Reading from the Contact List using JavaScript
Not so long ago, accessing native features and data from the phone using JavaScript was unimaginable. Now, there are many standard APIs that allow it—and in really simple ways.
Here's an example: a quick demo I put together for an article about the Contact Picker API. Request a contact, let the user pick one, then process and display the information. All in 15 lines of JavaScript!
This feature could be interesting in apps that need contact information like phone numbers or VoIP, social networks where we want to discover known people, or apps that require filling in form information without swapping applications to view the data.
See how it was coded on this article: https://alvaromontoro.com/blog/68058/...
