Tiny Text Field Based Tags Input Plugin - Tagify

Tagify is a tiny jQuery plugin used to generate a simple, animated, high-performance tag / token input from either input field or textarea.

It also provides a vanilla JavaScript version which allows you to implement the tags input in pure JavaScript. 

Features:

• Auto prevent duplicate tags.
• Auto split input text into tags by comma or Enter key.
• Auto suggestion list.
• Compatible with latest Bootstrap framework.
• Works with React, Angular, jQuery, and Vanilla JS.

Installation:

# NPM
$ npm i @yaireo/tagify

import Tagify from '@yaireo/tagify'

How to use it (jQuery):

1. Put the main style sheet tagify.css in the head:

<link href="tagify.css" rel="stylesheet">

2. Include the JavaScript file jQuery.tagify.js after jQuery.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jQuery.tagify.js"></script>

3. You can also include the vanilla JS version if you'd like to implement the Tagify in pure JavaScript.

<script src="tagify.js"></script>

4. Create a normal input field or textfield for the tag input. You can set the predefined tags in the value attribute as follow:

<input name="tags" placeholder="write some tags" value="predefined tags here">

5. Initialize the Tagify and done.

// jQuery
$('[name=tags]').tagify();

// Vanilla JavaScript
var input = document.querySelector('input[name=tags]'),
tagify = new Tagify( input );

6. Enable the duplicate detection.

$('[name=tags]').tagify({
  duplicates : false
});

7. More configuration options.

$('[name=tags]').tagify({

  // tag data Object property which will be displayed as the tag's text
  tagTextProp: 'value',

  // placeholder text
  placeholder: '',

  // [regex] split tags by any of these delimiters ("null" to cancel)
  delimiters: ",", 

  // regex pattern to validate input by. 
  pattern: null, 

  // add the text which was inputed as a tag when blur event happens
  addTagOnBlur: true,

  // use 'select' for single-value dropdown-like select box
  // use 'mix' as value to allow mixed-content
  // use 'integrated' to skip the creation of the wrapper
  // the 'pattern' setting must be set to some character.
  mode: null,

  // by default, the native way of inputs' onChange events is kept, and it only fires when the field is blured.
  onChangeAfterBlur: true,

  mixMode: {
    insertAfterTag: '\u00A0', // node or string to add after a tag added
  }

  // interpolation for mix mode
  // everything between these will become a tag
  mixTagsInterpolator: ['[[', ']]'],

  // define conditions in which typed mix-tags content is allowing a tag to be created after.
  mixTagsAllowedAfter: /,|\.|\:|\s/,

  // maximum number of tags
  maxTags: Infinity, 

  // false or null will disallow editing
  editTags: {{
    clicks: 2, // Number of clicks to enter "edit-mode": 1 for single click. Any other value is considered as double-click
    keepInvalid: true, // keeps invalid edits as-is until esc is pressed while in focus
  }},

  // exposed callbacks object to be triggered on events: 'add' / 'remove' tags
  callbacks: {}, 

  // automatically adds the text which was inputed as a tag when blur event happens
  addTagOnBlur: true, 

  // automatically converts pasted text into tags
  pasteAsTags: true,

  // allow tuplicate tags
  duplicates: false, 

  // trim the tag's value
  trim: true,

  // is this list has any items, then only allow tags from this list
  whitelist: [], 

