960937 - [Contacts API] mozContacts.remove should be able to take an id only

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: DOM: Contacts, defect, P5)

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw] (PTO -> may 13)]

From Bug 931711 comment 23.

Currently mozContacts.remove needs a mozContact object with an id attribute. Basically, this means that if the user only keeps the contact id, he needs to retrieve the mozContact from the API just to be able to remove it.

Another solution that I don't like is to create an empty mozContact and _then_ manually set the id, which is something I'd like to forbid in bug 951829 by configuring this property as readonly.

Therefore, the best solution is to make the "remove" method accept a contact id as argument.
