Save Contact to Phonebook Utils for Nativescript 8 (core JS) (Android or IOS)

readme.md

Dependency

You need Utils, isAndroid, isIOS from @nativescript/core. This util does not require contact permissions, because the way this util works is only sending data to the default contact app.

Usage

Import

import { saveToPhoneBook } from "~/util_phonebook";

Example

import { saveToPhoneBook } from "~/util_phonebook";

let contact = {
    name: "Kang Cahya",
    phoneNumber: "628123456789",
    email: "[email protected]",
    address: "123 Main St, Indonesia",
    company: "ABC Company",
    jobTitle: "Software Engineer",
    notes: "This is a sample note.",
    website: "https://kang-cahya.com",
  };
saveToPhoneBook(contact);
