#=================Tutorial================
I wrote a tutorial on how to use ngCordova Contacts plugin to create, find, and delete contacts. You will also find a working example.

You can use these functions:
$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
$scope.contacts = {}; // We will use it to load contacts
$scope.contact = { // We will use it to save a contact
"displayName": "Gajotres",
"name": {
"givenName" : "Dragan",
"familyName" : "Gaic",
"formatted" : "Dragan Gaic"
},
"nickname": 'Gajotres',
"phoneNumbers": [
{
"value": "+385959052082",
"type": "mobile"
},
{
"value": "+385914600731",
"type": "phone"
}
],
"emails": [
{
"value": "dragan.gaic@gmail.com",
"type": "home"
}
],
"addresses": [
{
"type": "home",
"formatted": "Some Address",
"streetAddress": "Some Address",
"locality":"Zagreb",
"region":"Zagreb",
"postalCode":"10000",

}
],

}
$scope.addContact = function() {
$cordovaContacts.save($scope.contact).then(function(result) {
console.log('Contact Saved!');
}, function(err) {
console.log('An error has occured while saving contact data!');
});
};
// This function can take some time so be patient
$scope.getAllContacts = function() {
$cordovaContacts.find({filter : 'Robert', fields: [ 'displayName']}).then(function(allContacts) { //omitting parameter to .find() causes all contacts to be returned
$scope.contacts = allContacts;
console.log(JSON.stringify(allContacts));
});
};
$scope.removeContact = function() {
$scope.removeContact = {}; // We will use it to save a contact
$scope.removeContact.displayName = 'Gajotres'; // Contact Display Name
$cordovaContacts.remove($scope.removeContact).then(function(result) {
console.log('Contact Deleted!');
console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
}, function(error) {
console.log('An error has occured while deleting contact data!');
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
});
}
});
Also don’t forget to wrap everything into Ionic ready event.
