How to schedule messages?

Let's create two new schedules like so:

[whatsapp-cli]$ poetry run python3 -m whatsapp-cli create schedule
The name of your schedule: test1
Message: Test message.
Receiving phone number: +## ### ### ####
hh:mm: 22
hh:mm: 18
New schedule created.

[whatsapp-cli]$ poetry run python3 -m whatsapp-cli create schedule
The name of your schedule: test2
Message: Test message.
Receiving phone number: +## ### ### ####
hh:mm: 22
hh:mm: 15
New schedule created.

---

And here, let's create a schedule which is going to be removed soon to see how you can remove schedules.

[whatsapp-cli]$ poetry run python3 -m whatsapp_cli create schedule
The name of your schedule: Gonna be removed
Message: Test message.
Receiving phone number: +## ### ### ####
hh:mm: 23
hh:mm: 50
New schedule created.

---

Here, as you can see, we removed the schedule named "Gonna be removed"

[whatsapp-cli]$ poetry run python3 -m whatsapp_cli remove schedule
Enter the name of the schedule you want to remove: Gonna be removed
Gonna be removed removed.
Enter the name of the schedule you want to remove: ^CAborted!

---

Finally, we currently have two messages, let's schedule them.

[whatsapp-cli]$ poetry run python3 -m whatsapp_cli schedule
# The CLI first picks the earliest one among our schedules and starts a countdown.
Next message will be delivered in 0:00:44
# After the ending of the countdown, it goes on with the next one.
Next message will be delivered in 0:02:50

The delivery of a message means that the CLI is going to open up whatsapp-web on your default browser and deliver your message after 10 seconds.

Build

To build whatsapp-cli, you need to run:

[whatsapp-cli]$ poetry build

Just then you run poetry build, a new directory dist is going to be created. Change your directory to this directory and build whatsapp-cli with the whl file inside dist by running:

[dist]$ pip3 install whatsapp_cli-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

Now that you have built whatsapp-cli, you can run it this way:

$ whatsapp_cli [commands] [options]
