set initialTags for tag-editor jquery

I have used following jquery for my project.

tag editor

I want to set initialTags parameter of tagEditor() from attribute of textarea..

For example:

<textarea id="demo3" data-json=""></textarea>

$('#demo3').tagEditor({
initialTags: $(this).attr("data-json"),
placeholder: 'Enter tags ...'
});

But here it doesn't work.. Can anyone help me with this???

Solution

  • this in this context isn't the matched element. What you can do is to use a cached variable:

    var $demo3 = $('#demo3');
$demo3.tagEditor({
  initialTags: $demo3.data("json"),
  placeholder: 'Enter tags ...'
});

    But don't forget than initialTags must be an array.
