Contact Access

AI Prompt

Add native contact access functionality to retrieve users' device contacts including names and phone numbers using the Despia SDK from: https://www.npmjs.com/package/despia-native

First, install the package: npm install despia-native

Then import it: import despia from 'despia-native'

Request contact permission using despia("requestcontactpermission://")
Read contacts using await despia('readcontacts://', ['contacts']) which returns a JSON object with contact names as keys and phone number arrays as values
When accessing the data, use "dot notation" like .contacts to retrieve the contact data in a JSON object format. Here is an example of the structure returned:
```
{
  "John Appleseed": [
    "+12345678910"
  ],
  "Ann Wilson": [
    "+12345678910"
  ]
}
```

This feature requires native capabilities which will be fully provided by the “despia-native” npm package, no additional native libraries are needed!

Please follow the installation instructions for the "despia-native" npm package closely, and do not modify my instructions. Implementation as mentioned is critical.

How it works: The Despia SDK provides native bridge functionality to access device contacts through async method calls. First request permission, then read contacts data which returns as a JSON object with contact names as keys and arrays of phone numbers as values.

Installation

Install the Despia package from NPM:

npm install despia-native

Usage

1. Import the SDK

import despia from 'despia-native';

2. Request Permission and Read Contacts

Access Native Device Contacts and process them:

// Request permission first
await despia("requestcontactpermission://");

// Read contacts data
const contactsData = await despia('readcontacts://', ['contacts']);
console.log(contactsData.contacts); // Access "contacts" variable set as object key, from the "contactsData" const

// Expected output format:
{
  "John Appleseed": [
    "+12345678910"
  ],
  "Ann Wilson": [
    "+12345678910"
  ]
}
