Auto-complete/auto-suggestion for django-taggit (django-taggit + selectize.js)

============================= taggit-selectize

Auto-complete/auto-suggestion for django-taggit.

django-taggit + selectize.js

With django-taggit, you can attach tags in any Django models. However, user experience is not that good as it uses comma to separate multiple tags in same form field, and resulting in duplicate tags eg. Himalaya vs. Himalayas, Sublime-Text vs. Sublime Text etc. And you probably want auto-complete/auto-suggest feature when user types some characters in tag field. Thanks to selectize.js, we got that covered :)

Quickstart

Install taggit-selectize::

pip install taggit-selectize

Usage

1. Put taggit-selectize in settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    ...
    ...
    'taggit_selectize',
)

2. Update urls.py.

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...

    url(r'^taggit/', include('taggit_selectize.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    ...
)

3. Create admin dir inside templates folder. Create a template base_site.html and copy paste this. This has to override from project template dirs otherwise django will still load default base_site.html from django.contrib.admin app. Also, filesystem loader must be before app dir loader in settings like:

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
    'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
    'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
)

You can also use outside of admin in same way.

Demo app

1. cd example_app
2. python manage.py migrate
3. python manage.py runserver
