You obviously don't want to keep scanning the QR code every time you want to connect.
So, do the following every time you open a new connection:
So, you can save the credentials to log back in via:
``` ts
import * as fs from 'fs'
const conn = new WAConnection()
await conn.connect() // connect first
const creds = conn.base64EncodedAuthInfo () // contains all the keys you need to restore a session
fs.writeFileSync('./auth_info.json', JSON.stringify(creds, null, '\t')) // save JSON to file
// this will be called as soon as the credentials are updated
conn.on ('credentials-updated', () => {

conn.loadAuthInfo ('./auth_info_browser.json')
await conn.connect() // works the same
```
See the browser credentials type in the docs.
**Note**: Upon every successive connection, WA can update part of the stored credentials. Whenever that happens, the `credentials-updated` event is triggered, and you should probably update your saved credentials upon receiving that event. Not doing so *may* lead WA to log you out after a few weeks with a 419 error code.
## QR Callback
If you want to do some custom processing with the QR code used to authenticate, you can register for the following event:
