    alias: void 0,
    /*
         should be a plain object *Array* or a *URL*
         would save *Array* directly.
         would load and save remote JSON data by *URL*
     */
    data: null,
    /*
         DEFAULT_TPL = "<li data-value='${name}'>${name}</li>";
         would eval it and assign value of the key contained by `${}`
         key-value ( {'name': "one"} ) is an item in `data` Array.
    */
    tpl: DEFAULT_TPL,
    /*
        There are serval data processers can be override in here such as `filter`

        It will stop matching if the query string is lonager than `max_len`.

    max_len: 20,
    /*

Examples

Custom Template

You can customize what will show in popup's item , such as user’s avatar.

A valid template should meet the following requirements:

  • It’s a li HTML element
  • It has the data-value attribute, whose value will be inserted into the inputor if the item is selected.
<li data-value='${word}'>anything here</li>

You put any HTML element into the template such as img. It just a HTML element.

var emojis = ["smile", "iphone", "girl", "smiley", "heart", "kiss", "copyright", "coffee"];
var emojis_list = $.map(emojis, function(value, i) {
  return {'id':i, 'key':value+":", 'name':value};
});
//http://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com/images/icons/emoji/8.png
$(".container textarea").atwho({
  at: ':',
  tpl: "<li data-value='${key}'><img src='http://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com/images/icons/emoji/${name}.png' height='20' width='20'/> ${name} </li>",
  data: emojis_list
});

Register multiple at key

At.js can listen to multiple at , every Keyword has its own settings.

var emojis = ["smile", "iphone", "girl", "smiley", "heart", "kiss", "copyright", "coffee"];

var names = ["Jacob", "Isabella", "Ethan", "Emma", "Michael", "Olivia", "Alexander", "Sophia", "William", "Ava", "Joshua", "Emily", "Daniel", "Madison", "Jayden", "Abigail", "Noah", "Chloe", "你好", "你你你"];

var emojis_list = $.map(emojis, function(value, i) {
  return {'id':i, 'key':value+":", 'name':value};
});

var issues = [
  { name: "1", content: "stay foolish"},
  { name: "2", content: "stay hungry"},
  { name: "3", content: "stay heathly"},
  { name: "4", content: "this happiess"},
];

//http://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com/images/icons/emoji/8.png
$(".container textarea")
  .atwho({
    at: "@",
    data: names
  })
  .atwho({
    at: "#", 
    tpl: '<li data-value="${name}">${name} <small>${content}</small></li>',
    data: issues
  })
  .atwho({
    at: ":", 
    tpl: "<li data-value='${key}'><img src='http://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com/images/icons/emoji/${name}.png' height='20' width='20'/> ${name} </li>",
    data: emojis_list
  });
