TypeScript
JavaScript
import { Mentions, Form, Button } from 'antd';

const { Option, getMentions } = Mentions;

const App = () => {
  const [form] = Form.useForm();

  const onReset = () => {
    form.resetFields();
  };

  const onFinish = async () => {
    try {
      const values = await form.validateFields();
      console.log('Submit:', values);
    } catch (errInfo) {
      console.log('Error:', errInfo);
    }
  };

  const checkMention = async (_: any, value: string) => {
    const mentions = getMentions(value);

    if (mentions.length < 2) {
      throw new Error('More than one must be selected!');
    }
  };

  return (
    <Form form={form} layout="horizontal" onFinish={onFinish}>
      <Form.Item
        name="coders"
        label="Top coders"
        labelCol={{ span: 6 }}
        wrapperCol={{ span: 16 }}
        rules={[{ validator: checkMention }]}
      >

          <Option value="afc163">afc163</Option>
          <Option value="zombieJ">zombieJ</Option>
          <Option value="yesmeck">yesmeck</Option>
        </Mentions>
      </Form.Item>
      <Form.Item

class AsyncMention extends React.Component {
  constructor() {
    super();

    this.loadGithubUsers = debounce(this.loadGithubUsers, 800);
  }

  state = {
    search: '',
    loading: false,
    users: [],
  };

  onSearch = search => {
    this.setState({ search, loading: !!search, users: [] });
    console.log('Search:', search);
    this.loadGithubUsers(search);
  };

  loadGithubUsers(key) {
    if (!key) {
      this.setState({
        users: [],
      });
      return;
    }

    fetch(`https://api.github.com/search/users?q=${key}`)
      .then(res => res.json())
      .then(({ items = [] }) => {
        const { search } = this.state;
        if (search !== key) return;

        this.setState({
          users: items.slice(0, 10),
          loading: false,
        });
      });
  }

  render() {
    const { users, loading } = this.state;

    return (
      <Mentions style={{ width: '100%' }} loading={loading} onSearch={this.onSearch}>
        {users.map(({ login, avatar_url: avatar }) => (
          <Option key={login} value={login} className="antd-demo-dynamic-option">
            <img src={avatar} alt={login} />
            <span>{login}</span>
          </Option>
        ))}
      </Mentions>
    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<AsyncMention />, mountNode);

Customize Trigger Token

Customize Trigger Token by prefix props. Default to @, Array<string> also supported.

import { Mentions } from 'antd';

const { Option } = Mentions;

const MOCK_DATA = {
  '@': ['afc163', 'zombiej', 'yesmeck'],
  '#': ['1.0', '2.0', '3.0'],
};

class App extends React.Component {
  state = {
    prefix: '@',
  };

  onSearch = (_, prefix) => {
    this.setState({ prefix });
  };

  render() {
    const { prefix } = this.state;

    return (
      <Mentions
        style={{ width: '100%' }}
        placeholder="input @ to mention people, # to mention tag"
        prefix={['@', '#']}
        onSearch={this.onSearch}
      >
        {(MOCK_DATA[prefix] || []).map(value => (
          <Option key={value} value={value}>
            {value}
          </Option>
        ))}
      </Mentions>
    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, mountNode);

const { Option } = Mentions;

ReactDOM.render(
  <Mentions style={{ width: '100%' }} placement="top">
