Django Tagulous - Fabulous Tags

A tagging library for Django. Built on ForeignKey and ManyToManyField to support tag strings as well as native ORM queries.

Use a SingleTagField as a CharField with dynamic choices, or a TagField for conventional tagging or nested categorisation.

If you find this project useful, please do consider sponsoring development.

Features

Easy to install - simple requirements, simple syntax, lots of options
Based on ForeignKey and ManyToManyField, so it's easy to query
Autocomplete support built in, if you want it
Supports multiple independent fields on a single model
Supports trees of nested tags, for detailed categorisation
Admin support for managing tags and tagged models

Tested on Django 3.2 to 6.1, on Python 3.10+.

Quickstart

Install with pip install django-tagulous, add django_tagulous to Django's INSTALLED_APPS and define the serializers, then start adding tag fields to your model:

from django.db import models
from django_tagulous.models import SingleTagField, TagField

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    title = SingleTagField(initial="Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms")
    skills = TagField()

You can now set and get them using strings, lists or querysets:

myperson = Person.objects.create(name='Bob', title='Mr', skills='run, hop')
# myperson.skills == 'run, hop'
myperson.skills = ['jump', 'kung fu']
myperson.save()
# myperson.skills == 'jump, "kung fu"'
runners = Person.objects.filter(skills='run')

Behind the scenes each tag field is a ForeignKey or ManyToManyField relationship to a separate model (by default), so more complex queries are simple:

qs = MyRelatedModel.objects.filter(
    person__skills__name__in=['run', 'jump'],
)

As well as this you also get autocompletion in public and admin forms, automatic slug generation, unicode support, you can build tag clouds easily, and can nest tags for more complex categorisation.
