width=\"220px\"\n        /\u003e\n    \u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\nA simple web app for syncing the profile pictures from WhatsApp to Google Contacts.\\\nThe app matches contacts based on their phone numbers, and utilizes\n[whatsapp-web.js](https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js) and [Google People API](https://developers.google.com/people) to update the profile picture in Google Contacts.\n\n## Demo\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3015856/214192748-1681d9be-201a-4ffc-b8da-79857718b7eb.gif\" width=\"600\"/\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## Why Was This Developed?\n\nWhenever someone used to call me or I looked them up in my contacts, they all apear as colorful circles with a single letter in it.\\\nThe annoying part is that every single person I know has a WhatsApp account which has a profile picture. They are both based on the same phone number but the picture is only available in one of them.\\\nIn order to fix this grievence I developed this app which allows anyone to sync their contacts photos from WhatsApp to Google Contacts.\n\n## How To Use\n\nThe app is extremley easy to use (and self explantory):\n\n1. Go to [whasync.com](https://whasync.com/)\n2. Press \"Get Started\"\n3. Scan the QR code with WhatsApp to authorize it\n4. Connect you Google account\n5. Choose you sync options\n6. That's it :)\n\nThe whole process is very simple and automated, so you don't need to worry about anything else.\\\nSetting up should take less then a minute, and syncing should take about 1 second per photo (due to Google's API rate limitiations of 60 requests per user per minute)\n\n## How to Run Locally\n\nIn order for the backend to function, it requires an OAuth client id and secret + an API key.\\\nSince (for obvious reasons) this is a private app, you will need to create one for your own.\\\nYou can see instructions on how to do that [here](https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-credentials).\\\nOnce you do that, create the file `server/.env`, and set the following environment variables:\n\n- `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID`\n- `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET`\n\nYou also need to update the `CLIENT_ID` and `API_KEY` variables in [`web/src/pages/GoogleAuth.vue`](web/src/pages/GoogleAuth.vue).\n\nOnce that's done, you can go ahead and run the app:\n\n```bash\n# Run backend\ncd server\nnpm install\nnpm run dev\n\n# Run web app\ncd web\nnpm install\nnpm run dev\n```\n\n## Build Docker Images\n\nThere are 3 different `Dockerfile`s for this app:\n\n- [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile) - This is an image containing both the backend and the web app\n- [`Dockerfile`](web/Dockerfile) - An image containing only the web app\n- [`Dockerfile`](server/Dockerfile) - An image containing only the backend\n\nIn order to build and run the complete app, you need to run the following commands:\n\n```bash\ndocker build -t whasync .\ndocker run --rm -it -p 80:80 whasync\n```\n\nIn order to build the seperate images for the backend and frontend, execute the following commands from the projects main directory:\n\n```bash\ndocker build -t whasync-backend -f server/Dockerfile .\ndocker build -t whasync-web -f web/Dockerfile .\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fguyzyl%2Fwhatsapp-contact-sync","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fguyzyl%2Fwhatsapp-contact-sync","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fguyzyl%2Fwhatsapp-contact-sync/lists"}
