Add Contact

This article will guide you through adding contacts on TUIKit.

Display Effect

If you haven't added any contacts beforehand, the loaded contact interface will be empty. After adding contacts, the contacts will be displayed in the interface list, as shown below:
Contact list is empty
Contact list is not empty



Environment Requirements

Xcode 10 or later
iOS 9.0 or later

Preconditions

Before building the interface, please ensure that you have completed the following 4 things:
1. Created an application in the console.
2. Created some user accounts in the console.
3. Integrated TUIKit or TUIContact.
4. Called the login API in TUILogin to log in to the component.
Note:
1. All components use this API to log in. You can log in once every time you start the application.
2. Please make sure that the login is successful, and we recommend that you do the following in the callback of successful login.
If you haven't completed the above 4 steps, please refer to the corresponding steps in Getting Started first, otherwise you may encounter obstacles when implementing the following features.
If you have already completed them, please continue reading below.

Step Instructions

We recommend you operate directly within TUIKit, manually adding contacts as follows:
1. Follow the steps in Building Contact Interface to display the contact interface.
2. Click the + button in the top right corner of the interface, and in the submenu, select Add to Contacts.
3. Enter a valid userID to search for a user. You can obtain a valid userID from the Account Management page in the console. Page path: Applications > Your App > Chat > Users > Account Management.
4. Add user as contact.
The effect is shown below:
Click Add to Contacts
Search user
Send contact request









Usually, after sending a friend request, the recipient will automatically accept. However, if the recipient's account has set up Friend Request Verification, it may behave differently. The configure path is:
Applications > Your App > Chat > Users > Account Management > Choose an account > Edit > Friend Request Verification.
Friend Request Verification values are as follows:
Friend Request Verification Values
Meaning
Accept all friend requests
Default, accept all friend requests
Manually accept or reject friend requests
The requested recipient is required to manually agree or reject the friend request.
Reject all friend requests
Reject all friend requests
