mu4e and google contacts (e.g. goobook)?

[Magnus Therning]

Does anyone have a working setup for getting google contacts into mu4e,
e.g. via using goobook[1]?

I'm unable to hookup goobook with mu4e completion. However, I've small
helm based completion for insert email, name or name <email> in current
buffer using goobook.

Check out my gist at:
https://gist.github.com/shivamkalra/4475a415dabdc89a131a69feaa95a7b6


This requires to have executable script goosearch with following code:

#!/bin/sh
goobook query "$@" | awk -F'\t' '/.+/ {print $1 "\t" $2}' | uniq

thx Shivam this is fantastic!

i still havent been able to get it to show results in helm.
I have goobook installed and working great querying from the command line (im using arch linux)
i created the script >  /home/zeltak/bin/goosearch, made it executable and pasted this in it:

#!/bin/sh
  goobook query "$@" | awk -F'\t' '/.+/ {print $1 "\t" $2}' | uniq

finally added the gist to my init emacs file.

i can launch helm-goobook in emacs but the buffer comes up empty with no contacts when i filter (again i can query from the CLI)

any clue what im missing here?

thx!

Ok ignore the last mail :)

i switched from #!/bin/sh  to #!/bin/bash and it worked ;-)

this is epic ;-)

off topic slightly, can i query other data alongside email with goobook and helm (like phone numbers?)

thx!

I'm glad it is useful for you.

This would require some change to the script. I believe you can use:

goobook dquery <search-term>

to get the phone numbers. May be you would need to convert the response
to JSON and use elisp's JSON library.

You can change `helm-goobook-search` function in the script to include
`phone` attribute as well. Once you have `phone` attribute, you can add
some action in `helm` to do something useful with phone number.
