## What it is
Ment.io is an AngularJS directive providing @mentions and macros functionality for text inputs, with a dropdown menu of choices triggered by configurable characters. It has no jQuery dependency and supports multiple trigger characters, templates, API-bound menus, and markup conversion.

## Use cases
- add @mention autocomplete to a text input in AngularJS
- let users tag people from a list while typing in a comment box
- support multiple trigger characters like @ and # in one input
- bind the mention dropdown to a remote API for suggestions
- convert selected mention items into markup in the input value

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy AngularJS app and need mentions or macro triggers in text fields
- you want a lightweight mentions widget without a jQuery dependency

## When to avoid
- you are building with modern Angular (2+), React, or Vue
- you need actively maintained software with ongoing support
- you need rich text editor integration rather than plain inputs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: angularjs, mentions, autocomplete, macros, jquery-free, web-server
