taggingJS

A jQuery/Zepto plugin to make tagging easy.

taggingJS is a jQuery/Zepto plugin to create a highly customizable tagging UI. It is less than 3 kb and supports all major browsers!

The key api differnces between this and the main project is that jQuery or Zepto is passed in as first argument.

other additions

support for browserify
support for component
events if event emitter is passed in options argument

Getting Started

You can find a working example in Codepen.io or in the project's GitHub page.

Simplest

Download the tagging.min.js file from this repository;
Include <script src="path/to/tagging.min.js"></script> to the bottom of your page;
Optional - Include the basic CSS tag style <link href="tag-basic-style.css" rel="stylesheet"> to the <head> of your page;
Add to your page something like <div data-tags-input-name="tag" id="tagBox">preexisting-tag</div>;
Add to your main JavaScript file $("#tagBox").tagging();;

The data-tags-input-name="tag" is the name attribute used by each input inside the tagBox.

Customize

There are several ways to customize the default behavior of taggingJS:

Use a JavaScript custom_options object to customize the global taggingJS behavior (see First Way);
Use data attributes in the tagBox HTML Markup (see Second Way);
Use a combination of the first two way (see Third Way);

N.B.: Be careful! data attributes have an higher priority than the custom_options object, because each data attribute overwrite the global behavior. In other words, the global settings work for all tags box captured, unless in these are specified data attributes (which may change the behavior).

First Way - Global Object

Create a custom options object, like this my_custom_options (see Available Options):

var my_custom_options = {
	"no-duplicate": true,
	"no-duplicate-callback": window.alert,
	"no-duplicate-text": "Duplicate tags",
	"type-zone-class": "type-zone",
	"tag-box-class": "tagging",
	"forbidden-chars": [",", ".", "_", "?"]
};

Create a tag box (or multiple tag box) like this:
```
<div id="tagBox">preexisting-tag</div>
```

Add to your main JavaScript file:

$("#tagBox").tagging(my_custom_options);

In this way, we customize the global behavior of taggingJS for all tag box caught with selector.

Second Way - Data Attributes

Create a tag box with some data attributes, like this (see Available Options):

<div
	data-no-duplicate="true"
	data-pre-tags-separator="\n"
	data-no-duplicate-text="Duplicate tags"
	data-type-zone-class="type-zone"
	data-tag-box-class="tagging"
	data-edit-on-delete="true"
id="tagBox">preexisting-tag</div>

Add to your main JavaScript file:
```
$("#tagBox").tagging();
```

N.B.: Use data method with no-duplicate-callback and forbidden-chars can cause some problems. Avoid it.

Third Way - Mixed Way

In this way, we mix data attributes and options object to customize taggingJS behavior for each tag box.

Create a tag box with some data attributes, like this:

<div class="tag-box"
	data-no-duplicate="true"
	data-tags-input-name="tag"
id="tagBox1">preexisting-tag</div>

Create another tag box with no data attributes:

<div id="tagBox1" class="tag-box">preexisting-tag</div>

Create a custom options object, like this my_custom_options (see Available Options):

var my_custom_options = {
	"no-duplicate": false,
	"tags-input-name": "taggone",
	"edit-on-delete": false,
};

Add to your main JavaScript file

$(".tag-box").tagging(my_custom_options);

Now you may see that:

The #tagBox1 has a behavior that overwrite some my_custom_options options:

	- Does not accept duplicate tag (*for the respective `data` attribute*);
	- For each tag, it has `tag` as input name (*for the respective `data` attribute*);
	- On delete, the tag is completely removed (*for the `my_custom_options`*);

The #tagBox2 has a behavior dictated only by my_custom_options:

	- Accept duplicate tag (*for the `my_custom_options`*);
	- For each tag, it has `tag` as input name (*for the `my_custom_options`*);
	- On delete, the tag is completely removed (*for the `my_custom_options`*);
