Prerequisites

• Node.js
• webpack
• webpack-cli

• @yazanaabed/dommutationobserver

Examples

• Firstly, we need to include this on our module.

const MainModule = angular
  .module('atWhoAppExample', [
    AtWhoModule.name
  ])

• Secondly, we need to add some data to our component or controller, and make sure to update the model using the on-model-changed event send from parent to children. This to prevent the two way data-binding and make sure the changes using events.

class AppController {
  constructor(){
    this.item = {
      subject: '',
      title: ''
    };

    this.smartFields = [{
      code: 'TEST_1',
      name: 'test 1'
    }, {
      code: 'TEST_2',
      name: 'test 2'
    }, {
      code: 'TEST_3',
      name: 'test 3'
    }, {
      code: 'TEST_4',
      name: 'test 4'
    }];
  }

  onSubjectChanged(value) {
    this.item.subject = value;
  }

  onTitleChanged(value) {
    this.item.title = value;
  }
}

• Add our component to our html to start working with it. Here is two examples with multiple options send to the compoent.

<at-who ng-model="AppComponent.item.title"
                class="input-container"
                name="subject"
                character="'@'"
                insert-item="'${name}'"
                search-key="'name'"
                inserted-key="'code'"
                pop-up-item-template="'<li>${name}</li>'"
                data="AppComponent.smartFields"
                on-model-changed="AppComponent.onTitleChanged(value)"
                place-holder="'Message Title'"
                hide-brackets="true"></at-who>

<at-who ng-model="AppComponent.item.subject"
                class="textarea-container"
                is-text-area="true"
                name="subject"
                character="'@'"
                insert-item="'${name}'"
                search-key="'name'"
                inserted-key="'code'"
                pop-up-item-template="'<li>${name}</li>'"
                data="AppComponent.smartFields"
                place-holder="'Message Body'"
                on-model-changed="AppComponent.onSubjectChanged(value)"
                hide-brackets="true"></at-who>
