First, create an input plugin that will be inserted when the trigger is activated:
import { defineBasePlugin } from 'platejs';
const TagInputPlugin = defineBasePlugin('tagInput', {
editOnly: true,
schema: { element: { type: 'tag_input', void: 'inline' } },
});import { defineBasePlugin } from 'platejs';
const TagInputPlugin = defineBasePlugin('tagInput', {
editOnly: true,
schema: { element: { type: 'tag_input', void: 'inline' } },
});Create your main plugin with trigger metadata:
import { defineBasePlugin } from 'platejs';
import type { TriggerComboboxPluginState } from '@platejs/combobox';
export type TagPluginState = TriggerComboboxPluginState;
const initialState: TagPluginState = {
trigger: '#',
triggerPreviousCharPattern: /^\s?$/,
createComboboxInput: () => ({
children: [{ text: '' }],
type: 'tag_input',
}),
};
export const TagPlugin = defineBasePlugin('tag', {
schema.element: Defines the plugin's element model behaviorschema.element.void: 'inline': Makes the tag an inline void and prevents editing inside itinitialState.trigger: Character that triggers the combobox (in this case #)initialState.triggerPreviousCharPattern: RegExp pattern that must match the character before the trigger. /^\s?$/ allows the trigger at the start of a line or after whitespaceinitialState.createComboboxInput: Function that creates the input element node when the trigger is activatedCreate the input element component using InlineCombobox:
