Wechaty Puppet Providers Trends

Do you want know which Wechaty Puppet Provider is most used by our Wechaty developers?

Wechaty Puppet Provider (WPP)

Different IM systems need different Wechaty Puppets, and they have different names, and all implementing the Wechaty Puppet API; we call them the Wechaty Puppet Provider. For example, the WPP who is supporting WeChat is named wechaty-puppet-wechat, supporting Whatsapp is named wechaty-puppet-whatsapp, and supporting Lark is named wechaty-puppet-lark. And our community are also building the Wechaty Puppet Service (Providers) for any RPA protocol.

The Trends

We are very interested in how many users choose which WPP. Luckily, an open-source project named NPM Trends is an NPM package comparison app hosted at npmtrends.com written by John Potter.

So we can get to know how many users are using which WPP in the past:
