dm-tags is now part of dm-more [http://github.com/sam/dm-more].

== Description

This package brings tagging to DataMapper.  It is inspired by Acts As Taggable On by Michael Bleigh, github's mbleigh.  Props to him for the contextual tagging based on Acts As Taggable on Steroids.

== Features and Problems

=== Features

* Contextual tagging using Model.has_tags_on (see below for usage)
* Traditional 'tags-only' tagging using Model.has_tags

=== Problems

* None known yet, but this is very alpha software.  Sorry if it misbehaves.  Please send me a github message if you find a bug.

== Synopsis

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'dm-core'
  require 'dm-tags'

  DataMapper.setup(:default, "sqlite3::memory:")

  class MyModel
    include DataMapper::Resource
    property :id, Integer, :serial => true
    has_tags_on :tags, :skills
  end

  DataMapper.auto_migrate!

  # Contextual tagging
  MyModel.taggable? #=> true
  MyModel.new.taggable? #=> true

  model = MyModel.new
  model.tag_list = 'test, me out,   please   '
  model.tag_list #=> ['me out', 'please', 'test'] # Sanitized and alphabetized
  model.save #=> true
  model.tags
  #=> [#<Tag id=1 name="me out">, #<Tag id=2 name="please">, #<Tag id=3 name="test">]
  model.tag_list = 'test, again'
  model.save #=> true
  model.tags
  #=> [#<Tag id=3 name="test">, #<Tag id=4 name="again">] # Checks for existing tags
  Tag.all
  #=> [#<Tag id=1 name="me out">, #<Tag id=2 name="please">, #<Tag id=3 name="test">, #<Tag id=4 name="again">]
  another = MyModel.new

  another.skills
  #=> [#<Tag id=5 name="all">, #<Tag id=6 name="like">,  #<Tag id=3 name="test">, #<Tag id=7 name="you">]

  MyModel.tagged_with('test') #=> [#<MyModel id=1>, #<MyModel id=2>]
  MyModel.tagged_with('test', :on => 'tags') #=> [#<MyModel id=1>]
  MyModel.tagged_with('test', :on => 'skills') #=> [#<MyModel id=2>]

  # Traditional 'tags only' tagging

  class TagsOnly
    include DataMapper::Resource
    property :id, Integer, :serial => true
    has_tags
  end

  TagsOnly.auto_migrate!

  TagsOnly.taggable? #=> true

  tags_only = TagsOnly.new
  tags_only.tag_list = 'tags, only'
  tags_only.tag_list #=> ['only', 'tags']
  tags_only.save #=> true
