Mentions for Drupal 8

Flexible zero-touch @mention support for your drupal site.

Tested against Drupal 8.2.4

Still in alpha but usable.

Based on work of Drupal 7 Mentions module version 7.x-2.x https://drupal.org/project/mentions

Installation

Go to Releases https://github.com/mohankumargupta/mentionsdrupal8module/releases, download zip and extract to modules folder of your Drupal 8 installation (rename to mentions), then enable it through backend(Extend) or drush/drupal console
By default, the following mention formats are supported (for Basic and Full HTML formats):
- @username (mention by username)
- @#1 (mention by user id)
- [@Barney Rubble] (mention by username with spaces)
CKEditor autocomplete functionality is implemented. Please see the video below for a walkthrough. By default, the @username is used. Look for the Mentions toolbar dropdown, use it to change the mention format.

Configuration->Text Formats -> Basic/Full HTML Here you can enable/disable the mentions filter. Also you can selectively enable/disable mention formats
Structure->Mention Types If the inbuilt mention formats are insufficient, create your own types.
