Supports generic fields in a Contact object. Some properties stored as ContactField objects include email addresses, phone numbers, and URLs.
type: A string that indicates what type of field this is, home for example. (DOMString)
value: The value of the field, such as a phone number or email address. (DOMString)
pref: Set to true if this ContactField contains the user's preferred value. (boolean)
The ContactField object is a reusable component that represents contact fields generically. Each ContactField object contains a value, type, and pref property. A Contact object stores several properties in ContactField[] arrays, such as phone numbers and email addresses.
In most instances, there are no pre-determined values for a ContactField object‘s type attribute. For example, a phone number can specify type values of home, work, mobile, iPhone, or any other value that is supported by a particular device platform’s contact database. However, for the Contact photos field, the type field indicates the format of the returned image: url when the value attribute contains a URL to the photo image, or base64 when the value contains a base64-encoded image string.
