ngx-vcard

Almost fully RFC compliant vCard Formatter, that also can download the generated vCard. Outputs VCard version 4. Maybe other version will be supported.

If you want to have another Property, please open up an issue or even better provide a PR. ;)

Installation

1. Install from npm

   $ npm install ngx-vcard --save

2. Import in app.module.ts:

   import { NgxVcardModule } from "ngx-vcard";
   
   @NgModule({
     imports: [NgxVcardModule],
   })
   export class AppModule {}

How to use

Use as Directive

/* example.component.ts */
import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { VCard } from "ngx-vcard";

@Component({
  selector: "app-root",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
  styleUrls: ["./app.component.css"],
})
export class AppComponent {
  public vCard: VCard = {
    name: {
      firstNames: "John",
      lastNames: "Doe",
    },
  };
  public generateVCardOnTheFly = (): VCard => {
    // TODO: Generate the VCard before Download
    return {
      name: { firstNames: "John", lastNames: "Doe", addtionalNames: "Auto" },
    };
  };
}

<!-- example.component.html -->
<div>
  <!-- Normal -->
  <button id="downloadButtonNormal" [vcdDownloadVCard]="vCard">Download VCard!</button>
  <!-- Generate VCard only on Click -->
  <button id="downloadButtonFunction" vcdDownloadVCard [generateVCardFunction]="generateVCardOnTheFly">Download generated VCard!</button>
</div>

Use as Formatter

/* example.component.ts */
import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { VCardFormatter, VCard } from "ngx-vcard";

@Component({
  selector: "app-root",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
  styleUrls: ["./app.component.css"],
})
export class AppComponent {
  public vCard: VCard = {
    name: {
      firstNames: "John",
      lastNames: "Doe",
    },
  };

  public vCardString = VCardFormatter.getVCardAsString(this.vCard);

  public ngOnInit() {
    console.log(this.vCardString);
  }
}

<!-- example.component.html -->
<p>VCard String:</p>
<p>{{vCardString}}</p>
