The data for the autocomplete is loaded from a route which will load data based on predefined key-value pairs of an alias and a model in the config. Installation ------------ [](#installation) First, pull in the package through Composer. ``` "require": { "unicodeveloper/laravel-mentions": "1.1.*" } ``` And then include these service providers within `config/app.php`. ``` 'providers' => [ Unicodeveloper\Mention\MentionServiceProvider::class, Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class, ]; ``` If you need to modify the configuration or the views, you can run: ``` php artisan vendor:publish ``` The package views will now be located in the `app/resources/views/vendor/mentions/` directory and the configuration will be located at `config/mentions.php`. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) To make it possible for At.js to load data we need to define key-value pairs that consist of an alias and a corresponding model. ``` return [ 'users' => 'App\User', // responds to /api/mentions/users 'friends' => 'App\Friend', // responds to /api/mentions/friends 'clients' => 'App\Client', // responds to /api/mentions/clients 'supports' => 'App\Supporter', // responds to /api/mentions/supports ]; ``` So now with these `aliases` configured we could create a new textfield which will send a request to the `users` route and search for matching data in the `name` column. ``` {!! mention()->asText('recipient', old('recipient'), 'users', 'name') !!} ``` You can also add a class name for styling of the text and textareas, that's the last argument. In this example, it is `user-form` ``` {!! mention()->asText('recipient', old('recipient'), 'users', 'name', 'user-form') !!} ``` Example ------- [](#example) ``` Laravel PHP Framework @include('mentions::assets') {!! mention()->asText('recipient', old('recipient'), 'users', 'name') !!} {!! mention()->asTextArea('message', old('message'), 'users', 'name') !!} ``` Install ------- [](#install) Via Composer ``` $ composer require unicodeveloper/laravel-mentions ``` Change log ---------- [](#change-log) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
