Q: All the media types

[suntong]

In https://github.com/Chatie/wechaty/blob/master/example/media-file-bot.ts, there lists some media types:

  // if ( m.type() === MsgType.IMAGE
  //   || m.type() === MsgType.EMOTICON
  //   || m.type() === MsgType.VIDEO
  //   || m.type() === MsgType.VOICE
  //   || m.type() === MsgType.MICROVIDEO
  //   || m.type() === MsgType.APP
  //   || (m.type() === MsgType.TEXT && m.typeSub() === MsgType.LOCATION)  // LOCATION

This seems not the complete list of all the media types, e.g., the url-shared-as-a-message is not listed there.

Where can I find the complete list of all the media types (and their explanations for e.g., EMOTICON)? Thx.

EMOTICON, do you mean emotion?

If it is, this type is MsgType.TEXT

Also, besides MsgTyps, there is AppMsgType, as follows

export enum AppMsgType {
  TEXT                     = 1,
  IMG                      = 2,
  AUDIO                    = 3,
  VIDEO                    = 4,
  URL                      = 5,
  ATTACH                   = 6,
  OPEN                     = 7,
  EMOJI                    = 8,
  VOICE_REMIND             = 9,
  SCAN_GOOD                = 10,
  GOOD                     = 13,
  EMOTION                  = 15,
  CARD_TICKET              = 16,
  REALTIME_SHARE_LOCATION  = 17,
  TRANSFERS                = 2e3,
  RED_ENVELOPES            = 2001,
  READER_TYPE              = 100001,
}

thanks a lot @lijiarui!

Oh,

besides MsgTyps, there is AppMsgType

So what's difference between

MsgType.TEXT and AppMsgType.TEXT, and all else that are the same between them, e.g., IMG, VIDEO, etc?

[lijiarui]

well, I don't know, maybe @zixia knows...

Short answer: AppMsgType is a sub-type of MsgType.APP

Long version: they are inherited from the web-wechat source code, which is designed by Tencent.
