Config items:

Array of {title, image?, url?, id?}

[mydearxym]

is there still a plan to support mentions feature?

[zsoflin]

Yes, is this still planned? Unfortunately, mentions are necessary in order for me to switch from Quill :)

[SammyVimes]

Can you share the designs of mentions plugin? I want to implement it (I need it for my pet project and I'd be happy to share implementation with community)

[neSpecc]

@SammyVimes here is a draft:

Try to use Inline Tools API. If you will need some methods that we does not provide, write us.

[SammyVimes]

@neSpecc I guess mentions tool should listen for every input change (in case of new character is @) unlike other tools. I hope that will not affect performance too much 😃

@SammyVimes Did you end up implemented this?

Let me know if I can help.

[ckissi]

@SammyVimes @Steve1820 I'm curious too. It would be great to have it.

[GuruM]

@SammyVimes @Steve1820 @ckissi yeah I'm going to attempt this now but would love to know if anyone has been able to do it. I saw https://github.com/mydearxym/editor-mention but I couldn't get that working.

@akshayrathodar it would be nice have an starting point. I would be very grateful if you could share your code. Of course, if something interesting comes from there, I would go to the EditorJS community

If I understand this issue properly, the workflow would be:

1. Type the name of the person you want to mention
2. Click on the inline tool
3. The mention is now linked.

I don't find this workflow optimal, and I think we need a new kind of tool to tackle this issue, so I created #1623

This might be the one you're looking for, although, it needs a backend that has a search functionality, should be easy if you already have a backend API running:
