WhatsApp Bot Project

This project is a WhatsApp bot built using the Go programming language and the WhatsMeow library. It uses PostgreSQL as its database, and it's containerized using Docker.

Prerequisites

• Go (version 1.16 or later)
• Docker and Docker Compose
• PostgreSQL (version 13 or later)

How to Run

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Build the Docker images using Docker Compose with the following command:

docker-compose up --build

This command will start the PostgreSQL database and the application.

How It Works

The bot connects to WhatsApp using the WhatsMeow library. If it's the first time running, it will generate a QR code that you need to scan using your phone to authenticate. Once authenticated, the bot listens for incoming messages. When a message is received, it sends a reply back to the sender. The bot uses a PostgreSQL database to store device information. The database connection details are configured in the docker-compose.yml file.

Stopping the Application

To stop the application, you can use the following command:

docker-compose down
