# Contact Picker

This controller uses the Contacts Picker API\
to let users select one or more contacts directly from their device’s native address book.\
It emits events for availability, contact selection, and errors.

**Usage**

```twig
<div {{ stimulus_controller('@pwa/contact') }}>
  <button data-action="@pwa/contact#select">Select contact</button>
  <pre id="contacts-output">No contacts selected yet.</pre>
</div>

<script type="module">
  const el = document.querySelector('[data-controller="pwa__contacts"]');
  const out = document.getElementById('contacts-output');

  el.addEventListener('contacts:unavailable', () => {
    out.textContent = 'The Contacts Picker API is not available on this device.';
  });

  el.addEventListener('contacts:selection', (e) => {
    const { contacts } = e.detail;
    out.textContent = JSON.stringify(contacts, null, 2);
  });

  el.addEventListener('contacts:error', (e) => {
    out.textContent = `Error: ${e.detail.exception.message}`;
  });
</script>
