Laravel Tag Plugin

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 Install (for Laravel 5)

composer require rtconner/laravel-tagging "~1.0.2"

Install and then Run the migrations

The service provider is does not load on every page load, so it should not slow down your app.

'providers' => array(
	'Conner\Tagging\TaggingServiceProvider',
);

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

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

Setup your models

class Article extends \Eloquent {
    use \Conner\Tagging\TaggableTrait;
}

Sample Usage

$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->tagged; // return Collection of rows tagged to article

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

Article::withAnyTag('Gardening, Cooking')->get() // fetch articles with any tag listed
Article::withAnyTag(array('Gardening','Cooking'))->get() // different sytax same result as above

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

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

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

See config/tagging.php for configuration options.
