Feature: Include contact names in JSON message export #50

Open ayancey opened 3 months ago

When you run sigtop export-messages, it returns the sender's display name if the format is text or text-short. Because json output returns directly from the database, there's no display name included.

An option like json-names might be nice which joins sourceServiceId from messages table to serviceId in the conversations table.

Thanks!

Good point. Another possibility is to export the json column from the conversations table into a separate conversations.json file. Would that work for you?

That's a good idea. I'll take a whack at a PR, but I know next to nothing about Go. 😅

@ayancey any update on the whack PR? I am not a Go dev either but I am willing to help
