Basic Usage

To make a document taggable with meta information you need to include Mongoid::TaggableOnContext and Mongoid::TaggableOnContext::Meta into your document and call the taggable macro with the argument 'enable_meta' set to true:

Note: Please refer to https://github.com/aq1018/mongoid_taggable_with_context for information on how to use Mongoid::TaggableOnContext

class Post
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::TaggableWithContext
  include Mongoid::TaggableWithContext::Meta

  # default context is 'tags'.
  # enable_meta => true additionally creates #tags_having_meta, #tags_having_meta_array, #tags_including_meta, #add_tag_with_meta(tag, obj) instance methods
  taggable :enable_meta => true

  # tagging for 'interests' context.
  # enable_meta => true additionally creates #interests_having_meta, #interests_having_meta_array, #interests_including_meta, #add_interest_with_meta(tag, obj) instance methods
  taggable :interests, :enable_meta => true

end

Here is an overview ofthe provided methods:

p = Post.create!(:tags => "food ant bee")
p.add_tag_with_meta('metatag', {:something => 'Foo', :another => 'Bar'})
p.add_tag_with_meta('metatag2', {:something => 'Foo2', :another => 'Bar2'})

p.tags                      # => "food ant bee metatag metatag2"
p.tags_array                # => ["food", "ant", "bee", "metatag", "metatag2"]
p.tags_having_meta          # => "metatag, metatag2"
p.tags_having_meta_array    # => ["metatag", "metatag2"]
p.tags_including_meta       # =>[ ["food", {}], ["ant", {}], ["bee", {}], ["metatag", {:something => 'Foo', :another => 'Bar'}], ["metatag2", {:something => 'Foo2', :another => 'Bar2'}] ]

Then in your form, for example:

<% form_for @post do |f| %>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :title %><br />
    <%= f.text_field :title %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :content %><br />
    <%= f.text_area :content %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :tags %><br />
    <%= text_field_tag 'post[tags]' %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :interests %><br />
    <%= text_field_tag 'post[interests]' %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <%= f.label :skills %><br />
    <%= text_field_tag 'post[skills]' %>
  </p>
