        label="Tags"
        placeholder="Write tags"

API

Currently the component listen to the following keys: enter, esc, backspace, mod+a, mod+c and mod+v (for copy/paste).

It supports a keyboard-only copy paste (using mod+a).

Each tag you will be passing should have the following shape:

Property	Type	Required	Description
value	String	true	Tag value
special	Boolean	false	Special marks the tag as different. For example a special tag when using the case-sensitive options is a case-sensitive tag

The TagsInput component contains the following properties:

Property	Type	Default	Description
tags	Array<Tags>	[]	Array of tags to display
label	String	undefined	Rendered above the field itself
placeholder	String	undefined	Input placeholder
error	String	undefined	Error message rendered below the field. When the field is set it will also have the class is-error
tagRenderer	Function	undefined	Optional function that gets used to render the tag
copyButton	Boolean	false	Renders a copy to clipboard button
copyButtonLabel	String	Copy to clipboard	Label for the copy to clipboard button
blacklistChars	Array<String>	[',']	Characters not allowed in the tags. Must always contain ,
specialTags	Boolean	false	Enable the creation of special tags
specialButtonRenderer	Function	undefined	Function that gets used to render the special button
specialButtonLabel	String	Special	Label for the special button. Only used when a specialButtonRenderer is not defined
