| # triggerTemplate | ||
|
|
||
| ### Description | ||
|
|
||
| @short: Optional. Customizes how RichText renders items in the suggestion dropdown opened by a [`triggers`](api/config/triggers.md) entry | ||
|
|
||
| By default, the dropdown shows each item's `label` as plain text. Use `triggerTemplate` to render richer rows — for example, an avatar plus a name and an email. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Usage | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~jsx {} | ||
| function triggerTemplate({ data, trigger }) { | ||
| return "HTML template of the suggestion item"; | ||
| }; | ||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| ### Parameters | ||
|
|
||
| The callback function takes an object with the following parameters: | ||
|
|
||
| - `data` - the current suggestion item (`{ id, label, url }`, plus any custom fields you add to the trigger's `data` source) | ||
| - `trigger` - the trigger character that opened the dropdown (`"@"`, `"#"`, etc.) | ||
|
|
||
| :::tip | ||
| The dropdown default width is `160px`. If you need more space for your template, add the `.wx-editor` parent in front of the selector: | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~css {} | ||
| .wx-editor .wx-suggest-anchor { | ||
| width: 220px; | ||
| } | ||
| ~~~ | ||
| ::: | ||
|
|
||
| ### Example | ||
|
|
||
| The following code snippet configures two triggers: `@` for mentions and `#` for tags. Use `triggerTemplate` to expand the `trigger` value to render each dropdown differently. For the `@` dropdown the template returns a custom HTML row with an avatar (`data.image`), a nickname (`data.label`), and a full name (`data.name`). For the `#` trigger the template use the `label`: | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~jsx {5-6,8-15} | ||
| const { template, Richtext } = richtext; | ||
|
|
||
| new Richtext("#root", { | ||
| triggers: [ | ||
| { trigger: "@", data: people }, | ||
| { trigger: "#", data: tags } | ||
| ], | ||
| triggerTemplate: template(obj => { | ||
| if (obj.trigger === "@") { | ||
| return `<div class="user"> | ||
| <img class="user-avatar" src="${obj.data.image}"> | ||
| <div class="user-nickname">${obj.data.label}</div> | ||
| <div class="user-name">${obj.data.name}</div> | ||
| </div>`; | ||
| } | ||
| // other triggers (for example, "#") use the plain label | ||
| return obj.data.label; | ||
| }) | ||
| }); | ||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| **Change log:** The property was added in v2.1 | ||
|

| # triggers | ||
|
|
||
| ### Description | ||
|
|
||
| @short: Optional. Defines dropdown triggers for inserting mentions, tags, and other tokens | ||
|
|
||
| When a user types a configured character (for example, `@` or `#`), RichText opens a dropdown with predefined items. When the user selects an item, RichText inserts it into the document as a non-editable token (`<a data-token="..." data-token-id="...">`). | ||
|
|
||
| ### Usage | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~jsx {} | ||
| triggers?: Array<{ | ||
| trigger: string, | ||
| data: Array<{ id?: string; label?: string; url?: string }> | ||
| | ((query: string) => | ||
| Array<{ id?: string; label?: string; url?: string }> | ||
| | Promise<Array<{ id?: string; label?: string; url?: string }>>), | ||
| showTrigger?: boolean, | ||
| action?: (item) => void | ||
| }>; | ||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| ### Parameters | ||
|
|
||
| Each entry of the `triggers` array accepts the following fields: | ||
|
|
||
| - `trigger` - (required) the character that opens the suggestion dropdown (for example, `"@"`, `"#"`, `"/"`, `"$"`) | ||
| - `data` - (required) the data source for the dropdown; can be an array, a sync function, or an async function. See [Data source forms](#data-source-forms) | ||
| - `showTrigger` - (optional) when `true` (default), RichText keeps the trigger character in the inserted token (for example, `@Alice`); when `false`, RichText inserts only `label` (for example, `Alice`) | ||
| - `action` - (optional) a custom callback called when a user selects an item. When set, RichText removes the typed trigger text (the trigger character plus the query) and calls `action(item)` **instead of** inserting a token. The callback receives the picked item and can insert any content instead of selected one. The `action` parameter takes priority over `showTrigger`, which has no effect when `action` is set. See [Custom action](#custom-action) | ||
