Docs

For props and events, see: https://tunayagci.github.io/vue-mentionable/#/docs

1. Mode Identifiers

• A mode is simply which suggestion component is being displayed.
• You have to register your modes to mentionable-textarea.
• A simple example follows:

{
  mode: 0, // a unique id
  key: '@', // the actual identifier
  comp: MentionableUser // suggestion component
}

• An enhanced example: https://github.com/TunaYagci/vue-mentionable/blob/master/src/components/MentionModes.js

import MentionableIncident from "./MentionableIncident.vue";
import MentionableUser from "./MentionableUser.vue";

const MODE_USER = 0;
const MODE_INCIDENT = 1;

const userMention = {
    mode: MODE_USER,
    key: '@',
    comp: MentionableUser,
    valueKey: 'name'
};

const incidentMention = {
    mode: MODE_INCIDENT,
    key: '#',
    comp: MentionableIncident,
    valueKey: 'serial'
};

export {userMention, incidentMention, MODE_INCIDENT, MODE_USER};

2. Listening mention events

• Mention events are triggered whenever user inputs while any mode is active.
• You are expected to update your suggestions in this lifecycle.

Here is an example:

<mentionable-textarea onMention="onMention" />

onMention(event) {
    this.currentMode = event.mode;
    this.searchParam = event.searchParam;
    if (this.currentMode === MODE_INCIDENT) {
        this.searchTvSeries();
    }
}

• event is of type {mode: <number>, searchParam: <string>}
• mode is a number which is described a little above.
• In above code you can see I'm not updating user suggestion component. This is because user suggestion component is reactive and it is watching this.searchParam.
• Fetching tv series in this case is not reactive since I need to make an http call.

Note: you should most likely use debounce for user inputs. See here for example
