Tags input directive for AngularJS. Check out the ngTagsInput website for more information.
- AngularJS 1.2.1+ (v1.2.0 is not supported due to an API change in Angular)
- A modern browser
The first step is to get the files. You have 4 options:
- Download the files manually from the Releases page.
- Use Bower to download the files. Just run
bower install ng-tags-input. - Load the files from CDNJS.
- Get the latest build* generated by Travis.
* The latest build is based on the master branch and contains the most recent features and bugfixes.
Now all you have to do is add the scripts to your application. Just make sure the ng-tags-input.js file is inserted after the angular.js script:
<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="ng-tags-input.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ng-tags-input.css">- Add the
ngTagsInputmodule as a dependency in your AngularJS app; - Add the custom directive
<tags-input>to the HTML file where you want to use an input tag control and bind it to a property of your model. That property, if it exists, must be an array of objects and each object must have a property namedtextcontaining the tag text; - Set up the options that make sense to your application;
- Enable autocomplete, if you want to use it, by adding the directive
<auto-complete>inside the<tags-input>tag, and bind it to a function of your model. That function must return a promise that eventually resolves to an array of objects (same rule from step 2 applies here); - Customize the CSS classes, if you want to.
- You're done!
Note: There's a more detailed getting started guide on the ngTagsInput website.
