README

        
A web-based viewer for your local decrypted WhatsApp backup, based on my chat application [nkchat](https://github.com/niklaskorz/nkchat).

Right now, it supports viewing single and group chats, video, audio and pictures, as well as link previews.

## Usage

First, make sure you have a recent version of nodejs (>=14) and npm or yarn installed.

Put your decrypted WhatsApp backup into a `backup/` subdirectory of the current working directory.

The files needed from your backup are `wa.db` and `msgstore.db`. Optionally, you can also put your WhatsApp media files into `backup/Media/`.

Then, run whatsapp-viewer through npx as `npx whatsapp-viewer` or install it globally as `whatsapp-viewer` through `yarn global add whatsapp-viewer`.

If your browser does not open automatically, manually navigate to `http://localhost:3000` to view your backup.

## Development

First, run the development server:

```bash

npm run dev

# or

yarn dev

```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
