EditorMentionMenu

GitHub
A mention menu that displays user suggestions when typing the @ character in the editor.

Usage

The EditorMentionMenu component is used to display a menu of user suggestions when typing the @ character in the editor. Mentions are inserted as inline elements that can be styled and linked. It must be used inside an Editor component's default slot to have access to the editor instance.

Type @ followed by a name to search and insert mentions.

<script setup lang="ts">
import type { EditorMentionMenuItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const value = ref(`# Mention Menu

Type @ to mention someone and select from the list of available users.`)

const items: EditorMentionMenuItem[] = [
  {
    label: 'benjamincanac',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4'
    }
  },
  {
    label: 'atinux',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/904724?v=4'
    }
  },
  {
    label: 'danielroe',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/28706372?v=4'
    }
  },
  {
    label: 'pi0',
    avatar: {
      src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5158436?v=4'
    }
  }
]

// SSR-safe function to append menus to body (avoids z-index issues in docs)
const appendToBody = false ? () => document.body : undefined
</script>

<template>
  <UEditor
    v-slot="{ editor }"
    v-model="value"
    content-type="markdown"
    placeholder="Type @ to mention someone..."
    class="w-full min-h-21"
  >
    <UEditorMentionMenu :editor="editor" :items="items" :append-to="appendToBody" />
  </UEditor>
</template>
The menu filters items as you type and supports keyboard navigation (arrow keys, enter to select, escape to close).
Learn more about the Mention extension in the TipTap documentation.

Items

  • label: string
  • avatar?: AvatarProps
  • icon?: string
  • description?: string
  • disabled?: boolean
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { EditorMentionMenuItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

  label: 'benjamincanac',
  description: 'Benjamin Canac',
  avatar: { src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4' }
}, {
  label: 'atinux',

  description: 'General channel',
  icon: 'i-lucide-hash'
}, {
  label: 'engineering',
  description: 'Engineering team',
  icon: 'i-lucide-users'
}]
</script>

<template>
  <UEditor v-slot="{ editor }" v-model="value" placeholder="Type @ to mention..." class="w-full min-h-21">
    <UEditorMentionMenu :editor="editor" :items="mentionItems" />
  </UEditor>
</template>
Use avatars for user mentions and icons for entities like teams, channels, or tags.

Char

</template>
Use # for channels or tags, + for adding team members, etc.

Options

<template>
  <UEditorMentionMenu
    :editor="editor"
    :items="items"
    :options="{
      placement: 'bottom-start',
      offset: 4
