Autocomplete Triggers
Adding Custom Autocomplete Triggers
Introduction
The StreamMessageInput widget provides a way to add custom autocomplete triggers using the StreamMessageInput.customAutocompleteTriggers
property.
By default we provide autocomplete triggers for mentions and commands, but it’s very easy to add your custom ones.
Add Emoji Autocomplete Trigger
To add a custom emoji autocomplete trigger, you must first create an AutoCompleteOptions
widget.
This widget will be used to show the autocomplete options.
For this example we’re using two external dependencies:
Now it’s time to use the StreamEmojiAutocompleteOptions
widget.
StreamMessageInput(
customAutocompleteTriggers: [
StreamAutocompleteTrigger(
trigger: ':',
minimumRequiredCharacters: 2,
optionsViewBuilder: (
context,
autocompleteQuery,
messageEditingController,
) {
final query = autocompleteQuery.query;
return StreamEmojiAutocompleteOptions(
query: query,
onEmojiSelected: (emoji) {
// accepting the autocomplete option.
StreamAutocomplete.of(context).acceptAutocompleteOption(
emoji.char,
keepTrigger: false,
);
},
);
},
),
],
),
