PhoenixKit.Mentions.Live (phoenix_kit v2.7.0)

Copy Markdown View Source

Everything a LiveView needs to let people WRITE mentions and act on them:

use PhoenixKit.Mentions.Live

That injects the typeahead's search handler and the access-request events. In the template, swap a textarea for <.mention_input> and drop the dialog somewhere:

<.mention_input field={@form[:description]} label="Description" />
<.access_request_dialog request={@pk_access_request} />

Reading mentions needs none of this — <.mention_text> is a plain function component. This module is only for the two INTERACTIVE halves, which is why it is opt-in per LiveView rather than global.

Injected clauses follow the MediaBrowser embed precedent: a host adds one use instead of copying four handlers and getting one subtly wrong. Every one of them degrades rather than crashes — a click with no dialog rendered, or a search with the feature switched off, is a no-op.

Functions

access_request_dialog(assigns)

The "ask for access" dialog. Renders nothing until a redacted mention is clicked.

Deliberately says nothing about WHAT is being requested beyond its kind — the whole point of the redaction is that the reader does not learn the title, and a dialog headed with it would undo that in the one place they are most likely to read.

Attributes

  • request (:any) - Defaults to nil.

mention_input(assigns)

A textarea that offers @ and # as you type.

Identical to a plain textarea in every other way, and identical to one entirely when JavaScript is off — the hook is the only difference, and what it inserts is text the field could have held anyway. That is the whole reason the token format is what it is.
