hbook - an address book query tool for Mutt

Features

• Will take a search query & vcard file and return a mutt alias.
• Results are sorted by the fuzzy search filter.

Installation

Use stack:

• stack init
• stack install

Usage

hbook-exe -q %search-query% -m %min-search-score% -f %vcard-filename%

• search-query - your search parameter
• min-search-score - a value between 0 (lowest match) & 5 (highest match)
• vcard-filename - location of your vcf file

Example usage with mutt

In your muttrc file:

set query_command = "hbook-exe -q '%s' -m 3 -f contacts.vcf"

Then when you hit ctrl-t when entering an address, it should pop you up with a list.

Caveats

• Originally written to learn some haskell and play around with megaparsec & hspec. Constructive criticism is welcome.
• Not currently a complete vcard implementation.
• Willing to make tweaks if it doesnt work for you
