A Next-Generation WhatsApp Bot Framework Built for Developers

---

Lazy Bot is an enterprise-scale, highly modular WhatsApp bot framework based on Baileys. It brings modern backend development practices—like isolated plugins, automated database migrations, hot-reloading, and a robust CLI—straight to your WhatsApp bot development workflow.

(For detailed development tutorials, please refer to our upcoming official documentation).

✨ Features

• 🧩 Modular Plugin Architecture: Stop writing spaghetti code. Build features in isolated namespaces (e.g., @admin/leveling).
• ⚡ Hot-Reloading System: Save your code and watch it update in real-time. No more restarting the bot during development.
• 🛠️ Developer-First CLI: Generate boilerplate instantly using commands like make:plugin, make:command, or make:migration.
• 🗄️ Isolated Database Migrations: Powered by Knex.js. Each plugin manages its own database tables automatically.
• 🌍 Native i18n Support: Easily support multiple languages for your bot responses and CLI outputs.
• 🛡️ Middleware Layer: Built-in middleware mechanism for spam protection, admin verification, and custom request filtering.
• 📦 Plugin Registry: Download and install community plugins seamlessly via plugin:install.

💻 How to Run & The Integrated CLI

Unlike typical bots, Lazy Bot features an integrated console (CLI)

To start the bot and access the console:

npm start

Once the bot is running and connected, your terminal becomes an interactive command prompt. You can type commands directly into the running terminal:

• help : Show all available commands.
• make:plugin : Scaffolds a new plugin.
• make:command : Creates a new command inside your plugin.
• plugin:install <name> : Installs a plugin from the registry.

📦 Creating a Plugin

During development, plugins are stored in the workspace/ directory.

1. Start the bot (npm start).
2. In the active bot terminal, type:

   make:plugin
   

3. Follow the interactive prompts to generate your plugin.
4. Keep the bot running! Modify your code and save. Your changes will apply instantly via the hot-reloading system.
