README

This package is an attempt to enhance tag and tag group management for the systems' moderators/admins. This version gives more possibilities to use inside properly secured admin area. Please consider to use the original package if your tags supposed to be managed by non-privileged users.

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 require rtconner/laravel-tagging

Install and then Run the migrations

The package should auto-discover when you composer update. Then publish the tagging.php and run the database migrations with these commands.

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

Setup your models

class Article extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
{
	use \Conner\Tagging\Taggable;
}
