A Tag Picker for Vue

Demonstration

Introduction

This is a Vue.js component for accepting many dynamic input items from the user. This could be used for filtering or adding tags/categories (as the name suggests). This was originally written as a Knockout component but I needed the same functionality in Vue.

Usage

Installation

NPM

    npm install --save vuetagpicker 
    //In App.js     Vue.use(VueTagPicker)     //...or in a component     import { TagPicker } from 'vuetagpicker'     export default {		       name: 'my-component',		       components: {		         TagPicker		       },		       data() {		         return {		           tags: ["hello", "world"]         }		       },		       methods: {		     	//event callback         updatedTags(newTags) {		           this.tags = newTags;	         }		       }		     }

Props

Name Type Default Comments
allowDuplicates Boolean false
seperator String | (Pipe)
addOnKeys [Number] [TagKey, EnterKey, CommaKey] These are event keycodes. They trigger the adding of the tag.
removeOnKeys [Number] [BackspaceKey] These are event keycodes, they trigger the removing of the tag.
tagsList Array or String [] You can pass in a string or an array, the string will be seperated by the specified seperator (default "|").
tagColor String #3498db CSS Colors, if it can be used in a style attribute and is a Color, you can use it. Sets the background Color of the tag, and the underline of the input.
fieldName String vue-tag-picker The ID for the tag picker. Primarily added so you can create a <label for="vue-tag-picker">Some Label</label> and give the input focus on label click/
borderColor String #cecece Override the default border Color for the component.
editingClass String "editing" Override the default editing class for the tags.
confirmDelete Boolean false Prompts the user with a confirm dialog if true.
confirmDeleteMessage String "Are you sure you want to remove this tag?" Message that is shown in the confirm dialog if confirmDelete is set to true
customConfirmDialog Promise null This must be a promise. This is so that third-party dialog libraries can be used like SweetAlert2. Is shown if confirmDelete is true. If this isn't supplied it will show the default JavaScript confirm dialog.

Demo

JSFiddle

Custom Confirm Dialogs

  • Create a method on the parent component that returns a promise.
  • Resolve the promise with true or false
 customConfirmDialog() {            return swal({                title: 'Are you sure?',                text: "You won't be able to revert this!",                type: 'warning',                showCancelButton: true,                confirmButtonColor: '#3085d6',                cancelButtonColor: '#d33',                confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!'            }).then(function() {              return true;              //SweetAlert2 has a second function in the then for cancel operations            }, function(){                return false;            });

Pass the newly created method into the component :custom-confirm-dialog="customConfirmDialog" :confirm-delete="true"

How to contribute

Vue Tag Picker was created for the public. It was made open source to give developers something to learn from and so I can learn from you. If you have found a bug that you would like to fix, or a feature that you think other users would like, then fork the repo and create a pull request. PRs are very welcome.

Getting started

  • Make sure you have a GitHub account
  • Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
    • Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
    • Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.
  • Fork the repository on GitHub.

Making Changes

  • Clone your forked repository
  • Create a branch from master i.e features/improve-mobile-touch-support or bugs/some-bug
  • Write your tests (where applicable). I'm aiming for 90% coverage at all times.
  • Make your changes / fixes in your branch.
  • If you are adding new functionality, checkout the docs branch and submit information about your shiny new feature. Or if you've fixed a bug and the documentation needs to be updated, you can crack on with that, too. 😃
  • Commit your changes with a meaningful commit message.
  • Create a pull request
    • If the Travis-CI build fails on your PR there will be small red cross. Take a look to see if you can fix it.
      • If the build is failing, then go back to your branch and commit the fix.
  • Sit back and wait for it to be accepted and give yourself a pat on the back for being part of the Open-Source community ❤️

Running the Tests

There are 2 scripts you can run.

  • npm run unit or yarn run unit - This will run all the tests once.
  • npm run unit:watch or yarn run unit:watch - This will continuously run tests, best for a TDD approach (preferred).

Notes

  • Don't be shy to criticise the code, too. I'll take all the advice I can get.
  • Don't be afraid of asking questions, I'll answer them as fully as I know how.
  • There is no judgement here 💞
