dependencies:
  neonize: ^1.0.0  # Replace with actual version

Quick Start

import 'package:neonize/neonize.dart';

void main() {
  // Initialize the client
  final client = NewAClient(
    name: 'my-whatsapp-bot',
    config: Config(
      tempPath: '/tmp',
      databasePath: './whatsapp.db',
    ),
  );

  // Handle incoming messages
  client.on<Message>((message) {
    print('📨 Received: ${message.message}');
    
    // Auto-reply example
    if (message.message?.conversation?.toLowerCase() == 'hello') {
      client.sendMessage(
        message.info!.messageSource!.chat!,
        text: '👋 Hello there! How can I help you?'
      );
    }
  });

  // Handle QR code for authentication
  client.qr((qrData) {
    print('📱 Scan this QR code with WhatsApp:');
    qrTerminal(qrData, 2, size: 10);
  });

  // Handle connection events
  client.on<Connected>((event) {
    print('🎉 Connected to WhatsApp!');
  });

  // Start the client
  client.connect();
}

💡 Examples

📱 Basic Client Setup

import 'package:neonize/neonize.dart';
import 'dart:io';

void main() {
  // Initialize the WhatsApp client
  final client = NewAClient(
    name: 'my-whatsapp-bot',
    config: Config(
      tempPath: '/tmp',
      databasePath: './neonize.db',
    ),
  );

  // Setup QR code authentication
  client.qr((qrData) {
    print('📱 Scan this QR code with WhatsApp:');
    qrTerminal(qrData, 2, size: 10);
  });

  // Handle successful connection
  client.on<Connected>((event) {
    print('🎉 Successfully connected to WhatsApp!');
  });

  // Start the client
  client.connect();
}

💬 Sending Messages

// Send simple text message
client.sendMessage(
  buildJID('1234567890'), 
  text: 'Hello from Neonize Dart! 🚀'
);

// Send image with caption
final imageFile = File('/path/to/your/image.jpg');
final imageBytes = imageFile.readAsBytesSync();

final imageMessage = client.buildImageMessage(
  imageBytes,
  'Check out this amazing image! 📸',
  'image/jpeg',
  Uint8List(0), // thumbnail (optional)
);

client.sendMessage(
  buildJID('1234567890'),
  message: imageMessage,
);

// Send document file
final document = File('/path/to/document.pdf');
final documentBytes = document.readAsBytesSync();

final documentMessage = client.buildDocumentMessage(
  documentBytes,
  'document.pdf',
  'Here is the document you requested',
  'application/pdf',
);

client.sendMessage(
  buildJID('1234567890'),
  message: documentMessage,
);

🎭 Message Event Handling

// Handle incoming text messages
client.on<Message>((message) {
  final messageText = message.message?.conversation;
  final senderJID = message.info?.messageSource?.sender;
  final chatJID = message.info?.messageSource?.chat;
  
  print('📨 Received from $senderJID: $messageText');
  
  // Auto-reply functionality
  if (messageText?.toLowerCase() == 'hello') {
    client.sendMessage(chatJID, text: 'Hello there! 👋');
  } else if (messageText?.toLowerCase() == 'help') {
    const helpText = '''
🤖 *Bot Commands:*
• hello - Get a greeting
• help - Show this help message
• time - Get current time
• joke - Get a random joke
''';
    client.sendMessage(chatJID, text: helpText);
  }
});

// Handle message receipts (delivery status)
client.on<Receipt>((receipt) {
  print('📧 Message ${receipt.type}: ${receipt.messageIds}');
});

// Handle typing indicators
client.on<ChatPresence>((chatPresence) {
  final chat = chatPresence.messageSource?.chat;
  final participant = chatPresence.messageSource?.sender;
  print('💬 $participant is typing in $chat');
});

👥 Group Management

// Create a new group
final participants = [
  buildJID('1234567890'),
  buildJID('0987654321'),
];

final groupInfo = client.createGroup(
  'My Awesome Group 🚀',
  participants,
);
print('🎉 Group created: ${groupInfo.jid}');

// Get group information
final groupInfo = client.getGroupInfo(...);
print('📋 Group Name: ${groupInfo.groupName}');
print('📝 Description: ${groupInfo.groupDesc}');
print('👥 Participants: ${groupInfo.participants?.length ?? 0}');

// Add participants to group
client.updateGroupParticipants(
  jidGroup,
  [userJid],
  ParticipantAction.add,
);

// Remove participants from group
client.updateGroupParticipants(
  jidGroup,
  [userJid],
  ParticipantAction.remove,
);

// Update group name
client.updateGroupName(
  jidGroup,
  'New Group Name 🎯',
);

// Update group description
client.updateGroupDescription(
  jidGroup,
  'This is our updated group description',
);

🔍 Contact & Profile Management

// Get user profile information
final profile = client.getProfilePicture(
  jidUser,
  true, // get full resolution
);
print('👤 Profile picture URL: ${profile.url}');
print('🆔 Profile ID: ${profile.id}');

// Update your own status
client.setPresence(Presence.available);
print('✅ Status updated to available');

// Get contact information
final isRegistered = client.isOnWhatsApp(['1234567890']);
if (isRegistered.isNotEmpty && isRegistered.first.isIn) {
  print('✅ User is registered on WhatsApp');
  print('📱 JID: ${isRegistered.first.jid}');
} else {
  print('❌ User is not on WhatsApp');
}

// Check if multiple contacts are on WhatsApp
final contacts = ['1234567890', '0987654321', '1122334455'];
final registeredContacts = client.isOnWhatsApp(contacts);
for (final contact in registeredContacts) {

📖 Documentation

Core Classes

• NewAClient - Main WhatsApp client
• Config - Client configuration
• Event Types - Available event types
• Protocol Buffers - Message definitions

Event System

The event system in Neonize Dart is built around strongly-typed events:

// Type-safe event handling
client.on<Message>((msg) => handleMessage(msg));
client.on<Receipt>((receipt) => handleReceipt(receipt));
client.on<Presence>((presence) => handlePresence(presence));

Database Support

Neonize Dart supports multiple database backends:

// SQLite (default)
Config(databasePath: './app.db')

// PostgreSQL
Config(databasePath: 'postgres://user:pass@localhost/dbname')
