WhatsApp Chat Parser Website

Example application of the npm package whatsapp-chat-parser

This website allows you to upload a WhatsApp chat log and view its contents. You can upload a txt directly or a zip file containing the exported chat.
In case you export a zip file with the option Attach Media, you will be able to see images, videos and audio files directly in the website. Try it out by downloading the example chat!

The app runs locally and no logs are sent or stored anywhere.

The website is available at whatsapp-chat-parser.netlify.app

How to run locally

1. Clone the git repo
2. Install Node.js if you don't have it already
3. Open a terminal in the root of the project and run npm install to install the dependencies (optionally with the --production flag to avoid installing development dependencies)
4. Run npm start to start a development server (while in this mode you can change the code and see the results immediately)
5. Run npm run build to build the compiled bundle that you'll find in the build/ folder

Any local server will do to run the built files.
It's also possible to download them directly from the releases page.
