#ContactService.js spec v1 You can assume a contactService variable will be available in the global scope, initialised before your function. It contains the following methods:

• getAll() : returns all 'objects'
• getAllMatches(searchString) : returns all objects that match the searchString
• getFilteredMatches(selectedIds, searchString) : returns all objects that match the searchString, but excludes any in the selectedIds list
• getFilteredMatches(selectedIds) : returns all objects, but excludes any in the selectedIds list.
• getObjectCount(objectType) : returns the number of objects of the given objectType, where objectType is one of "contacts", "smartgroups", or "groups"
• getTypes() : returns a map of objects corresponding to the objects available in the fullContactDatabase. An object has a name, customCssClass and displayName.

The first four methods will return a list of 'grouping' objects.

A grouping object has:

• a displayName, which is displayed to the user as the heading when listing entries of this grouping
• a customCssClass, which should be given as a css class for each of the members when displaying them
• a list of members, each of which are directoryObjects
• an optional 'disabled' entry. If true, the element should be shown in the list, but should not be able for selection

A directoryObject has:

• a name, displayed to the user
• an id, which is a unique identifier of this object, and will form part of the 'getSelectedObjects' response in the javascript library
• a metaData field, which is user-facing information that should be displayed next to the name in the dropdown

Sample request:

contactService.getFilteredMatches("bob", "contact-3", "group-2")

Sample response:

[
    {
        "displayName": "Contacts",
        "customCssClass": "contact",
        "members": [
            {
                "name": "bobby",
                "id": "contact-12",
                "metadata": "+232 728 323 425"
            },
            {
                "name": "robbob",
                "id": "contact-113",
                "metadata": "+44 7832 323 425",
                "disabled" : true
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "displayName": "Groups",
        "customCssClass": "group",
        "members": [
            {
                "name": "bobguys",
                "id": "group-12",
                "metadata": "10 members"
            }
        ]
    }
]

Assumptions:

• Empty groupings will not be returned. For example, if the search string only matches one "contact", there will be no grouping object for "Groups"
