Request for some filters for Fetching

[natanraj]

Hi
Can we add one small flexibility of passing some few parameters further to filter the Contacts. (Something like DisplayName having some pattern or Ph Numbers have some ISD code etc)

[dbaq]

as usual, I am ok with new features if it does not impact the performances on android. feel free to open a PR.

dbaq, I am sorry about my request description. I am requesting this feature on this plugin. I am not a developer to make these changes on my own on this source code.

Which filter do you need exactly? what is the use case?

[natanraj]

Use case : Currently it fetches all the Contacts with mobile numbers present. If i need to get contacts only having some phonenumbers with isd code (say +1 for US, +44 for UK) or having DisplayName starting with 'natan'.. etc. In short a filter applied on numbers and displayName fields at the SQL Fetch itself, than processed at JS layer.

Thanks

It makes sense, after looking at the code, it should be doable. I was thinking about something like:

navigator.contactsPhoneNumbers.list(function(contacts) {}, function(error) {}, {
    filters: [{
        field: 'displayName',
        type: 'startsWith', //endsWith, contains
        values: ['a', 'b'] // startsWith a OR b
    }, {
        field: 'lastName',
        type: 'contains', //endsWith, startsWith
        values: ['z']
    }, {
        field: 'number',
        type: 'startsWith', //endsWith, contains
        values: ['415']
    }]
});

I have a doubt about the case sensitivity though. What do you think @natanraj?

Looks good. It has to be case insensitive like Cordova plugin.
