Best way to add a new method

[sreekanthmr]

I would like to add a couple of methods such as get read receipt of a specific message (just an example). What is the best way to achieve that?

Thanks

add a function in Instance Class

[sreekanthmr]

@salman0ansari thanks for your quick response.

I added a routing, a function in the controller, and finally a function in instance.js. But I was stuck midway through that. Of course, it is my ignorance of things are arranged.

I wanted to call fetchMessageReceipts from the instance class but was not able to do that. I was a bit confused about how the functions in baileys are called from instance class.

Thanks

you have to fetch messages array from db

[sreekanthmr]

Is there any existing code I can look at in this repo? just to understand how to do it better.

await Chat.findOne({key: this.key})

[sreekanthmr]

Oh that is really helpful. I just realized I can use getChat() directly and manipulate the results as per my requirements.

Thanks for your direction

Thanks, I'm able to progress well. A small request... I'm able to get the chat object but trying to get an individual message. Pls give some directions to achieve the same.

Thanks
