How to get all contacts of a loggedin user,i added request permission to access google contacts
requestPermissions: {
facebook: ['email', 'user_friends','read_friendlists'],
google:['https://www.google.com/m8/feeds']
},
I don't know how to access contacts,i tried to google it but i'm confused with the results.
Does anyone know how to do this?
can anyone point me to the answer?
I really appreciate any help
I Just used google-contacts
atmosphere package and write the following function in server side and it worked for me
var opts= { email: Meteor.user().services.google.email,
consumerKey: "APIKEY",
consumerSecret: "APPSECRET",
token: Meteor.user().services.google.accessToken,
refreshToken: Meteor.user().services.google.refreshToken};
gcontacts = new GoogleContacts(opts);
gcontacts.refreshAccessToken(opts.refreshToken, function (err, accessToken)
{
if(err)
{
console.log ('gcontact.refreshToken, ', err);
return false;
}
else
{
console.log ('gcontact.access token success!');
gcontacts.token = accessToken;
gcontacts.getContacts(function(err, contact)
{
\\here i am able to access all contacts
console.log(contact);
})
}
});
To do this,you need a refreshToken
from google,by default meteor will not get it for you.
Add the following code in client side to get the refreshtoken
(requestOfflineToken)
Accounts.ui.config({
requestPermissions: {
facebook: ['email', 'user_friends','read_friendlists'],
google:['https://www.google.com/m8/feeds']
},
requestOfflineToken: {
google: true
},
passwordSignupFields: 'USERNAME_AND_EMAIL'
});
NOTE: To work with contacts API you need to enable contacts api in your google console.
Hope it may help someone out there.
