sending buttons dont work in Whatsapp web js

Question

for some reason it doesn't want to send buttons, I looked it up online but didn't found help, here's my code:

const { Client, LocalAuth ,MessageMedia, Buttons } = require('whatsapp-web.js');

const client = new Client({
    authStrategy: new LocalAuth()
});

client.on('qr', qr => {
    qrcode.generate(qr, {small: true});
});

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log('Client is ready!');
});


client.on('message', message => {
    console.log('message from', message.from)
    if (message.body === "!button") {

        let button = new Buttons('Button body',[{body:'bt1'},{body:'bt2'},{body:'bt3'}],'title','footer');
        client.sendMessage(message.from, button);

    }
});
 
client.initialize();

sendmessage doesnot work with this – Teshatesla

It has stopped working. Apparently, WhatsApp is reserving it for their API. However, when I use list sending or buttons in some clients like (web or iOS), sometimes it arrives but it's not predictable. For now, we need to avoid this. – Fatimahfatimid

-install Git Bash from here.

-open CMD and write: 'npm install git+https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js#fix-buttons-list' in the project directory.

Don't forget call "Buttons" when you are define module. like this:

const { Client, LocalAuth  ,Buttons,List,MessageMedia} = require('whatsapp-web.js');

Answer 3

Buttons are no longer supported in unofficial libraries because Meta has deprecated them for web clients
