Livewire Easy Tags

Livewire Easy Tags is a powerful and convenient package that enhances the Livewire experience by simplifying the process of working with tags and tag inputs. With this package, you can easily integrate tags functionality into your Livewire components, allowing users to add, edit, remove tags and add colors to tags effortlessly.

Installation

To install Livewire Easy Tags, use Composer:

composer require codekinz/livewire-easy-tags

Prerequisite

Laravel 7.x or higher
Livewire 2.x or higher
Alpine Js 3.x or higher
Tagify 3.x or higher
Tailwind 2.x or higher

Getting Started

Setup

After installing the package via Composer, you may need to add the service provider to your config/app.php file:

// config/app.php

'providers' => [
    // Other service providers
    Codekinz\LivewireEasyTags\LivewireEasyTagsServiceProvider::class,
],

Publish the migration and config files

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=livewire-easy-tags

Run the migration

php artisan migrate

Set up the Livewire component

In order to use Livewire easy tags, you will first need to create a Livewire component

php artisan make:livewire Tags

In Livewire Tags component, instead of extending the Livewire class you will need to extend the LivewireEasyTags. You Tags component should look like this

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;
use Codekinz\LivewireEasyTags\Components\LivewireEasyTags;
use Codekinz\LivewireEasyTags\Contracts\HasEasyTags;
use Codekinz\LivewireEasyTags\Traits\InteractsWithTags;

class Tags extends LivewireEasyTags implements HasEasyTags
{
    use InteractsWithTags;
}

Add trait to Laravel Model

This package uses Laravel Spatie Tags as an underlying package. So, in order to use its functionality, you need to use this Trait HasSpatieTags in your model class.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Codekinz\LivewireEasyTags\Traits\HasSpatieTags;

class YourModel extends Model
{
    use HasFactory, HasSpatieTags;
    ...
}

Usage

Now we are good to go. We just need to call our Livewire component in a blade file.

 @livewire('dashboard',
        [
            'modelClass' => App\Models\User::class,
            'modelId' => 2,
            'tagType' => 'flights'
        ])

Here is the explanation of parameters

modelClass is the class of the model that you want to associate with the tag
modelId is the record identifier i.e primary key value
tagType allows you to set up tags for multiple modules. For instance, you need to use tags for multiple modules like travel, bookings and flights then the tagType parameter will serve the purpose.

Configurations

Configurations are available at config/livewire-easy-tags.php. You can change the configuration in this file globally or you can use this function in your Tags component if you want to have multiple tags component

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;
use Codekinz\LivewireEasyTags\Components\LivewireEasyTags;
use Codekinz\LivewireEasyTags\Contracts\HasEasyTags;
use Codekinz\LivewireEasyTags\Traits\InteractsWithTags;

class Tags extends LivewireEasyTags implements HasEasyTags
{
    use InteractsWithTags;

    protected function configurations(): array
    {
       return [
            'colors' => [
                'lightblue' => '#add8e6',
                'lightgreen' => '#90ee90',
                'pink' => '#ffc0cb',

        ];
    }
}
