Settings

Property	Default	Description
source(searchTerm, renderList, mentionChar)	null	Required callback function to handle the search term and connect it to a data source for matches. The data source can be a local source or an AJAX request. The callback should call renderList(matches, searchTerm); with matches of JSON Objects in an array to show the result for the user. The JSON Objects should have id and value but can also have other values to be used in renderItem for custom display.
renderItem(item, searchTerm)	function	A function that gives you control over how matches from source are displayed. You can use this function to highlight the search term or change the design with custom HTML.
allowedChars	[a-zA-Z0-9_]	Allowed characters in search term triggering a search request using regular expressions
minChars	0	Minimum number of characters after the @ symbol triggering a search request
maxChars	31	Maximum number of characters after the @ symbol triggering a search request
offsetTop	2	Additional top offset of the mention container position
offsetLeft	0	Additional left offset of the mention container position
mentionDenotationChars	["@"]	Specifies which characters will cause the mention autocomplete to open
