F.A.Q.

How to customize how it looks?

Simply override the CSS classes. Changing the tag background, for instance, is as easy as

.react-tagged--tag {
  background-color: orange;
}

How to override the default animations?

The default transition is applied to the max-width of a tag. There are four CSS classes that handle CSS transitions on tag appear and on tag leave. Override those to change it.

.react-tagged--tag-enter {
  transition: max-width 0.2s ease-out;
  max-width: 0;
}

.react-tagged--tag-enter.react-tagged--tag-enter-active {
  max-width: 100px;
}

.react-tagged--tag-leave {
  transition: max-width 0.2s ease-in;
  max-width: 100px;
}

.react-tagged--tag-leave.react-tagged--tag-leave-active {
  max-width: 0;
}
