I am trying to use this module in the browser I have added it to my page directly using:

<script src="node_modules/vcard-parser/lib/vcard.js"></script>

However this then generates the error:

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: module

It seems this expects to be run in a node environment. Do you have guidance on how to use this module in the browser? Thanks.

The code appears to not be licensed explicitly. As far as I know that means that everyone who wants to use it must ask you for permission first. Is that on purpose?

If not, could you please publish a license for your code?

Long notes entered down a line and result in an extra value.

NOTE;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=44=E1=BA=A1=79=20=E1=BB=9F=20=6E=68=C3=A0=20=6B=E1=BB=9B=70=20=36=2C=
=37=2C=38

Is then result in:

"note": [
    {
        "value": "=44=E1=BA=A1=79=20=E1=BB=9F=20=6E=68=C3=A0=20=6B=E1=BB=9B=70=20=36=2C=",
        "meta": {
            "charset": [
                "UTF-8"
            ],
            "encoding": [
                "QUOTED-PRINTABLE"
            ]
        }
    }
],
"=37=2c=38": [
    {
        "value": ""
    }
]

I don't know if this is a predictable output. My samsung phone export the file with these end line on note field. And I don't see in the spec that it should not contains end line. Or maybe I am using not ascii character. The extra = at the first line is to indicate continuation when decoding quoted-printable string.

Thanks for this great parser/generator!

The returned data looks like this:

"email": [
    {
      "value": "[email protected]",
      "meta": {
        "type": [
          "work,internet,prev"
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "value": "[email protected]",
      "meta": {
        "type": [
          "home,internet"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]

As you can see, the type array has always one element. Is this intended? This is not an issue for me, I can work with that output, but it looks like it is not what you had in mind?

I was not able to use it in Electron (v 1.4.12).

Tip: changing the last line from:

})(typeof window !== 'undefined' ? window : module.exports);

to:

})(module.exports);

worked, but it may affect other languages.

It would be great to have a new version being released containing the latest changes.

The category property has a comma separated value, but it looks like the , is escaped and therefor stored as one group group1\,group2 instead of group1 and group2

Fix by replacing the function with:

        var escapeCharacters = function (v, k) {
            if (typeof v === 'undefined') {
                return '';
            }
            v = v
                .replace(/\n/g, '\\n')
                .replace(/;/g, '\\;');

            if (typeof k === 'undefined' || k !== 'categories') {
                return v
                    .replace(/\n/g, '\\n')
                    .replace(/;/g, '\\;')
                    .replace(/,/g, '\\,');
            }
            return v
                .replace(/\n/g, '\\n')
                .replace(/;/g, '\\;');
        };

And adding the key to the escape method in:

              if (typeof value.value === 'string') {
                    line += escapeCharacters(value.value);
                } else {
                    // complex values
                    line += value.value.map(function (item) {
                        return escapeCharacters(item,);
                    }).join(';');
                }

Not sure if there are more values which are treaten wrong, but I found at least those.
