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/WAPresence.html)
+- The presence expires after about 10 seconds.
+- This lets the person/group with `jid` know whether you're online, offline, typing etc. 
+
+```ts
+await sock.sendPresenceUpdate('available', jid) 
 ```
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> If a desktop client is active, WA doesn't send push notifications to the device. If you would like to receive said notifications -- mark your Baileys client offline using `sock.sendPresenceUpdate('unavailable')`
+
 ## Modifying Chats
 
 WA uses an encrypted form of communication to send chat/app updates. This has been implemented mostly and you can send the following updates:
 
-- Archive a chat
-  ``` ts
-  const lastMsgInChat = await getLastMessageInChat('123456@s.whatsapp.net') // implement this on your end
-  await sock.chatModify({ archive: true, lastMessages: [lastMsgInChat] }, '123456@s.whatsapp.net')
-  ```
-- Mute/unmute a chat
-  ``` ts
-  // mute for 8 hours
-  await sock.chatModify({ mute: 8*60*60*1000 }, '123456@s.whatsapp.net', [])
-  // unmute
-  await sock.chatModify({ mute: null }, '123456@s.whatsapp.net', [])
-  ```
-- Mark a chat read/unread
-  ``` ts
-  const lastMsgInChat = await getLastMessageInChat('123456@s.whatsapp.net') // implement this on your end
-  // mark it unread
-  await sock.chatModify({ markRead: false, lastMessages: [lastMsgInChat] }, '123456@s.whatsapp.net')
-  ```
-
-- Delete a message for me
-  ``` ts
-  await sock.chatModify(
-    { clear: { messages: [{ id: 'ATWYHDNNWU81732J', fromMe: true, timestamp: "1654823909" }] } }, 
-    '123456@s.whatsapp.net', 
-    []
-    )
-
-  ```
-
-- Delete a chat
-  ``` ts
-  const lastMsgInChat = await getLastMessageInChat('123456@s.whatsapp.net') // implement this on your end
-  await sock.chatModify({
-    delete: true,
-    lastMessages: [{ key: lastMsgInChat.key, messageTimestamp: lastMsgInChat.messageTimestamp }]
-  },
-  '123456@s.whatsapp.net')
-  ```
-
-- Pin/unpin a chat
-  ``` ts
-  await sock.chatModify({
-    pin: true // or `false` to unpin
-  },
-  '123456@s.whatsapp.net')
-  ```
-  
-- Star/unstar a message
-  ``` ts
-  await sock.chatModify({
-  star: {
-  	messages: [{ id: 'messageID', fromMe: true // or `false` }],
-      	star: true // - true: Star Message; false: Unstar Message
-  }},'123456@s.whatsapp.net');
-  ```
-
-**Note:** if you mess up one of your updates, WA can log you out of all your devices and you'll have to log in again.

+- Messages can be sent to broadcasts & stories. You need to add the following message options in sendMessage, like this:
 ```ts
-sock.sendMessage(jid, {image: {url: url}, caption: caption}, {backgroundColor : backgroundColor, font : font, statusJidList: statusJidList, broadcast : true})
+await sock.sendMessage(
+    jid,

+    }
+)
 ```
-- the message body can be a extendedTextMessage or imageMessage or videoMessage or voiceMessage
-- You can add backgroundColor and other options in the message options
-- broadcast: true enables broadcast mode
-- statusJidList: a list of people that you can get which you need to provide, which are the people who will get this status message.
+- Message body can be a `extendedTextMessage` or `imageMessage` or `videoMessage` or `voiceMessage`, see [here](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/AnyRegularMessageContent.html)
+- You can add `backgroundColor` and other options in the message options, see [here](https://baileys.whiskeysockets.io/types/MiscMessageGenerationOptions.html)
+- `broadcast: true` enables broadcast mode
+- `statusJidList`: a list of people that you can get which you need to provide, which are the people who will get this status message.
 
 - You can send messages to broadcast lists the same way you send messages to groups & individual chats.
 - Right now, WA Web does not support creating broadcast lists, but you can still delete them.
 - Broadcast IDs are in the format `12345678@broadcast`
-- To query a broadcast list's recipients & name:
-    ``` ts
-    const bList = await sock.getBroadcastListInfo("1234@broadcast")
-    console.log (`list name: ${bList.name}, recps: ${bList.recipients}`)
-    ```
+### Query a Broadcast List's Recipients & Name
+```ts
+const bList = await sock.getBroadcastListInfo('1234@broadcast')
+console.log (`list name: ${bList.name}, recps: ${bList.recipients}`)
+```
 
 ## Writing Custom Functionality
 Baileys is written with custom functionality in mind. Instead of forking the project & re-writing the internals, you can simply write your own extensions.
 
+### Enabling Debug Level in Baileys Logs
 First, enable the logging of unhandled messages from WhatsApp by setting:
-``` ts
+```ts
 const sock = makeWASocket({
     logger: P({ level: 'debug' }),
 })
 ```
 This will enable you to see all sorts of messages WhatsApp sends in the console. 
 
-Some examples:
-
-1. Functionality to track the battery percentage of your phone.
-    You enable logging and you'll see a message about your battery pop up in the console: 
-    ```{"level":10,"fromMe":false,"frame":{"tag":"ib","attrs":{"from":"@s.whatsapp.net"},"content":[{"tag":"edge_routing","attrs":{},"content":[{"tag":"routing_info","attrs":{},"content":{"type":"Buffer","data":[8,2,8,5]}}]}]},"msg":"communication"} ``` 
-    
-   The "frame" is what the message received is, it has three components:
-   - `tag` -- what this frame is about (eg. message will have "message")
-   - `attrs` -- a string key-value pair with some metadata (contains ID of the message usually)
-   - `content` -- the actual data (eg. a message node will have the actual message content in it)
-   - read more about this format [here](/src/WABinary/readme.md)
-
-    You can register a callback for an event using the following:
-    ``` ts
-    // for any message with tag 'edge_routing'
-    sock.ws.on(`CB:edge_routing`, (node: BinaryNode) => { })
-    // for any message with tag 'edge_routing' and id attribute = abcd
-    sock.ws.on(`CB:edge_routing,id:abcd`, (node: BinaryNode) => { })
-    // for any message with tag 'edge_routing', id attribute = abcd & first content node routing_info
-    sock.ws.on(`CB:edge_routing,id:abcd,routing_info`, (node: BinaryNode) => { })

+        "fromMe": false,

+            "attrs": {

+                            }
+                        }
+                    ]
+                }
+            ]
+        },
+        "msg":"communication"
+    }
+    ```

+The `'frame'` is what the message received is, it has three components:
+- `tag` -- what this frame is about (eg. message will have 'message')
+- `attrs` -- a string key-value pair with some metadata (contains ID of the message usually)
+- `content` -- the actual data (eg. a message node will have the actual message content in it)

+### Register a Callback for Websocket Events
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Recommended to see `onMessageReceived` function in `socket.ts` file to understand how websockets events are fired
+
+```ts
+// for any message with tag 'edge_routing'
+sock.ws.on('CB:edge_routing', (node: BinaryNode) => { })
+
+// for any message with tag 'edge_routing' and id attribute = abcd
+sock.ws.on('CB:edge_routing,id:abcd', (node: BinaryNode) => { })
+
+// for any message with tag 'edge_routing', id attribute = abcd & first content node routing_info
+sock.ws.on('CB:edge_routing,id:abcd,routing_info', (node: BinaryNode) => { })
+```
