    • IPCortex.Types.Address

    An Address instance represents one of a PABX user, an address book name/number or an external XMPP user. It tracks "call-ability" and “chat-ability” of each addressbook entity.
    An Address instance is a "super-contact" which hides the relaite complexities of the different contact types from the API user. An Address will be one of:
    • A Contact - which is a PABX user which must have an extension number, and probably has a phone associated. The extension number and the state of the Contact's phone(s) will determine callability.
    • An Xmpp instance - a special type of addressbook entry which represents an external Xmpp user. Incidentally, each internal PABX user will have an Xmpp instance assigned to then to represent their Chat Presence status - This is similarly hidden.
    • A plain Address - will have only a name and a Number, and are collected from various personal addressbooks, company addressbooks and CSV uploads on the PABX.
    • A keevio Address - The same as a plain Address, but has been created via the API, so may be edited via the API.
    All Address types should be queryable for callability, chatability, presence state and BLF state, and will return an appropriate value regardless of the underlying contact type.
    Due to the system load involved in collecting sending and aggregating these Address objects, they are enabled separately with IPCortex.PBX.getAddressbook()

    Methods

    address.dial(device, [callback]) ⇒ Promise

    Kind: class method of IPCortex.Types.Address
    Dial the number on this Address using Device of device. See the Device.dial() documentation for further detail or more advanced dial options.
    Parameter Type Description
    device Device Device to dial on.
    Equivalent to device.dial(address, callback)

    address.chat(callback) ⇒ Promise

    Kind: class method of IPCortex.Types.Address
    Returns: Promise
    Open a chat room with the address.
    Equivalent to using IPCortex.PBX.chatInvite(address, callback)

    address.edit(fields, callback)

    Object fields

    • Change or add a photo
    • Delete a photo
    Kind: class method of IPCortex.Types.Address
    Modify the address.

    Remove the address entry. This only applies to non-system entries.

    address.compare(Address)

    Kind: class method of IPCortex.Types.Address
    Compare two address entries.

    address.sortFn(address) ⇒ Number(-1 | 0 | +1)

    Kind: class method of IPCortex.Types.Address
    Returns: -1, 0, +1 suitable for sort algorithms.
    a.sortFn(b) returns values suitable for use in the JavaScript sort() method.
    Parameter Type Description
    address Address Address object to compare this to.

    address.xmppReq()

    Kind: class method of IPCortex.Types.Address
    Request a chat relationship with the address.
