Hey smart people... anyone built an @mention feature in an Aware text box... like in Slack, Facebook, IG, and tons of other apps?
You type @ and keep typing a user's name, you get a dropdown list of autocomplete suggestions based on it. And preferably there can be some formatting for the entered text (like the classic blue "link text"). Ideally we would like to have this @ then be able to insert the ID or the RegularUser record in a ref attribute on the record, so we can have a rule to send them an email notification.
Have found jquery library like this: https://podio.github.io/jquery-mentions-input/ (no idea how to use that)
Anyone done this? Got any hints? Or would anyone like to do this?
