Killer input functionality

[qyloxe]

There is this VUE project:

https://github.com/rohitpaulk/todoist-tribute

and here is demo:

And in this project is one functionality I love. The input control with automatic pill insert after typing ‘@’ or ‘#’. AWESOME!
In this very post editor it is implemented too (for “@” and “:”), but only with text insertion. Here is a screenshot of autocomplete after “@”:

and here is screenshot after pressing “#”:

I would love if it could be possible to add this into quasar input/textarea controls.

Did you look into the chips input component?
It is not exactly what you want, but I guess it should be simple to take the chips input component as template and build the component yourself.
You should be able to use a watcher on the input string, tokenize the string and then transform the keywords you want into chips.

I guess it is a bit hard to build a component that covers all use cases, because how to specify when an input token should be transformed into a tag?

Nevertheless, you can open a feature request issue on Github to let people discuss that idea.

I agree this would be a killer feature. You could build it by combining q-autocomplete and q-chips, but really a dedicated directive or something would be awesome.
If you make it into a github issue/request, I’m sure raz will consider adding it to 0.15
