import {Component} from '@angular2/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app',
    directives: [TagInput],
    template: `<tag-input [(ngModel)]='items'></tag-input>`
});
export class App {
    items = ['Pizza', 'Pasta', 'Parmesan'];
    // ...
}

API

@Input:

• placeholder - (?string) - String that sets the placeholder of the input for entering new terms.
• secondaryPlaceholder - (?string) - String that sets the placeholder of the input for entering new terms when there are 0 items entered.
• maxItems - (?number) - Sets the maximum number of items it is possible to enter.
• readonly - (?boolean) - Sets the tag input static, not allowing deletion/addition of the items entered.
• separatorKeys - (?string[]) - Array of keyboard keys with which is possible to define the key for separating terms. By default. only Enter is the defined key.
• transform - (?(item: string) => string) - a function that takes as argument the value of an item, and returns a string with the new value when appended. If the method returns null/undefined/false, the item gets rejected.
• validators - (?Validators[]) - an array of Validators (custom or Angular's) that will validate the tag before adding it to the list of items. It is possible to use multiple validators.

@Output:

• onAdd - (onAdd(item: string)) - event fired when an item has been added
• onRemove - (onRemove(item: string)) - event fired when an item has been removed
• onSelect - (onSelect(item: string)) - event fired when an item has been selected

Examples:

// example app

@Component({
    selector: 'app',
    directives: [TagInput],
    template: `<tag-input [(ngModel)]='items'></tag-input>`
});
export class App {
    items = ['Pizza', 'Pasta', 'Parmesan'];
    options = {
        placeholder: "+ term",
        secondaryPlaceholder: "Enter a new term",
        separatorKeys: [4, 5]
        maxItems: 10
    }
    onItemAdded(item) {
        console.log(``${item} has been added`)
    }
    onItemRemoved(item) {
        console.log(``${item} has been removed :(`)
    }
    // ...
}

<tag-input [(ngModel)]='items'
           [placeholder]="options.placeholder"
           [secondaryPlaceholder]="options.secondaryPlaceholder"
           [maxItems]="options.maxItems"
           [separatorKeys]="options.separatorKeys">
</tag-input>

<tag-input [(ngModel)]='items'
           (onRemove)="onItemRemoved($event)"