|
|
||
| ### Data source forms | ||
|
|
||
| * **Static array** — RichText filters the array automatically by matching the query against `label` (case-insensitive, `startsWith`): | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~jsx {3-7} | ||
| new richtext.Richtext("#root", { | ||
| triggers: [{ | ||
| trigger: "@", | ||
| data: [ | ||
| { id: "alice", label: "Alice" }, | ||
| { id: "bob", label: "Bob" } | ||
| ] | ||
| }] | ||
| }); | ||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| * **Sync function** — RichText calls your function with the current `query` string; you do the filtering and return the matching array: | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~jsx {3-6} | ||
| new richtext.Richtext("#root", { | ||
| triggers: [{ | ||
| trigger: "#", | ||
| data: query => tags.filter(t => | ||
| t.label.toLowerCase().startsWith(query.toLowerCase()) | ||
| ) | ||
| }] | ||
| }); | ||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| * **Async function** — RichText calls your function with the current `query` string; return a `Promise` that resolves to the matching array. Useful for server-side search: | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~jsx {3-8} | ||
| new richtext.Richtext("#root", { | ||
| triggers: [{ | ||
| trigger: "+", | ||
| data: async query => { | ||
| const res = await fetch(`/api/users?q=${encodeURIComponent(query)}`); | ||
| const users = await res.json(); | ||
| return users.map(u => ({ id: String(u.id), label: u.name, url: u.website })); | ||
| } | ||
| }] | ||
| }); | ||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| ### Suggestion item fields | ||
|
|
||
| Each item in `data` (or each item returned by a function) has the following fields: | ||
|
|
||
| - `id` - (optional) unique identifier saved on the inserted token. If omitted, RichText generates an ID automatically | ||
| - `label` - (optional) the text shown in the dropdown and inserted into the document. Required only for the default rendering; with a custom [`triggerTemplate`](api/config/trigger-template.md) you can render items from other fields (for example, `template(({ data }) => data.id)`) and omit `label` | ||
| - `url` - (optional) URL associated with the item. RichText stores the URL as the inserted token's `href` attribute. `Ctrl+Click` on the token opens the link | ||
|
|
||
| An item may also include any number of custom fields beyond `id`, `label`, and `url` (for example, `code` for an emoji, or `image` and `name` for an avatar). These extra fields are passed through to the [`triggerTemplate`](api/config/trigger-template.md) callback and to the `action` callback. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Rendered token | ||
|
|
||
| When a user selects an item in the dropdown, RichText inserts a non-editable token element into the document: | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~html {} | ||
| <a data-token="@" data-token-id="alice" href="mailto:alice@example.com">@Alice</a> | ||

||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| - `@` (in `data-token="@"`) - the item's `trigger` | ||
| - `alice` (in `data-token-id="alice"`) - the item's `id` | ||
| - `mailto:alice@example.com` (in `href="mailto:alice@example.com"`) - the item's `url` | ||
| - `@Alice` - the combination of `trigger` and `label`; with `showTrigger: false` it would be just `Alice` | ||
|
|
||
| Use the `data-token` and `data-token-id` attributes to target tokens with CSS, for example, to highlight all mentions of a user: | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~css {} | ||
| .wx-editor-content a[data-token="@"][data-token-id="alice"] { | ||
| background: #fb8500; | ||
| color: #fff; | ||
| } | ||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| ### Custom action | ||
|
|
||
| By default, when a user picks an item, RichText inserts the item into the document as a token. Set the `action` parameter to run your code instead: RichText removes the typed trigger string (the trigger character and the query) and calls the `action(item)` callback with the picked item. No token is inserted, so you can decide what to add to the document (or run your custom code). The `action` parameter takes priority over `showTrigger`. When `action` is set, `showTrigger` is ignored. | ||
|
|
||
| #### Add emoji | ||
|
|
||
| A common use case is inserting an emoji from a `:` trigger, where each item contains a custom `code` field. Pair `action` with [`triggerTemplate`](api/config/trigger-template.md) so the dropdown shows the emoji itself instead of just its label: | ||

