Rinvex Tags is a polymorphic Laravel package, for tag management. You can tag any eloquent model with ease, and utilize the awesomeness of Sluggable, and Translatable models out of the box.
-
Install the package via composer:
composer require rinvex/laravel-tags
-
Publish resources (migrations and config files):
php artisan rinvex:publish:tags
-
Execute migrations via the following command:
php artisan rinvex:migrate:tags
-
Done!
To add tags support to your eloquent models simply use \Rinvex\Tags\Traits\Taggable
trait.
Your tags are just normal eloquent models, so you can deal with it like so. There's few more methods added to tag models for your convenience, let's take a look:
// Create new tag by name
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->createByName('My New Tag');
// Create new tag by name, group, and translation
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->createByName('The very new tag', 'blog', 'en');
// Find first tag by name
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->firstByName('My New Tag');
// Find first tag by name, group, and translation
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->firstByName('وسم جديد', 'board', 'ar');
// Find tag(s) by name
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->findByName('My New Tag');
// Find tag(s) by name, group, and translation
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->findByName('وسم جديد', 'board', 'ar');
// Find multiple tags by names array
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->findByName(['Tag One', 'Tag Two']);
// Find multiple tags by delimited names (tag delimiter is customizable)
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->findByName('First Tag, Second Tag, Third Tag');
// Find tag(s) by name or create if not exists
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->findByNameOrCreate('My Brand New Tag');
// Find tag(s) by name, group, and translation or create if not exists
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->findByNameOrCreate(['My Brand New Tag 2', 'My Brand New Tag 3']);
Notes:
- Rinvex Tags extends and utilizes other awesome packages, to be translatable out of the box using
spatie/laravel-translatable
, and for automatic Slugging it usesspatie/laravel-sluggable
packages. Them them out.- Both
findByName()
andfindByNameOrCreate()
methods accepts either one or more tags as their first argument, and always return a collection.
The API is intutive and very straightfarwad, so let's give it a quick look:
// Get instance of your model
$post = new \App\Models\Post::find(1);
// Get attached tags collection
$post->tags;
// Get attached tags query builder
$post->tags();
You can attach tags in various ways:
// Single tag id
$post->attachTags(1);
// Multiple tag IDs array
$post->attachTags([1, 2, 5]);
// Multiple tag IDs collection
$post->attachTags(collect([1, 2, 5]));
// Single tag model instance
$tagInstance = app('rinvex.tags.tag')->first();
$post->attachTags($tagInstance);
// Single tag name (created if not exists)
$post->attachTags('A very new tag');
// Multiple delimited tag names (use existing, create not existing)
$post->attachTags('First Tag, Second Tag, Third Tag');
// Multiple tag names array (use existing, create not existing)
$post->attachTags(['First Tag', 'Second Tag']);
// Multiple tag names collection (use existing, create not existing)
$post->attachTags(collect(['First Tag', 'Second Tag']));
// Multiple tag model instances
$tagInstances = app('rinvex.tags.tag')->whereIn('id', [1, 2, 5])->get();
$post->attachTags($tagInstances);
Notes:
- The
attachTags()
method attach the given tags to the model without touching the currently attached tags, while there's thesyncTags()
method that can detach any records that's not in the given items, this method takes a second optional boolean parameter that's set detaching flag totrue
orfalse
.- To detach model tags you can use the
detachTags()
method, which uses exactly the same signature as theattachTags()
method, with additional feature of detaching all currently attached tags by passing null or nothing to that method as follows:$post->detachTags();
.- You may have multiple tags with the same name and the same locale, in such case the first record found is used by default. This is intended by design to ensure a consistent behavior across all functionality whether you are attaching, detaching, or scoping model tags.
And as you may have expected, you can check if tags attached:
// Single tag id
$post->hasAnyTags(1);
// Multiple tag IDs array
$post->hasAnyTags([1, 2, 5]);
// Multiple tag IDs collection
$post->hasAnyTags(collect([1, 2, 5]));
// Single tag model instance
$tagInstance = app('rinvex.tags.tag')->first();
$post->hasAnyTags($tagInstance);
// Single tag name
$post->hasAnyTags('A very new tag');
// Multiple delimited tag names
$post->hasAnyTags('First Tag, Second Tag, Third Tag');
// Multiple tag names array
$post->hasAnyTags(['First Tag', 'Second Tag']);
// Multiple tag names collection
$post->hasAnyTags(collect(['First Tag', 'Second Tag']));
// Multiple tag model instances
$tagInstances = app('rinvex.tags.tag')->whereIn('id', [1, 2, 5])->get();
$post->hasAnyTags($tagInstances);
Notes:
- The
hasAnyTags()
method check if ANY of the given tags are attached to the model. It returns booleantrue
orfalse
as a result.- Similarly the
hasAllTags()
method uses exactly the same signature as thehasAnyTags()
method, but it behaves differently and performs a strict comparison to check if ALL of the given tags are attached.
Rinvex Tags auto generates slugs and auto detect and insert default translation for you if not provided, but you still can pass it explicitly through normal eloquent create
method, as follows:
app('rinvex.tags.tag')->create(['name' => ['en' => 'My New Tag'], 'slug' => 'custom-tag-slug']);
Note: Check Sluggable package for further details.
Rinvex Tags methods that accept list of tags are smart enough to handle almost all kinds of inputs as you've seen in the above examples. It will check input type and behave accordingly.
You may encounter a situation where you need to get all models attached to certain tag, you do so with ease as follows:
$tag = app('rinvex.tags.tag')->find(1);
$tag->entries(\App\Models\Post::class)->get();
Yes, Rinvex Tags shipped with few awesome query scopes for your convenience, usage example:
// Single tag id
$post->withAnyTags(1)->get();
// Multiple tag IDs array
$post->withAnyTags([1, 2, 5])->get();
// Multiple tag IDs collection
$post->withAnyTags(collect([1, 2, 5]))->get();
// Single tag model instance
$tagInstance = app('rinvex.tags.tag')->first();
$post->withAnyTags($tagInstance)->get();
// Single tag name
$post->withAnyTags('A very new tag')->get();
// Multiple delimited tag names
$post->withAnyTags('First Tag, Second Tag, Third Tag');
// Multiple tag names array
$post->withAnyTags(['First Tag', 'Second Tag'])->get();
// Multiple tag names collection
$post->withAnyTags(collect(['First Tag', 'Second Tag']))->get();
// Multiple tag model instances
$tagInstances = app('rinvex.tags.tag')->whereIn('id', [1, 2, 5])->get();
$post->withAnyTags($tagInstances)->get();
Notes:
- The
withAnyTags()
scope finds posts with ANY attached tags of the given. It returns normally a query builder, so you can chain it or callget()
method for example to execute and get results.- Similarly there's few other scopes like
withAllTags()
that finds posts with ALL attached tags of the given,withoutTags()
which finds posts without ANY attached tags of the given, and lastlywithoutAnyTags()
which find posts without ANY attached tags at all. All scopes are created equal, with same signature, and returns query builder.
Manage tag translations with ease as follows:
$tag = app('rinvex.tags.tag')->find(1);
// Update name translations
$tag->setTranslation('name', 'en', 'New English Tag Name')->save();
// Alternatively you can use default eloquent update
$tag->update([
'name' => [
'en' => 'New Tag',
'ar' => 'وسم جديد',
],
]);
// Get single tag translation
$tag->getTranslation('name', 'en');
// Get all tag translations
$tag->getTranslations('name');
// Get tag name in default locale
$tag->name;
Note: Check Translatable package for further details.
