How to get selected messages in the active chat

[Birol2010]

I searched documents but not found the selected messages in activechat object.
I also wonder how to select the messages.

The requested functions don't exist in WAJS, but I added the label for us to add them in the future.

Any update on this issue?

My current solution is by traversing DOM tree,

function getSelectedMessages() {
  let selectedIds = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("[role='row'] [data-id]")).filter(i=>i.querySelector('input:checked')).map(i=>i.dataset["id"])
  const selectedMsgs = WPP.whatsapp.MsgStore._models.filter(i=>selectedIds.includes(i.id._serialized))

  return selectedMsgs
}

// will return selected Messages object, and empty array if no selected message
console.log(getSelectedMessages())

It would be great to have this function baked into the lib.

any better option for this ?
because above metod will not work for 2+ stickers
send 2 or + stickers to someone and select them one by one it is returning 'groupd-seickers--XXXXXX' as id for all stickers

I've converted the original issue, to this discussion thread to keep in right place. If you guys don't need any more info here, let's close it.

But in my 2 cents here, these faced problems are not related directly to wa-js, it's more how to handle DOM manipuilation. So I would close this thread in future.
