Overview

React Mention is an autocomplete-like component for tagging or selecting a user or group from a suggestion list. The component opens a suggestion list when a user starts typing with the ‘@’ character, just like on popular social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and more. It supports several out-of-the-box features: data binding, grouping, UI customization, accessibility, and more.
