Use decorator with `findWithRegex` strategy along with `entityMap`

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? question

I’m struggling to understand the right way to use decorators in my use case.

I want to decorate/annotate a list of words that match a set of rules/regexs and allow the user to ignore certain words, so that they are not being highlighted anymore.

The idea of the ignore feature goes like this: I want to allow the user to ignore certain matches. For this I added a tooltip above the highlighted word. The issue is, if I just add a filter to ignore this specific regex, all the matches are ignored and I don’t want this. I want to ignore only this specific occurrence.

My idea was to get the entities from the entityMap and store the key in a ignore data structure. Now since I use the findWithRegex approach my entities and not really distinguishable since they are not listed in the entityMap.

Can you guys help me with it?

Any help would be highly appreciated. I’ve looked at the example (https://github.com/facebook/draft-js/blob/master/examples/draft-0-10-0/entity/entity.html) and read the docs (https://draftjs.org/docs/advanced-topics-decorators.html#content) and still don’t know what’s the best way of going about it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

So was able to solve my use case at the end. The solution was still using composite decorators alongside with a regex strategy and on top of that using entities to store the ignored words.

Hey @roundrobin I know you posted this message a long time ago, but if by any chance you still have a snippet of a working solution that would help us very much 🙏 We are trying to do exactly the same feature but have not found how yet