  // a list of non-allowed tags
  blacklist: [], 

  // should ONLY use tags allowed in whitelist
  enforceWhitelist: false, 

  // disable manually typing/pasting/editing tags
  userInput: true,

  // tries to autocomplete the input's value while typing
  autoComplete: {
    enabled: true,
    rightKey: false // If true, when → is pressed, use the suggested value to create a tag, else just auto-completes the input. In mixed-mode this is ignored and treated as "true"
  }, 

  dropdown: {
    classname     : '',
    enabled       : 2,      // minimum input characters to be typed for the suggestions dropdown to show
    maxItems      : 10,
    searchKeys    : ["value", "searchBy"],
    fuzzySearch   : true,
    caseSensitive : false,
    accentedSearch: true,
    highlightFirst: false,  // highlights first-matched item in the list
    closeOnSelect : true,   // closes the dropdown after selecting an item, if `enabled:0` (which means always show dropdown)
    clearOnSelect : true,   // after selecting a suggetion, should the typed text input remain or be cleared
    position      : 'all',  // 'manual' / 'text' / 'all'
    appendTarget  : null    // defaults to document.body one DOM has been loaded
  },

  hooks:{
    beforeRemoveTag: () => Promise.resolve(),
    beforePaste: () => Promise.resolve(),
    suggestionClick: () => Promise.resolve()
  },

  // object consisting of functions which return template strings
  templates: {wrapper, tag, dropdownItem},

  // take a tag input as argument and returns a transformed value
  transformTag: function(){},

  // if true, do not remove tags which did not pass validation
  keepInvalidTags: false,

  // skip invald tags
  skipInvalid: false,

  // if false, do not create invalid tags from invalid user input
  createInvalidTags: true,

  // true - remove last tag; edit - edit last tag
  backspace: true,

  // allows tags to get focus, and also to be deleted via Backspace
  a11y: {
    focusableTags: false,
  }

  // if you wish your original input/textarea value property format to other than the default (which I recommend keeping) you may use this and make sure it returns a string.
  originalInputValueFormat: function(){},

  // if the pattern setting does not meet your needs, use this function, which recieves tag data object as an argument and should return true if validaiton passed or false/string of not
  // a string may be returned as the reason of the validation failure.
  validate: function(){}
  
});

8. API methods.

var myInput = $('[name=tags]').tagify();

// adds new tag
// String (word, single or multiple with a delimiter), an Array of Objects, or Strings
// e.g. addTags(["banana", "orange", "apple"])
// or addTags([{value:"banana", color:"yellow"}, {value:"apple", color:"red"}, {value:"watermelon", color:"green"}])
// clearInputAfterAdding: true or false
// skipAddingInvalids: true or false
myInput.addTags(tags, clearInputAfterAdding, skipAddingInvalids);

// Bypasses the normalization process in addTags, forcefully adding tags at the last caret location or at the end, if there's no last caret location saved
// tags: Array/String
myInput.addMixTags(tags);

// create an empty tag (optionally with pre-defined data) and enters "edit" mode directly
// tagData: Object
myInput.addEmptyTag(tagData);

// removes a specific tag
// Array/HTMLElement/String tag(s) to remove
// silent: does not update the component's value
// tranDuration: transition duration in ms
myInput.removeTags(tags, silent, tranDuration);

// removes all tags
myInput.removeAllTags();

// destroy the plugin
myInput.destroy();

// converts the input's value into tags. This method gets called automatically when instansiating Tagify. Also works for mixed-tags
myInput.loadOriginalValues(String/Array);

// returns an Array of found matching items (case-insensitive)
myInput.getWhitelistItemsByValue(Object);

// returns the index of a specific tag, by value
myInput.getTagIndexByValue();

myInput.getTagTextNode(HTMLElement); 

// set the text of a tag (DOM only, does not affect actual data)
myInput.setTagTextNode(HTMLElement); 

// exit a tag's edit-mode. if "tagData" exists, replace the tag element with new data and update Tagify value
myInput.replaceTag(tagElm, Object (tagData));

// toogle loading state on/off (Ex. AJAX whitelist pulling)
myInput.loading();

// same as above but for a specific tag element
myInput.tagLoading(HTMLElement, Boolean);

// converts a template string (by selecting one from the settings.templates by name or supplying a template function which returns a String) into a DOM node
myInput.parseTemplate(String/Function (template name or function), Array (data));

// set readonly mode
myInput.setReadonly(true/false);
