A tiny tags editor written in vanilla JavaScript.
Create a tiny, very simple and zero dependency library that enables a HTML element to be used as a tags editor in plain JavaScript.
npm install tags-editor
or load the bundle file directly at the end of your HTML document.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/tags-editor/dist/bundle.js"></script>
- Reference the editor library in your HTML document.
- Add a link tag in your HTML document
<head>to load the Material Symbols icon set:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Material+Symbols+Outlined:opsz,wght,FILL,[email protected],100..700,0..1,-50..200" />
- Add a
data-tags-editorattribute to the HTML element you want to transform into an editor.
Use the exported function window.__tagsEditor.initializeEditor() which take as the first argument the DOM element (usually a <div>) that you want to transform to an editor. Refer to the /public/index.html for an example.
Listen for the updateTagsList event on the editor HTML element.
document
.querySelectorAll('[data-tags-editor]')
.forEach(editor =>
editor.addEventListener('updateTagsList', e => console.log(e.detail.tagsList)
)
);
Listen for the removedTag event on the editor HTML element.
document
.querySelectorAll('[data-tags-editor]')
.forEach(editor =>
editor.addEventListener('removedTag', e => console.log(e.detail.tagValue)
)
);
data-tags-placeholder="placeholder here": defines the input field placeholder.data-tags-list="tag 1,tag 2,tag 3": defines a list of tags in the tags editor load.
Modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge,...) are supported. Tags Editor doesn't work on Internet Explorer.
Tags editor architecture is based on Fabian Vilers's Tiny Editor project.
