vcard-xml - XML VCard parsing and writing

This library should simplify handling VCard XML documents.

This README currently only describes simple usage of this library.

Important Notices

This library requires @xmldom/xmldom as a peer-dependency only in node.js environments! JavaScript browser environments always have a DOM implementation on board, therefore @xmldom/xmldom is not needed there.

Installation

Requires node.js and npm.

npm install vcard-xml

Usage

VCard creation

import { 
  VCard,
  Gender,
  KeyId,

  XMLCompat, 
  getNodeImpl,
  getWebImpl,
} from 'vcard-xml';

// if xmldom interface is available (e.g. on web browsers)
XMLCompat.initialize(getNodeImpl());
// if xmldom interface is NOT available (e.g. on node environments)
// also don't forget to install required peer dependency @xmldom/xmldom
XMLCompat.initialize(getWebImpl());

const vcard = new VCard()
  .addFullName('Alice Smith')
  .addFirstname('Alice')
  .addLastname('Smith')
  .addNamePrefix('Dr.')
  .addNameSuffix('MSc.')
  .addBirthday(new Date(Date.UTC(1990, 2, 3)))
  .addGender(Gender.OTHER)
  .addTelephone('+436641234567')
  .addEmail('info@dec112.at')
  .addStreet('Example Street 3')
  .addCode('1234')
  .addLocality('Brunnenthal')
  .addRegion('Upper Austria')
  .addCountry('Austria');

if (!vcard)
  throw 'Something is wrong with this vcard';

const xmlObj = vcard.toXML();
console.log(vcard.toXMLString(vcard));

VCard parsing

import { 
  VCard,
  Gender,
  KeyId,

  XMLCompat, 
  getNodeImpl,
  getWebImpl,
} from 'vcard-xml';

// if xmldom interface is available (e.g. on web browsers)
XMLCompat.initialize(getNodeImpl());
// if xmldom interface is NOT available (e.g. on node environments)
// also don't forget to install required peer dependency @xmldom/xmldom
XMLCompat.initialize(getWebImpl());

const parsed = VCard.fromXML('<xml...>');

if (!parsed)
  throw 'Something is wrong with this vcard';

console.log(vcard.fullName);
