How to implement a Text Area with Mentions very similar to Facebook Comment for react native. Facebook allow user to tag a person(by looking up in server) and will show the name in the text field and user can continue typing.

Is there a plugin already available or do I have to create a plugin and if thats the case which UI component in IOS I have to look ?

Answer 1

You can achieve that with react-native-mention component. I have not tried this component but I believe this will solve your issue.