|
|
||
| ~~~jsx {8,12} | ||
| const { template, Richtext } = richtext; | ||
|
|
||
| const editor = new Richtext("#root", { | ||
| triggers: [ | ||
| { | ||
| trigger: ":", | ||
| data: emoji, // [{ id: "apple", label: "apple", code: "1F34E" }, ...] | ||
| action: item => editor.insertValue(`<span>${emojiFromCode(item.code)} </span>`) | ||
| } | ||
| ], | ||
| // render the emoji itself (not just its label) in the dropdown | ||
| triggerTemplate: template(({ data }) => `${emojiFromCode(data.code)} ${data.label}`) | ||
| }); | ||
|
|
||
| function emojiFromCode(code) { | ||
| return String.fromCodePoint(parseInt(code, 16)); | ||
| } | ||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| #### Group emoji by categories | ||
|
|
||
| When the `data` parameter is a function, you are not limited to the built-in `label` matching. You can run your own filtering and keep category headers in the dropdown. Add header items that include a `label` field and do not include `code`. The `data` function first finds the emoji that match the query, then returns emoji together with the headers of the categories that still have matches: | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~jsx {18-26,31-33,41} | ||
| const { template, Richtext } = richtext; | ||
|
|
||
| // header items carry no `code` field; emoji items include one | ||
| const emoji = [ | ||
| { id: "$smileys", label: "Smileys", category: 1 }, // category | ||
| { id: "grinning", label: "grinning", code: "1F600", category: 1 }, | ||
| { id: "smile", label: "smile", code: "1F604", category: 1 }, | ||
| { id: "$animals", label: "Animals", category: 2 }, // category | ||
| { id: "dog", label: "dog", code: "1F436", category: 2 }, | ||
| { id: "cat", label: "cat", code: "1F431", category: 2 } | ||
| ]; | ||
|
|
||
| const editor = new Richtext("#root", { | ||
| triggers: [ | ||
| { | ||
| trigger: ":", | ||
| data: query => { | ||
| const matched = emoji.filter(item => | ||
| item.code && | ||
| item.label.toLowerCase().startsWith(query.toLowerCase().trim()) | ||
| ); | ||
| const categories = new Set(matched.map(item => item.category)); | ||
| // keep matching emoji plus the headers of categories that still match | ||
| return emoji.filter(item => | ||
| item.code ? matched.includes(item) : categories.has(item.category) | ||
| ); | ||
| }, | ||
| action: item => editor.insertValue(`<span>${emojiFromCode(item.code)} </span>`) | ||
| } | ||
| ], | ||
| // render emoji rows normally and category headers in bold | ||
| triggerTemplate: template(({ data }) => | ||
| data.code ? `${emojiFromCode(data.code)} ${data.label}` : `<b>${data.label}</b>` | ||
| ) | ||
| }); | ||
|
|
||
| function emojiFromCode(code) { | ||
| return String.fromCodePoint(parseInt(code, 16)); | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| // headers have no `code` — ignore picks on them so they are never inserted | ||
| editor.api.intercept("insert-token", ({ data }) => !!data.code); | ||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| #### Add slash-style command menu | ||
|
|
||
| You can use `action` to build a slash-style command menu (like `/` in Notion or Slack). Store a command name in each item's `id`, its options in a custom `config` field, and let the callback run it with [`api.exec`](api/internal/exec.md): | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~jsx {13} | ||
| // each item stores an api.exec action name in `id` and its parameters in `config` | ||
| const commands = [ | ||
| { id: "set-text-style", label: "Heading 1", config: { tag: "h1" } }, | ||
| { id: "insert-list", label: "Bulleted list", config: { type: "bulleted" } }, | ||
| { id: "insert-line", label: "Divider" } // no config → `|| {}` applies | ||
| ]; | ||
|
|
||
| const editor = new richtext.Richtext("#root", { | ||
| triggers: [ | ||
| { | ||
| trigger: "/", | ||
| data: commands, | ||
| action: item => editor.api.exec(item.id, item.config || {}) | ||
| } | ||
| ] | ||
| }); | ||
| ~~~ | ||
|
|
||
| ### Example | ||
|
|
||
| The following example sets up two triggers: `@` for mentions (each item carries a `url` that becomes the token's `href`) and `#` for tags (label only): | ||
|
|
||
| ~~~jsx {4,11} | ||
| new richtext.Richtext("#root", { | ||
| triggers: [ | ||
| { | ||
| trigger: "@", | ||
| data: [ | ||
| { id: "alice", label: "Alice", url: "mailto:alice@example.com" }, | ||
