go to <your_project>/node_modules/native-reactive-contacts/ and drag the native-reactive-contacts directory to your workspace or project file tree.

on iOS10 and onward, you must add an NSContactsUsageDescription key to your Info.plist. This provides the user some information as to why you wish to access private Contacts information.

```xml
<key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key>
<string>your message to the user advising of your apps contacts usage intent</string>
```

Install for android development

Usage

Be sure to import NativeModules like so:

import { NativeModules } from 'react-native';

Expose this library to your component codebase:

var NativeReactiveContacts = NativeModules.NativeReactiveContacts;

Request for Contacts access:

NativeReactiveContacts.requestForContactsAccess((error, access) => {
	if (error) {
		console.log("error requesting access:" + error);
	} else {
		console.log("contacts access  " + JSON.stringify(access));
   }
});

CRUD Operations

CREATE a new contact:

	 let newContact = {
	 		"firstName": "James",
	 		"lastName": "Bond",
	 		"phone": "9495728219",
	 		"email": "[email protected]"
	}

NativeReactiveContacts.createContact(newContact, (resp) => {
	console.log("new contact created:" + JSON.stringify(resp));
});
/*
// your console should display the following:
new contact created: {"firstName":"James","lastName":"Bond","phone":"9495728219","email":"[email protected]"}
*/

READ all contacts from device:

NativeReactiveContacts.fetchAllContacts((obj) => {
	console.log("all contacts fetched" + JSON.stringify(obj)); // parse the object for use in your app!
});
/*
// example of Anna Haro from the default device contacts on iOS:
[{"familyName":"Haro","nickname":"Annie","organizationName":"","departmentName":"","imageDataAvailable":0,"namePrefix":"","nameSuffix":"","socialProfiles":[],"phoneNumbers":[null],"identifier":"0021C776-7782-4195-9D1D-7E0C3138A323","urlAddresses":[],"postalAddresses":null,"middleName":"","jobTitle":"","note":"","phoneticMiddleName":"","phoneticGivenName":"","phoneticFamilyName":"","emailAddresses":[{"label":"home","value":"[email protected]","identifier":"0732F1F5-35C3-44E7-AC7B-3515FDC50FA0"}]
*/

UPDATE a contact:

let updateInfo = {
	"givenName": "Joe",
	"familyName": "Jackson"
}

NativeReactiveContacts.updateContactById("349E0749-874E-4993-8AE0-FAE839DF2E34", updateInfo, (contactId, contactInfo) => {
	console.log("async response" + contactId + "info" + JSON.stringify(contactInfo));
});

DELETE an existing contact:

NativeReactiveContacts.deleteContact("678D06E9-1D7C-44F7-949D-CE1FC8068CB9",(response) => {
    console.log("contact deletion response: " + JSON.stringify(response));
});
