Django taggit integration with frontend (auto-complete and auto-suggest)


I'm looking for a django app that provides a form-filed with taggit integration and a front end JS tagging library as mentioned here: jQuery autocomplete tagging plug-in like StackOverflow's input tags?

Do I have to implement this myself or is there an existing django app that integrates django-taggit with a front-end tagging library.

Ideally I would want auto-suggest and auto-complete. Admin integration would be nice.

This will be useful for others too since every body wants SO like tagging or more advanced tagging.


Solution

  • I found the following options for implementing auto-complete in django-taggit.

    https://github.com/Jaza/django-taggit-autocomplete

    https://bitbucket.org/fabian/django-taggit-autosuggest

    https://github.com/20tab/django-taggit-live

    https://github.com/gnotaras/django-taggit-autocomplete-modified

    Some of these libraries seem to be old and broken on the latest django versions.

    I also found an alternative library to django-taggit called django-tagulous which has auto-complete integrated.

    Note: It doesn't have Django 1.11 support yet in the main branch.

    A nice bonus is it uses Select2 JS library and has admin integration.
