Logan-TagManager

A plugin to add a tag field to any form

A basic plugin can be used as such JS

$(function() {
  $('#placeTagManHere').handleTag({
    'formId': 'myForm', //The id of the form, used for capturing the submit button. In order to parse the tags as a  string to the hidden field.
                'uniqueIdentifier': 'derptys', //Enables the clear seperation of different TagFields on the same page.
                'tagLimit': 1, //Limit the amount of tags
                source: ['Java', 'Javascript'], //the sources for the autocomplete list
                presetValues: "Monky say, monkey do" //preset values. Since the limit is set to 1, only 'Monky say' will actually be used.
  });
});

HTML

<form id="myForm">
  <input type="hidden" id = "placeTagManHere" value="hidden"> //this will be the position of the tagfield
  <input type="submit" value="submit" id="formButton">
</form>

It includes a number of settable options

source: [], // The source of the autocomplete feature used like ['java', 'javascript', 'asp.net']
tagLimit: 2, // The maximum amount of tags
uniqueIdentifier: 'uniqueId', //Used to seperate different fields on the same page.
formId: '', //Used to catch form submission. If the tagfield is used in a form, this NEEDS to be set.
parentDivId: //The id for the div containing the inputfield and the tags, will be removed upon submission, but useful for styling.
warnWrongTagName: true, //should the user be warned if using the wrong html tag type (hides warnings)
presetValues: [], //If the value isn't '', this will be used to populate the tagfield on instantiation.

And last but not least, these are my references It probably will not work with older versions of jquery-ui, without slight modifications. My version btw is jquery ui 1.11.3

<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/myTagStyle.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/jquery-ui.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery/jquery-2.1.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery/MyTags.js"></script>

I'm rather new to writing jQuery plugins, and jQuery in general, so I know how confusing it can be when stuff like that isn't mentioned.
