Django Tags Input is a module that gives you a modified version of the Xoxco jQuery Tags Input library within Django.

The result is a very pretty interface with tags and autocomplete which can optionally automatically create new items when they are missing.

One of the most useful features of Django Tags Input is that it stores the elements in the order which you input.

So if you insert `B, A, C` into the database, it will return it sorted the way you entered it: `B, A, C`.

How to install
--------------

Installing this module only takes a couple of minutes.

Currently Django 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2 are supported and tested in combination with Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10.

For Django below 2.2 and Python 2.7 up to version 4.6.0 should work.

For Django 1.4, Django 1.5, Django 1.6 and Django 1.7 in combination with
Python 2.6 and 2.7. Python 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4. Pypy and Pypy3 version 2.1.0 can
be used.

1. Install the module itself

    pip install django-tags-input

    # or
    
    easy_install django-tags-input

2. Add ``tags_input`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting in the Django ``settings.py``.

    Example:

    .. code-block:: python

        INSTALLED_APPS = (
            # ... your other installed apps
            'tags_input',
        )

3. Add the mappings to your ``settings.py`` file:

    Example:

    .. code-block:: python

        TAGS_INPUT_MAPPINGS = {
            'some_app.SomeKeyword': {
                'field': 'some_field',
            },
            'some_app.SomeOtherKeyword': {
                'fields': ('some_field', 'some_other_field'),
            },
            'some_app.SomeSortedKeyword': {
                'field': 'some_field',
                'ordering': [
                    'some_field',
                    'some_other_field',
                ],
                'filters': {
                    'some_field__istartswith': 'a',
                },
                'excludes': {
                    'some_field__iexact': 'foobar',
                },
            },
            'some_app.SomeCreateableKeyword': {
                'field': 'some_field',
                'create_missing': True,
            },
        }

4. Add the ``tags_input`` urls to your ``urls.py``:

    Example:

   .. code-block:: python

      from django.conf import urls

      urlpatterns = patterns('',
          url(r'^tags_input/', include('tags_input.urls', namespace='tags_input')),
          # ... other urls ... 
      )


Admin usage
-----------

.. code-block:: python

    from django.contrib import admin
    import models
    from tags_input import admin as tags_input_admin

    class YourAdmin(tags_input_admin.TagsInputAdmin):
        
        #Optionally specify which ManyToMany fields are to be used for tagging
        #Or define a get_tag_fields() method
        tag_fields = ["some_field"]

    admin.site.register(models.YourModel, YourAdmin)

Quickstart
----------

To test the project simply clone the repository, install and run the example:

.. code-block:: bash

    # mkvirtualenv is part of virtualenvwrapper, using a regular virtualenv, pyvenv or pipenv is also possible
    # Or even without any type of virtualenv at all
    mkvirtualenv django-tags-input
    git clone https://github.com/WoLpH/django-tags-input.git
    # Tested with Django 3.0
    pip install django
    pip install -e 'django-tags-input[tests]'
    cd django-tags-input/example
    python manage.py runserver

Now you can go to http://localhost:8000/admin/ and login with username and 
password `admin` and `admin` respectively.

After this you can try adding some extra `Foo` objects through the `Spam` admin
here: http://localhost:8000/admin/autocompletionexample/spam/2/

Note that some parts of the example are deliberately broken to test the
behaviour in broken environments.
