whatsapp-parser

Parse whatsapp logs. For Android and IOS

var whatsapp = require('whatsapp-parser')
  , parsed = whatsapp.parseFile('./chat_export.txt')
 
parsed.forEach (function(message){
 console.log(message.date, ":", message.name, ":", message.name)
})
 

var whatsapp = require('whatsapp-parser')

whatsapp.parse(text)

Parses the given string and returns an array of objects

[
  { date: '1.4.15 21:59:33',
    msg: 'I like robots. They are sooo cool.',
    name: 'Hans Christian Andersen' },
 //...
]

whatsapp.parseFile(path)

Does the same as

whatsapp.parse(fs.readFileSync(path,'utf8'))

know issues

• The android log does not report seconds or the year
  • It just returns 0. So the date might be '1.4.00 22:0:00'
• Can't parse the "system messages". (like "Johann Wolfgang von Goethe created group “unicorns and rainbows”")
  • they are parsed as messages by a user named "system"
