# Messer
Command-line Messaging for Facebook Messenger
Messer is a rich Facebook Messenger client for your terminal. Send and receive messages, view chat historys and more!
## Installation
```bash
$ npm install -g messer
```
## Quick Start
> `node` version 12.x required
1. Install `messer`
2. Run `messer`
```bash
$ messer
```
3. Enter your login details (don't worry, we don't store a thing)
## FAQ
### Do you store any of my data?
**_We don't store your username, password, or any of your interactions on Messer_**.
The only thing we store is a temporary login token when you first log in. This let's us authenticate you with Facebook _without_ you having to enter your username and password every time. If you want to get rid of it, simply run `messer cleanup`, or if you're in a Messer session, run the `logout` command.
### Can I use a deactivated Facebook account?
No, unforunately not. If you use Messer with a deactivated Facebook account, your account will be reactivated.
### How do group chats work?
Messages from group chats appear like
```bash
(My cool friends) John Smith - hey guys!!$$@@
```
Send a message to a group by using the `message` command. The `name` is the name of the group chat! Reply works as normal
## Commands Reference
#### `message`
Sends a _message_ to a given _user_
```bash
(message | m) ""
```
Examples
- `message "Matthew" hello world!`
- `m "Matthew" hello world!`
When sending a message, Messer picks the closest match to what you type in as `user`. For this reason, you should probably use last names if you want to avoid accidentally texting someone.
#### `reply`
Replys to the last message you recevied i.e. Sends a message to the user of the most recently received message.
```bash
(reply | r)
```
Example
- `r "hey yo this is my reply"`
Note: this will only work if you have received at least one message through Messer.
#### `contacts`
Lists all of your Facebook friends
```bash
contacts
```
#### `history`
Displays the last _n_ messages in the conversation with a given user. The number of messages to retrieve are optional (default is 5).
```bash
(history | h) "" []
```
Examples
- `history "Matthew" 10`
- `h "Matthew"`
#### `recent`
Displays the _n_ most recent conversations. The number of threads is optional (default is 5).
The `--history` option will display the 5 most recent messages in each thread.
```bash
recent [] [--history]
```
Examples
- `recent`
- `recent 10`
- `recent --history`
#### `clear`
Clears the number of unread messages in the window title. Since we cannot listen on focus events, it has to be done manually.
```bash
(clear | c)
```
#### `logout`
Logs you out
```bash
logout
```
#### `mute`
Mutes a thread. If no seconds are specified, the thread is muted indefinetely.
```bash
mute "" [seconds]
```
#### `unmute`
Unmutes a thread
```bash
unmute ""
```
#### `settings`
Configure your user settings on Messer
```bash
settings (set | get | list) [=]
```
Examples
- `settings list`
- `settings get SHOW_READ`
- `settings set SHOW_READ=true`
For supported settings, see section below
### Supported Settings
- `SHOW_READ`
- Marks conversation as "read" when using `clear` command
### Lock-on Mode
Locking on to a user or group allows you to send messages without having to specify the `message` command; just type away!
```bash
lock "Tom Q"
```
**To unlock**, simply run:
```bash
--unlock
```
### Secret Mode
When in this mode, any messages sent or recieved in the thread will be deleted for you (note, **they won't be deleted for everyone**).
```bash
lock "Tom Q" --secret
```
### Non-interactive Mode
Messer can be run in non-interactive mode with command line arguments to execute a single command.
```bash
messer --command=''
```
Login will be prompted if this is the first time logging in.
Examples
- `messer --command='m "John Smith" Hey, John'`
- `messer --command='r Hey, John'`
### Cleanup
If ever you want to clean up any old Messer sessions and start from scratch, run:
```bash
$ messer cleanup
```
