Existing Solutions

I'm the author of this plugin, which uses the native contact picker UI on Android or iOS for single contact selection from the device's address book.

Description

Capacitor community plugin for picking a single contact from the device's address book.

This capacitor 3 plugin allows users to use the native contact picker UI on Android or iOS for single contact selection. Both platforms will return the same payload structure, where the data exists. This project is a fork of TeamMaestro's plugin made for Capacitor 2.

@calvinckho feel free to add it to https://github.com/riderx/awesome-capacitor in the meantime :)

@riderx Please quit spamming this issue queue. If you think something should be on your list, then update your own list. Do not add a comment to every post asking for people to contribute to your repo.

You were already warned about this before.

@ptmkenny I understand that irritating, I'm sorry it's not my point :/ i didn't thing you will be spammed even on comment of fresh issue... you are not even mentioned.

Lot of people don't know this exists, and try to add theirs repo to capacitor-community for visibility. But this process is a lot slower, awesome-capacitor is a suitable alternative.

I have put a lot of them already and people participate, I just try to make the snowball effect start. Again, I'm sorry but i want to continue sometime to talk about it, when i think that can be a good fit, but not doing like i did before 50 in a row, can we agree on that?

@riderx In GitHub, there is a setting for "Watching" a repo, and if you set that to "All Activity", you will get notifications every time there is a new post or a comment on an existing post in the repo.

The count for this repo shows that 24 people have such notifications enabled.

So every time you add a comment asking someone to add their plugin to your repo, you are sending that comment to 24 people.

I think it's cool that you're making a list and it's a useful resource, but I do not think you should be posting comments asking people to add to the list. If you think something should be added to the list, add it yourself, but don't notify everyone in this repo.

If people want notifications about your awesome list, they can use the Watch feature on your repo-- people who have chosen to watch this repo want notifications about this repo, not yours.

Thanks for the clarification, I have some repo where I watch all activity but only on GitHub not by email so i'm not spammed as you by all comment.

Sorry for the 24 person who have been spammed :/

I can add them myself, but how to tell them they have been added? When I found them here, it's where I should reply, but that will end to the same result ...

Ok wait i will open issue in they own repo then. Simple.

This functionality is also present in the capacitor-community/contacts plugin.

See the docs: https://capacitor-community.github.io/contacts/#/api?id=pickcontact

I hadn't seen your plugin before. Sorry about that. I think it's better for the community to not have multiple maintained separate packages doing the same thing. So we could combine the two (if there's any functionality missing in either of course, I didn't check the full API of yours)

[calvinckho]

My plugin opens the Contact UI and let the user chooses contacts from the UI. I don't think the capacitor-community/contacts supports the contact picker UI.

I think it does actually. It uses the native picker functionality available on both platforms. No custom UI or anything, if that's what you mean
