Simple way to tag eloquent models in Laravel.

Require the package from your composer.json file

"require": {
    "lecturize/laravel-tags": "^1.0"
}

and run $ composer update or both in one with $ composer require lecturize/laravel-tags.

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\ServiceProvider"
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lecturize\Tags\TagsServiceProvider"

This will publish a config/sluggable.php, a config/lecturize.php and some migration files, that you'll have to run:

$ php artisan migrate

For migrations to be properly published ensure that you have added the directory database/migrations to the classmap in your projects composer.json.

First, add our HasTags trait to your model.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Lecturize\Tags\Traits\HasTags;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasTags;

    // ...
}
?>

$tags = $model->tags();

$tags = $model->hasTag('Check');

$tags = $model->tag('My First Tag');
$tags = $model->tag(['First', 'Second', 'Third']);

$tags = $model->untag('Remove');

$tags = $model->retag('A New Tag');
$tags = $model->retag(['Fourth', 'Fifth', 'Sixth']);

$tags = $model->detag();

$tags = $model->listTags();

This is a convenience method for $model->tags->pluck('tag')

There are two scopes included to fluently query models (e.g. Posts) with given tags.

$posts = Post::withTag('My First Tag')->get();
$posts = Post::withTags(['First', 'Second', 'Third'])->get();
