Working with Contacts List
Contacts list is a specific case of KVS record to store and manage user-defined address book entries, allowing users to associate ADAMANT addresses with human-readable names for easier messaging.

Storing Contacts List
The contacts list is stored as a JSON object using the ADAMANT KVS. This object must be encrypted and passed as value
with key
= contact_list
.
The keys of this JSON object are ADAMANT addresses, and the values are objects where aliases are stored in the displayName
property. Example value
object for storing a contacts list:
json
{
"U9821606738809290000": {
"displayName": "John Doe"
},
"U9821606738809290001": {
"displayName": "Jane Doe"
}
}
Additional properties besides displayName
can be added to store various contact details.
