javascript - Getting contacts from ContactsApp Service for autocomplete using GAS -

how code getcontacts() using apps script if i'll have use jquery autocomplete "multiple", fetch emails(email not phone or other details).

it should return in such way if person has 2 email ids saved under single name, has added returning json array.

example if person.a has pera1@gmail.com , pera1@yahoo.com list has be

var emails = [       "person.a" <pera1@gmail.com>,       "person.a" <pera1@yahoo.com>, ...     ]; 

javascript

emails = google.script.run.getcontacts();  $( function() {     var availabletags = emails;     function split( val ) {       return val.split( /,\s*/ );     }     function extractlast( term ) {       return split( term ).pop();     }      $( "#recipients" )       // don't navigate away field on tab when selecting item       .on( "keydown", function( event ) {         if ( event.keycode === $.ui.keycode.tab &&             $( ).autocomplete( "instance" ).menu.active ) {           event.preventdefault();         }       })       .autocomplete({         minlength: 0,         source: function( request, response ) {           // delegate autocomplete, extract last term           response( $.ui.autocomplete.filter(             availabletags, extractlast( request.term ) ) );         },         focus: function() {           // prevent value inserted on focus           return false;         },         select: function( event, ui ) {           var terms = split( this.value );           // remove current input           terms.pop();           // add selected item           terms.push( ui.item.value );           // add placeholder comma-and-space @ end           terms.push( "" );           this.value = terms.join( ", " );           return false;         }       });   } ); 

assuming array of email addresses rfc compliant, can pick them apart. example:

addressbook = [   "'homer simpson' hsimpson@fox.net",   "'homer simpson' h.j.simpson@snpp.com",   "'marge simpson' msimpson@fox.net",   "'bart simpson' bsimpson@fox.net",   "'bart simpson' i.c.weiner@fox.net",   "'lisa simpson' hsimpson@fox.net",   "'maggie simpson' maggie.simpson@fox.net" ]; 

typing h should return 2 results:

'homer simpson' hsimpson@fox.net 'homer simpson' hsimpson@theplant.com 

the basics of like:

source: function(request, response) {   // delegate autocomplete, extract last term   response($.ui.autocomplete.filter(   addressbook, extractlast(request.term))); } 

i add little control , ensure format specific.

working example: https://jsfiddle.net/twisty/hvldp11j/3/

html

<div class="ui-widget">   <div class="ui-widget-header ui-corner-top center">     select recipients   </div>   <div class="ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom">     <input type="text" id="emails" />   </div> </div> 

javascript

// base code: http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#multiple // data example mimic https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/contacts/contacts-app#getcontacts var addressbook = [   "'homer simpson' hsimpson@fox.net",   "'homer simpson' h.j.simpson@snpp.com",   "'marge simpson' msimpson@fox.net",   "'bart simpson' bsimpson@fox.net",   "'bart simpson' i.c.weiner@fox.net",   "'lisa simpson' hsimpson@fox.net",   "'maggie simpson' maggie.simpson@fox.net" ];  $(function() {   function split(val) {     return val.split(/,\s*/);   }    function extractlast(term) {     return split(term).pop();   }    function findname(contact) {     var name;     var regex = /.(.+). .*/g;     name = regex.exec(contact);     return name[1];   }    function findnameemail(contact) {     var tmp, name, email;     var regex = /.(.+). (.*)/g;     tmp = regex.exec(contact);     name = tmp[1];     email = tmp[2];     return name + " <" + email + ">";   }    $("#emails")     // don't navigate away field on tab when selecting item     .on("keydown", function(event) {       if (event.keycode === $.ui.keycode.tab &&         $(this).autocomplete("instance").menu.active) {         event.preventdefault();       }     })     .autocomplete({       minlength: 0,       source: function(request, response) {         var names = [];         $.each(addressbook, function(k, v) {           names.push(findnameemail(v));         });         // delegate autocomplete, extract last term         response($.ui.autocomplete.filter(           names, extractlast(request.term)));       },       focus: function() {         // prevent value inserted on focus         return false;       },       select: function(event, ui) {         var terms = split(this.value);         // remove current input         terms.pop();         // add selected item         terms.push(ui.item.value);         // add placeholder comma-and-space @ end         terms.push("");         this.value = terms.join(", ");         return false;       }     }); }); 

i started trying find name , using label. saw not discern right contact. switched grabbing name , email use.

if need, update post more complete example of data being returned google, , should easy update.
