react-native-addressbook-ios

This is a React Native Module for accessing an iOS AddressBook

Currently only supports READ access but hope to add full CRUD support

Demo

Make sure you have already installed React Native and then open examples/RCTAddressBook.xcodeproj and click Run

Usage

Before accessing a user's Address Book, you first need to ask for permission

This library currently has three methods

AddressBook.checkPermissions(callbackFunction); - Checks if app has permission to read address book

AddressBook.requestPermissions(callbackFunction); - Requests permission to read from address book

AddressBook.getAllContacts(callbackFunction); - Returns an array of Contact objects

var React = require('react-native');
var AddressBook = require('NativeModules').AddressBook;

//inside your code where you would like to use the address book

AddressBook.checkPermissions((error, permissions) => {
    if(error){
    	// there was an error making this call
    	return;
	}else if(permissions.contacts == AddressBook.Denied){
		// the user has previously denied access to the address book
		return;
	}else if(permissions.contacts == AddressBook.Authorized){
		// the user has previously granted access to the address book
		return;
	}else if(permissions.contacts == AddressBook.Undetermined){
		// the app has never asked for permission
		return;
	}
});

AddressBook.requestPermissions((error, permissions) => {
    if(error){
    	// there was an error making this call
    	return;
	}else if(permissions.contacts == AddressBook.Denied){
		// the user denied access to the address book just now
		return;
	}else if(permissions.contacts == AddressBook.Authorized){
		// the user has granted access to the address book just now
		return;
	}
});

AddressBook.getAllContacts((error, contactList) => {
    if(error){
    	// there was an error making this call
    	return;
	}
	//do something with contact list
});
