When you receive a message from someone mid-conversation with someone else, or mid-typing, it gets really confusing. May I suggest simply adding color to new message (and possibly other) statements?

This can be done simply like this (for cyan blue):

console.log('\x1b[36m%s\x1b[0m', 'I am cyan'); //cyan

I follow your steps but I keep getting :

Invalid command - check your syntax
Commands:
message "[user]" [message]
reply [message]

I user message and reply both the same. Although I am getting incoming messages.

Seems to be triggered after a certain amount of time. Maybe a memory leak?

This might not necessary but this operation is work in Facebook Messenger.

I can find myself(my Facebook account name is "Veck Hsiao") and send a message to myself. This seems not work in Messer.

> message "Veck Hsiao" OH!!!
User "Veck Hsiao" could not be found in your friends list!

I am running messer in a facebook chat group with 3 people. It worked fine until a few days ago. Then I started to get this error message when people send a message to the chat group:

I tried to upgrade node.js from 9.3.0 to 9.4.0 and reinstalled messer and deleted the appstate.json file. The facebook user which logs into messer works fine from the browser.

I get random errors related to a bunch of things (network, auth, etc.) from the facebook-chat-api. There should be custom logging set up for these so the stack trace doesn't blow out the terminal window.

Hi!
When I try to run messer, I have the following error.
I installed it via sudo npm install -g messer

Hullo, I installed NVM and updated Node to 4.2.2 because I saw a warning when I was installing that Messer expected it. Now I get this error when trying to message.

Hi there.
I would like to create a script that automatically sends a message without me having to run messer first. Is it already possible to do this in the current version of messer? I was thinking of something like: messer message "reciever" Hello World! or similar. This command should then open messer, send the message and then close messer again.

Greetings Apop

Summary

Add a threads command that lists threads I can interact with.

Original Issue

contacts command should aggregate Facebook friends and message thread participants

I have a friend who doesn't use facebook anymore but keeps in touch with others on messenger. This person's name doesn't show up when i use the contacts command.

Need to mark the message as 'seen' somehow (maybe on type?)

Messer is not working right now due to an error in one of its dependencies - facebook-chat-api. The issue has been fixed here, but we have to wait for the new package module to be pushed to npm for Messer to be able to use it (see this issue)

Might be time to move to ES6. Happy to do it if consensus is reached :)

After installing messer, I can't run the command "messer", I get the following error :

"env: node\r: No such file or directory"

I'm on OSX, am I the first to get this ? :/

Hi,
I have decided to have some kind of messenger on my iPad on 6.1.3
I have there node 0.6.14 and npm 1.1.12
I know that this is like stone age or something but is there an possiblity for Messer there?

When using the history command I get something like this...

> h "Anthony" 5

I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the facebook-chat-api dependency – I'm gonna leave an issue over there and see if they know what's up

Is there a way to invoke messer in a non-interactive mode? For example, I'd like to use it with Alfred app and call it like this:

messer m "Bob" hi

Our codebase is a single file! Let's modularize it. Open for discussion

Hello!

Everything working well but today i updated to 0.2.2, and connected well! But i get this error message everytime on every command :

$>

In fact, when a command is valide, messer show me this error.
Only the contact command works.

I think this is related to this issue : here.

Best regards :)

node v9.4.0
npm v5.6.0

Latest version of node (v6.9.1) allows for a completer option in REPL. Would be nice to autocomplete commands (and possibly friends for messaging) in the future. I've started working on this in my fork, just depends on whether there's a consensus on upgrading versions.

I find myself wanting to see who I've most recently got a message from a lot.

Facebook chat API has a method getThreadList which will make implementation easy.

It should also tell me if the message is read or not

hi,
i've just installed messer globally via npm but when i try to launch it it crashes with this error:

[Wed19:Oct:16 11:13:49] phra@kali ~ $ messer
/usr/bin/env: ‘node\r’: No such file or directory

It would be nice if we could send images in chat by typing a path to an image file. It's possible with facebook-chat-api:

   let msg = {
        body: "",
        attachment: fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/image.jpg')
    }
    api.sendMessage(msg, yourID);

data for contacts command is not representative of the user's actual friends. Names that appear upon calling this command may not be friends of the user; this is misleading.

The main reason this exists is to reduce calls to the API when sending messages (m "Elon Musk" suh dude). There should be 2 sources of "names" - a friends array and an activeThreadNames (or similar) array.

Other people's usernames are displayed as undefined

I am not sure why this happened

Just installed, first attempt to message.

Love the idea, let me know if I can help! Draw you a nice picture or something..

I would love for this to be capable of automatically responding to incoming messages.

It would be nice to support facebook's 2 factor authentification.

It currently results to this:

info login Logging in...
ERR! login Couldn't login. Facebook might have blocked this account. Please login with a browser or enable the option 'forceLogin' and try again.

For better UX, some colors should be incorporated in the REPL log. At a minimum, there should be different colors per chat for easier scanning. Perhaps also the ability to set color per chat, or even get the 'real' color (as it was set in the app or the website) if available.

Does this app support Facebook's 2FA?

I'm seeing the following:

$ messer config.json
info Logging in...
ERR! Error in login: login-approval
{ error: 'login-approval', continue: [Function: continue] }

When i received a "wave" from a new friend, he following error was presented.

[TypeError: Cannot read property 'fullName' of undefined]

I've gotten it before from thumbs up, I believe.

Is there any proxy setting to set up? I'm behind corporate firewall and I can't log in.

Summary

Add a command that will provide an "overview" of your Messenger state. Thinking default to top 5 chats, and show the 5 most recent messages of each chat.

I think we could simply extend the recent command, and add a --history option.

Motivation

Tedious to achieve the same thing with the current mechanisms

Original issue

Please add history of chats function. This client lacks it badly. I very much love the client. Hope you'll add history soon

Let's get a dank logo

When I got message send from others and it shows error message such like

TypeError: Cannot read property 'fullName' of undefined
    at getThreadById.then (/Users/aries/.nvm/versions/node/v9.8.0/lib/node_modules/messer/src/event-handlers.js:53:27)

Is there a way to add insert to a DB in this code

It's about time for some code review! @mjkaufer @2016rshah @anyone else

I've put at least a little bit of thought as to better architecture for the project going forward but would definitely like some more opinions. Especially towards:

• whether functions in the helpers file should be part of the Messer prototypes (I'm starting to think yes)
• caching data structures (I'm sure there are more efficient ways)
• Messer instance - should everything be a prototype, better abstractions. etc.

And test! The best way I've found is just to keep it running for a day and find little edge-cases.

It would be awesome if you guys could spare an hour or so to have a gloss. I haven't fleshed out docs/comments so if you've got any questions just comment here 🎉

Hey, when I try to use messer (clean install), it appears that I am unable to use/create a config.json file.

I just installed it with npm install -g messer and then ran messer and got this error

SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0
    at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
    at ReadFileContext.fs.readFile [as callback] (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/messer/src/helpers.js:50:39)
    at FSReqWrap.readFileAfterOpen [as oncomplete] (fs.js:420:13)

and when I checked in the code, it appeared that it was unable to create a config.json file.

I don't know if it's an error on my part or the code has a problem.

Btw, I'm using node 8.9.2 and npm 5.6.0.

Thanks!

I installed messer with sudo npm install -g messer

I logged in, using 2fa, and typed contacts.

This gave me the error:
