This package is not meant to handle javascript or html in any way. This package handles database storage and read/writes only.

There are no real limits on what characters can be used in a tag. It uses a slug transform to determine if two tags are identical ("sugar-free" and "Sugar Free" would be treated as the same tag). Tag display names are run through Str::title()

composer require rtconner/laravel-tagging "~2.2"

The service provider does not load on every page load, so it should not slow down your app. In config/app.php You may add the the TaggingServiceProvider in the providers array as follows:

If you're using Laravel 5.5+ let the package auto discovery make this for you.

'providers' => [
	\Conner\Tagging\Providers\TaggingServiceProvider::class,
];

Then publish the configurations and migrations by:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Conner\Tagging\Providers\TaggingServiceProvider"
php artisan migrate

Lumen does not have a vendor:publish command, so you will need to create or copy the provided migrations and config file into their respective directory.

In app\bootstrap\app.php

// Add this line in your config section
$app->configure('tagging');
// Add this line in your service provider section
$app->register(Conner\Tagging\Providers\LumenTaggingServiceProvider::class);

After these two steps are done, you can edit config/tagging.php with your prefered settings.

class Article extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model {
	use \Conner\Tagging\Taggable;
}

$article = Article::with('tagged')->first(); // eager load

foreach($article->tags as $tag) {
	echo $tag->name . ' with url slug of ' . $tag->slug;
}

$article->tag('Gardening'); // attach the tag

$article->untag('Cooking'); // remove Cooking tag
$article->untag(); // remove all tags

$article->retag(array('Fruit', 'Fish')); // delete current tags and save new tags

$article->tagNames(); // get array of related tag names

Article::withAnyTag(['Gardening','Cooking'])->get(); // fetch articles with any tag listed

Article::withAllTags(['Gardening', 'Cooking'])->get(); // only fetch articles with all the tags

Article::withoutTags(['Gardening', 'Cooking'])->get(); // only fetch articles without all tags listed

Conner\Tagging\Model\Tag::where('count', '>', 2)->get(); // return all tags used more than twice

Article::existingTags(); // return collection of all existing tags on any articles

More examples in the documentation

You can create groups with the following artisan command

php artisan tagging:create-group MyTagGroup

Set the tag group for a tag

$tag->setGroup('MyTagGroup');

To get all the tags in a certain group

Tag::inGroup('MyTagGroup')->get()

Check if a tag is in a group

$tag->isInGroup('MyTagGroup');

See config/tagging.php for configuration options.

See the docs/ folder for more documentation.

This library stores full model class names into the database. When you upgrade laravel and you add namespaces to your models, you will need to update the records stored in the database. Alternatively you can override Model::$morphClass on your model class to match the string stored in the database.
