We recently added validation for mentions in rich text editor mode of composer in #32879. In an effort to eliminate potential edge cases for non-text nodes, I have restored the input rules and simplified the approach used in the plugin code. This change means that Instead of finding and inserting mention nodes within text while the user is typing, we let the input rules handle the mention node creation part. This allows the plugin code to focus entirely on validating nodes within the document. As part of this change we introduced a new data attribute ("data-valid") which will assume by default that mentions are valid and therefore be "true", but will proceed to invalidate them by changing to false for mentions that were not found. It also means that invalid mentions are retained as mention nodes, whereas previously we would convert them to text. |
