Bug 63223 – Support for Contacts API

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: Platform

[Donggwan Kim]

There is no Contacts API implementation in WebKit
This API is a new feature that is published by W3C.
The Device APIs Working Group of W3C has just released a Last Call Working Draft of its Contacts API:
    http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-contacts-api-20110616/
So we need to implement it.

I'd like to implement it and I'm implementing it now.

I'm going to commit patch for Contacts API implementation very soon

Thank you

[Sam Weinig]

Please email the webkit-dev mailing list explain why you think this API should be implemented in WebKit as requested at http://www.webkit.org/coding/adding-features.html.

Add new feature for Contacts API

I've implemented new feature for contacts API.
Because of implementing new feature, file size of patch is larger than other patches.
If you feel any inconvenience for reviewing my patch, please let me know.
I'll split it as your recommendation.

Thank you.

Add new feature for Contacts API

This patch is extremely large and there's some question on webkit-dev about whether we want to implement this API in this form.

do you want for me to split patch to smaller patches?
and what should i do for webkit-dev discussion issue?
and do i wait until that discussion is completed?

[Adam Barth]

I think the main next step is to convince the WebKit project that we want to implement this feature.  The discussion on webkit-dev seemed to indicate that folks had some concerns about some structural design questions.

Generally speaking, the APIs from the DAP working group haven't received as much scrutiny from browser vendors as those from the WebApps or the HTML working groups.  That's not to say that WebKit isn't interested in APIs from DAP (for example, we've implemented FileSystem), but you might find that there's some effort required to get folks on board.
