Have you ever wondered how to make you Ionic app access the list of contacts of your device?

This blog post walks you through the steps of creating an Ionic app that can do that. Also, if you prefer watching video guides, you can follow this YouTube tutorial to create such an app:

Getting Started with Your Ionic App

First, we need to create a brand-new Ionic app. For this tutorial, we’re using the Appery.io platform, which makes the development process straightforward and efficient.

1. Create a New App:

Open Appery.io and click Create new app.

Name your app and confirm. This action creates a blank Ionic app with a predefined screen layout named Contacts.

2. Adding the Contacts Page:

Add this Contacts page layout to your app and adjust the routing to make sure it points correctly to this page.

Reviewing & Testing Your App

Your app is now ready to display contacts. This page will show names, phone numbers, and pictures of contacts. Let’s click TEST to quickly preview the app.

You can also preview what the app looks like and how it functions by using the Appery.io Tester, a native app for testing. It’s user-friendly and works perfectly!

How It Works Behind the Scenes

Now, let’s go deeper into the technical step-by-step process to understand how everything works:

Cordova Plugins:

Under the Project > App settings > Cordova plugins tab, you’ll see that the app uses the Cordova Contacts plugin, which has been automatically imported. This plugin helps fetch the contacts.

Ionic Contacts Wrapper

We utilize the Ionic Contacts wrapper for better integration. You can check its detailed documentation page if you wish to dive deeper into this.

Setting Up Variables

Open the Contacts page’s CODE tab to see the variables that were added automatically:

– `contacts`: Returns the contact list.

– `keyword`: Enables filtering.

– `SAMPLE_AVATAR`: Displays a sample picture. You can upload your custom one by using the Media Manager, if needed.

– `SAMPLE_CONTACTS`: Provides a sample list for testing in the browser.

Displaying Contacts List in the App

Now, let’s scroll to the Functions section to see how the contacts list is added in our code.

If the app runs in a browser, it uses the sample contacts from the variable above. But if the app is run on a real device, it accesses the actual contacts list via the predefined `contacts` variable.

Creating a User-Friendly UI

Here’s how to make the contacts list visually appealing and easy to navigate:

List Component:

Uses ListItem with the *ngFor attribute to iterate through the contact list and display each contact’s information.

Filtering Contacts:

The *ngModel keyword in the Search component allows users to filter contacts by name.

Using Selections:

The app lets users select contacts easily. Selected contacts have the selected property set to true.

Conclusion

And that’s how to get access to the list of contacts in an Ionic app! This straightforward guide aimed to simplify the technical aspects and provide a clear path for even beginners. Now you can easily fetch and display contacts in your Ionic apps.

Happy coding!

Introduction to WebSockets with Appery.io

Have you ever wondered how apps send updates in real-time? The magic happens with WebSockets. Today, we’ll show you how to add WebSockets to your apps using Appery.io. This low-code app-building platform makes it easy to create complex apps quickly. Note that this post supports our comprehensive video tutorial and if you are interested in details, you are welcome to watch it.

By following the steps below, you can easily enhance your app with real-time communication features using WebSockets and Appery.io. Exciting, right? Let’s get started!

Setting Up Your App

First, create an empty app in Appery.io. Then, go to the Catalog of Appery.io plugins and select the WebSocket Example plugin.

Before importing it, you can click the link to open its documentation page. You’ll see it contains the code for the WebSocket server. This server needs to be run somewhere. While real applications may use Amazon or Azure, we’ll use CodeSandbox for testing.

Using CodeSandbox

1. Create a new Devbox.

2. Select Node.js Server from the list of backend frameworks.

3. Name your Devbox and set its visibility to “Public”.

4. Install two npm modules: `express` and `socket.io`.

Now, let’s move to the next step.

Setting Up Your WebSocket Server

Copy the server code from the documentation page and paste it into your `index.js` file in CodeSandbox. If everything is correct, the server should start successfully.

Back to Appery.io

Return to the Appery.io project and click Import selected plugins with the WebSocket Example plugin checked. This plugin helps you integrate WebSockets into your app. But first, let’s test it.

Testing Your App

Go to the Project > Routing section and set “WebSocketScreen” as the default page.

Next, navigate to TypeScript > WebSocket and specify the URL of your WebSocket server obtained from CodeSandbox.

Now, run your app in different browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Enter a test message and click the “Send” button.

Ready! The message should be delivered to all clients in real-time.

Conclusion

Now you’ve seen how to add Websockets to your apps using Appery.io. This post is a companion piece to our detailed video tutorial. The demo app isn’t a finished product but provides a solid template for building your own real-time communication features. Give it a try and unlock powerful networking capabilities in your applications!
