React-native-contacts: How about just open the address book?

Created on 21 May 2016 · 5Comments · Source: morenoh149/react-native-contacts

I was looking forward to be able to open the address book (supporting API level 18) and select a contact. Seems like it is something that we cannot do with this module right?

We've made something that you described in this library. The library's functionalities are currently very basic but any PR is welcomed:

This is conceivably possible with https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AddressBookUI/Reference/ABPeoplePickerNavigationController_Class/ but currently react-native-contacts does not implement such a feature. PR's welcome!

The point of the module is to get phone contact info into an RN app. What you're describing is like a modal or screen transition. If you think it would make sense to do that please submit a PR.

Cool, but this doesn't return the recordID and that is pretty important.
