think of sth like twitter, where in a post the user can tag some other users. the tags have a certain color and are clickable. I believe I have completed the backend logic now I want to render the post content in the UI.so supposethe posts will be sth like this (where obviously the tags and text are dynamic):"@elonmusk is the ceo of x" how can I make @elonmusk blue and clickable and possible triggering an action in my nordcraft app?thanks

Unless I'm misunderstanding the scenario here, it should just be a matter of creating a 'tag' component which can be a simple element with a span and color variable with a click event

@Lucas G thanks.
are you thinking sth like this. I split the text by regex and then I have three texts:

@elonmusk
is the ceo of
@x

then for each I have: show span if it does not start with @ and show the tag component if it starts with @ similar to the video below. this would mean for each split we would have to elements right (span and tag component)?

I wouldn't split that. Those items would be saved in a db most likely
column: tag, value: @tag
column: role, value: role
etc

sorry I think I was not clear. the post can also be sth like this:
@ronaldo is a great entertainer

Got it, so you're tying to add a tag to anything starting with @
I was thinking something like post tags
Sounds like you already had it figured out then

Update: Took a look and splitting wouldn't work as it creates multiple spans which creates issues with properly wrapping text

The text should just be a single text block with inline spans for the tags

@Lucas G so you think my solution is fine?
just for the record, if there are no tags there is only one span, for each tag a span is added.
