Tokenize Text When Typing In An Input - jQuery Tagzy

Tagzy is a really simple jQuery plugin which enables you to tagify & tokenize text in an input field using Enter and Comma while typing.

How to use it:

1. Create a hidden text field for the tag/token input.

<input type="hidden" name="tagged" id="tagged">

2. Place jQuery JavaScript library and the jquery.tagzy.js at the bottom of the webpage.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js" 
        integrity="sha384-nvAa0+6Qg9clwYCGGPpDQLVpLNn0fRaROjHqs13t4Ggj3Ez50XnGQqc/r8MhnRDZ" 
        crossorigin="anonymous">
</script>
<script src="jquery.tagzy.js"></script>

3. Attach the function tagzy() to the input field and done.

$(function() {
  $('#tagged').tagzy();
});

4. Customize the styles of the tags & tokens.

.tags {
  overflow: hidden;
  border: 1px solid #b2b3ae;
  padding: 2px 2px 4px;
  width: 500px;
  height: 100px;

  background: #FFF;
  -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
  -moz-border-radius: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
}
