WebSocket Bridge for Real-time INCOMING_MESSAGE Handling via WhatsApp

[diarmacpro]

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to share a workaround I built while waiting for official WebSocket support for incoming messages (INCOMING_MESSAGE) on the main project.

Repository: https://github.com/diarmacpro/wib-hiik-gowea-nya-aldinokemal

What it does:

• Acts as a WebSocket bridge
• Receives webhook messages (from WhatsApp via backend)
• Forwards them to connected clients in real time using WebSocket

This allows me to:

• Display incoming messages live on the frontend
• Build chat UIs and dashboards without polling
• Prototype frontend-based bots more easily

Why I made this:
Since native WebSocket support for incoming messages isn't available yet, I needed a way to push message events to the client without reimplementing everything or relying on polling.

While this is just a temporary solution, it works pretty well for live use cases.
Would love feedback or ideas to improve it. And of course, I hope something like this gets integrated natively in the future!

Thanks!
