Easy-vcard

Create vcards and format to strings to export in .vcf or .vcard files. This is an implementation of the version 4.0 vcard in Typescript according to RFC6350. This is an early version an many vcard fields or properties might not be supported. Check below for what's included.

Installation

npm install --save @covve/easy-vcard

Usage

Examples are written with Typescript in mind but you should be able to use it in nodejs projects as well. Below we construct a simple vcard and export it.

  let vcard = new VCard();
  vcard.setFullName('Johnny D. Doe-Smith')
    .addFirstName('John')
    .addLastName('Doe')
    .addLastName('Smith')
    .addPrefixName('Dr.')
    .addNickname('Jonny')
    .addPhone('+1 1221112', { pref: '1', type: 'home' })
    .addEmail('jdoe@jdoecomp.co')
    .addTitle('Senior Engineer')
    .addOrganization('Jdoecomp co.', ['North Division']);

  let formatter = new Formatter();
  let formattedText = formatter.format(vcard);
  \\ This should output the following
  \\ "BEGIN:VCARD
  \\  VERSION:4.0
  \\  FN:Johnny D. Doe-Smith
  \\  N:Doe,Smith;John;;Dr.;
  \\  NICKNAME:Jonny
  \\  TEL;PREF=1;TYPE=home:+1 1221112
  \\  EMAIL:jdoe@jdoecomp.co
  \\  TITLE:Senior Engineer
  \\  ORG:Jdoecomp co.;North Division
  \\  END:VCARD
  \\
  \\ which you can save to a filesystem as .vcf or encode it in a barcode or whatever

VCard methods

Note: IParams refers to a javascript object containing parameters used in certain vCard properties. Some methods support this, some don't. Refer to the RFC aforementioned or source/examples of this project for more details.

setFullName(fullName: string)

Set the FN property of the vcard. This is mandatory and unique. If it doesn't exist, one will be created from name components from the N property.


addFirstName(firstName: string): VCard

addMiddleName(middleName: string): VCard

addLastName(lastName: string): VCard

addPrefixName(pre: string): VCard

addSuffixName(suf: string): VCard

Add a first name, middle name, last name, honorific prefix or honorific suffix respectively in the N property. The N property is unique if it exists.


addNickname(nickname: string, params?: IParams): VCard

Add a nickname to a NICKNAME property.


addPhoto(data: string, params?: IParams): VCard

Add a photo to a PHOTO property. data can be either a link to a site where the photo is hosted or a base64 data representation.


addAddress(street: string, locality: string, region: string, postCode: string, country: string, params?: IParams): VCard

addOrganization(organization: string, organizationUnits: string[], params?: IParams): VCard

setRevision(rev: string, params?: IParams): VCard

setUID(uid: string, params?: IParams): VCard

Set the user id for this vcard.


toString(forceV3 = false): string

Takes a VCard object as created above and formats it into a string. Note that a forceV3 argument is included, which if true, sets the VERSION property to 3.0 . This doesn't mean that this plugin supports 3.0 vcards or earlier, it's just a workaround to get your simple vcards read by older parsers found in various devices. Care should be taken using this as the card might not be readable by 3.0 or older parsers.

Not yet supported

The following vCard properties are not yet included but might be in the future.

SOURCE, KIND, XML, BDAY, ANNIVERSARY, GENDER, IMPP, LANG, TZ, GEO,
LOGO, MEMBER, RELATED, CATEGORIES, PRODID, SOUND, CLIENTPIDMAP, KEY, FBURL, CALADRURI, CALURI
