Providing a context provider

[matinzd]

I think it can be a good idea to provide a context provider in order to move suggestion rendering out of the container itself. Imagine you are having a comment input and a send button next to it. For example:

[fukemy]

why not use scrollView?

What do you mean?

i think better is keep rendering view inside mentionView better(avoid memories, better handling). And you can wrap the mentionView by scrollView + give maxheight to it.

But for your issues, you can refer to v3 alpha then look how it work

I mean we can move rendering the whole list out of component and have some kind of context to get the render suggestions. I may send a PR for my proposal.

Please double check the v3-alpha, he did all your purpose.

1. No need to use MentionInput directly
2. Keep track to mentions suggest
3. Render mention view in every place you want

Closing the issue as it seems that v3 resolves the issues described here.
