@capacitor-community/contacts

Capacitor community plugin for fetching contacts.

Maintenance Status: Actively Maintained

You can find a working Ionic App using the Byrds' Capacitor Contacts plugin here: https://github.com/byrdsandbytes/capContactsDemo

Setup your project with Capacitor. For details check here: https://capacitorjs.com

cd my-app
npm install --save @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli

Initialize Capacitor

npx cap init

Add the platforms you want to use.

npx cap add android
npx cap add ios
npx cap add electron

Install:

npm i --save @capacitor-community/contacts

# or yarn
yarn add @capacitor-community/contacts

# or pnpm
pnpm add @capacitor-community/contacts

Sync:

npx cap sync

For iOS you need to set a usage description in your info.plist file. (Privacy Setting) Open xCode search for your info.plist file and press the tiny "+". Add the following entry:

Privacy - Contacts Usage Description

Give it a value like:

"We need access to your contacts in order to do something."

For Android you have to add the permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml. Add the following permissions before the closing of the "manifest" tag.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"/>

Next import the capContacts class to your MainActivity

// Initializes the Bridge
this.init(savedInstanceState, new ArrayList<Class<? extends Plugin>>() {{
  // Additional plugins you've installed go here
  // Ex: add(TotallyAwesomePlugin.class);
  add(Contacts.class);
}});

Make sure to import it properly as well.

import ch.byrds.capacitor.contacts.Contacts;

NOTE: On Android you have to ask for permission first, before you can fetch the contacts. Use the getPermissions() method before you try to fetch contacts using getContacts().

You have the following Methods available:

export interface ContactsPlugin {
  getPermissions(): Promise<PermissionStatus>;
  getContacts(): Promise<{contacts: Contact[]}>;
  saveContact(contact: NewContact): Promise<void>;
}

If you're considering to use this plugin you most likely want to retrieve contacts a users contacts:

Import the Plugin in your TS file:

import { Contacts } from '@capacitor-community/contacts'

Next use it and console log the result:

Contacts.getContacts().then(result => {
    console.log(result);
    for (const contact of result.contacts) {
        console.log(contact);
    }
});

That's it. Do Whatever you want with the retrieved contacts.

If you're trying to build something like "contacts matching" based on phone numbers, recommends using google libphonenumber based library awesome-phonenumber.

In order to match them properly you need to format them before you can match or store them properly.

export interface PermissionStatus {
  granted: boolean;
}

export interface Contact {
  contactId: string;
  displayName?: string;
  phoneNumbers: PhoneNumber[];
  emails: EmailAddress[];
  photoThumbnail?: string;
  organizationName?: string;
  organizationRole?: string;
  birthday?: string;
}

export interface PhoneNumber {
  label?: string;
  number?: string;
}

export interface EmailAddress {
  label?: string;
  address?: string;
}
