Support multiple find contact inside a Loop about cordova-plugin-contacts

[Elyft]

thank you for your snippet, but i'm not sure that it can fit yo my need let me show you my code

module.exports = (...arrayToSearch)=>{
    return new Promise((resolve)=>{
        function getNameWithNumber(value){
            return new Promise((resolve)=>{
                function onSuccess(contacts) {
                    console.log(value)
                    resolve(contacts);
                };

                function onError(contactError) {
                    console.log(contactError)
                };

                const options = new ContactFindOptions();
                options.filter = value.address;
                options.multiple = true;
                options.hasPhoneNumber = true;
                const fields = ["*"];
                navigator.contacts.find(fields, onSuccess, onError, options);
                
            });
        }

        function getAllNames(...arrayToSearch){
          return Promise.all(arrayToSearch.map(getNameWithNumber)).then((value)=>{
           console.log(value)
          });
        }
        getAllNames(...arrayToSearch);
    });
};

Where arrayToSearch is an array of numbers to search

@Elyft it is because the process is asynchronous. i tried the same with for loop and failed. instead of for loop i looped it back to original function onsuccess with a global counter in the original main loop function. This gave complete result.

Hope this answers your query.

@acedigibits i don't really understand what you say. can you please give me a little snippet?thank you

var main_counter=0, global_data;
function main_loop(){
if(main_counter<5){
contact.find(,onsuccess, onerror);
}else{
//your complete data
}
}
function onsuccess(){
main_counter++;
//global_data merge
main_loop();
}

`module.exports = (...arrayToSearch)=>{
return new Promise((resolve)=>{
let main_counter=0, contacts_merge=[];
function getNameWithNumber(value){
return new Promise((resolve)=>{
function onSuccess(contacts) {
console.log(value);
if(main_counter>=5)
resolve(contacts);
else{
main_counter++;
contacts_merge.push(contacts);
main_loop();
}
};

            function onError(contactError) {
                console.log(contactError)
            };
			
			function main_loop(){
				const options = new ContactFindOptions();
            options.filter = value.address;
            options.multiple = true;
            options.hasPhoneNumber = true;
            const fields = ["*"];
            navigator.contacts.find(fields, onSuccess, onError, options);
			}

            main_loop();
            
        });
    }

    function getAllNames(...arrayToSearch){
      return Promise.all(arrayToSearch.map(getNameWithNumber)).then((value)=>{
       console.log(value)
      });
    }
    getAllNames(...arrayToSearch);
});

};`
