Replace text with link in contenteditable
I'm trying to implement an identification system like on facebook in my Angular 6 application. When a user write a comment(in a contenteditable div), he can press '@' key and then the name of the person he want to identify.
here is the html part:
<div contenteditable="true" (keyup)="onInputKeyUp($event)" id="commentInput"></div>
<div class="suggestion-list">
<a *ngFor="let user of userSuggestions" (click)="selectUserSugg(user)">
<div class="user-item">
<div class="author-img">
<img [src]="user.thumb" alt="author" title="author" />
</div>
<div class="author-name">{{user.firtName}} {{user.lastName}}</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
Here is the angular part:
selectUserSugg(user: any){
console.log(user);
}
For now I'm able to read the name after the '@' key and send the request to find the users that match.
Here is an example:
When user click on "John Lennon" I would like to replace "@John" by <a href="/profile/johnlennon">John Lennon</a>
How to manage this ?

You have to bind a variable to "innerHTML", so that when selectUserSugg(user) function is called, it will append your desired output in "comments" variable.
<div contenteditable="true" (keyup)="onInputKeyUp($event)" id="commentInput" [innerHTML]="comments"></div>
The variable "comments" should be defined in your .ts file.[innerHTML] will allow template to render HTML code from your variable.
This will solve your problem of having comment section with "content" and "link to user" both.
And for replacing "@John" by link, you can parse "comments" variable and use regex.
