# draft-js-typeahead

[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url]

Typeaheads for [Draft.js](https://github.com/facebook/draft-js) inspired by Facebook.com.

![example](example.gif)

[Check out an example of mentions in draft using draft-js-typeahead here. 🎉](http://dooly-ai.github.io/draft-js-typeahead/)

This package provides a higher-order component that wraps draft's `Editor` component and augments it with typeahead superpowers. One popular use for draft-js-typeahead is to add mentions to your editors.

-

draft-js-typeahead helps in three ways:
- It figures out *if* and *where* the typeahead should be showing.
- It keeps track of the typeahead's highlighted item.
- It triggers a callback when an item is selected (by hitting return).

## Installation

```sh
$ npm install --save draft-js-typeahead
```

## Examples

[Examples are available under the `examples/` directory.](examples/)

## Usage

First we'll need to import `TypeaheadEditor`:

```javascript
import { TypeaheadEditor } from 'draft-js-typeahead';
```

`TypeaheadEditor` is a react component that wraps draft's `Editor`.

-

It supports all of the same properties as the latter, as well as a few others:

`onTypeaheadChange => (typeaheadState)`:

This method is called when the typeahead's *visibility*, *position*, or *text* changes. `typeaheadState` is an object with `left`, `top`, `text`, and `selectedIndex` properties. A typical callback sets `typeaheadState` on its own state and uses it to render an overlay in its component's `render` method. This method is also called when the typeahead is hidden by passing `null` to `typeaheadState`.

`handleTypeaheadReturn => (text, selectedIndex, selection)`:

This method is called when an item in the typeahead is selected (by hitting return). A typical callback autocompletes the editor with the selected item and tags it with a draft entity.

*Note:* By default draft-js-typeahead does not filter items in the typeahead based on the entered text, [see the mentions example for one approach to filtering](/examples/mentions).
