fetch all Contact Phone Numbers in Array swift - swift

Question

i fetched all contacts information exactly like below . At the moment i just fetched a Phone Number from contact . the question is how i can fetch all of Phone Numbers of a contact in String array to use it?
Store Data :
class ContactStruct : NSObject {
let identifier : String
let thumbnailImageData : UIImage?
let givenName : String
let familyName : String
let phoneNumbers : String
let emailAddresses : String
init(identi:String,img:UIImage?,name:String,family:String,phone:String,email:String) {
self.identifier = identi
self.thumbnailImageData = img
self.givenName = name
self.familyName = family
self.phoneNumbers = phone
self.emailAddresses = email
}
fetch method :
class func generateModelArray() -> [ContactStruct]{
let contactStore = CNContactStore()
var contactsData = [ContactStruct]()
let key = [CNContactGivenNameKey,CNContactFamilyNameKey,CNContactImageDataKey,CNContactThumbnailImageDataKey,CNContactPhoneNumbersKey,CNContactEmailAddressesKey,CNLabelPhoneNumberMobile] as [CNKeyDescriptor]
let request = CNContactFetchRequest(keysToFetch: key)
try? contactStore.enumerateContacts(with: request, usingBlock: { (contact, stoppingPointer) in
let givenName = contact.givenName
let familyName = contact.familyName
let emailAddress = contact.emailAddresses.first?.value ?? ""
let phoneNumber = contact.phoneNumbers.first?.value.stringValue ?? ""
let identifier = contact.identifier
var image : UIImage?
if contact.thumbnailImageData != nil{
image = UIImage(data: contact.thumbnailImageData!)!
}
contactsData.append(ContactStruct(identi: identifier, img: image, name: givenName, family: familyName, phone: phoneNumber, email: emailAddress as String))
})
return contactsData
}

Answer 1

you can use this
func extractNumber(data: [ContactStruct]) ->[String]
{
var arrNumbers = [String]()
for number in data
{
arrNumbers.append(number.phoneNumber)
}
return arrNumbers
}
and use like this:
let arrayNumbers = extractNumber(data: contactsData)
dump(arrayNumbers) //<- this line prints on console

Well first of all your phoneNumbers and emailAddresses variables should be an array of String and not String since you can have multiple of those.
More over i would make them a Dictionary like so [String:String] - more on that later.
class ContactStruct: NSObject {
let identifier: String
let thumbnailImageData: UIImage?
let givenName: String
let familyName: String
let phoneNumbers: [String:String] // <----- the new dictionaries
let emailAddresses: [String:String] // <--
init(identifier: String, img: UIImage?, name: String, family: String, phones: [String:String], emails: [String:String]) {
self.identifier = identifier
self.thumbnailImageData = img
self.givenName = name
self.familyName = family
self.phoneNumbers = phones
self.emailAddresses = emails
}
Secondly, when it comes to fetching phone numbers and emails you need to loop through them because they arrive of Type [CNLabeledValue<CNPhoneNumber>] which is an Array of phoneNumbers encased in CNLabledValue, which means that they have a value (phone number) and label which in this instance is type of phone number (i.e home, mobile, fax, esc.. more on that here - from Apple
Documentation.)
This is also why I would use a Dictionary [String:String] so you can keep them in a key-value relationship where the key will be phone type and the value is the phone number.
["mobile": "[phone]"] for example.
If I were you I would build a simple function to iterate through them and return your Dictionary ready, for example:
private func getPhoneNumbersFromContact(_ contact: CNContact) -> [String:String] {
var numbers: [String:String] = [:]
var i = 1
for number in contact.phoneNumbers {
if number.label != nil {
numbers[number.label!] = number.value.stringValue
} else {
numbers["unknown #\(i)"] = number.value.stringValue
i += 1
}
}
return numbers
}
You can always add your own flavour and style to it.
I would leave the job of writing the getEmailAddressesFromContact function for you :)
So your final generateModelArray Class might look something like this -
class func generateModelArray() -> [ContactStruct]{
let contactStore = CNContactStore()
var contactsData = [ContactStruct]()
let key = [CNContactGivenNameKey,CNContactFamilyNameKey,CNContactImageDataKey,CNContactThumbnailImageDataKey,CNContactPhoneNumbersKey,CNContactEmailAddressesKey,CNLabelPhoneNumberMobile] as [CNKeyDescriptor]
let request = CNContactFetchRequest(keysToFetch: key)
try? contactStore.enumerateContacts(with: request, usingBlock: { (contact, stoppingPointer) in
let givenName = contact.givenName
let familyName = contact.familyName
let emailAddress = getEmailAddressesFromContact(contact) // <--- only changes
let phoneNumber = getPhoneNumbersFromContact(contact) // <--- are here
let identifier = contact.identifier
var image : UIImage?
if contact.thumbnailImageData != nil{
image = UIImage(data: contact.thumbnailImageData!)!
}
contactsData.append(ContactStruct(identifier: identifier, img: image, name: givenName, family: familyName, phone: phoneNumber, email: emailAddress))
})
return contactsData
}
