Common Patterns

Custom Input Element (with AutoComplete)

<template>
  <n-dynamic-tags v-model:value="tags">
    <template #input="{ submit, deactivate }">
      <n-auto-complete
        ref="autoCompleteInstRef"
        v-model:value="inputValue"
        size="small"
        :options="options"
        placeholder="Email"
        :clear-after-select="true"
        @select="submit($event)"
        @blur="deactivate"
      />
    </template>
  </n-dynamic-tags>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const tags = ref([])
const inputValue = ref('')
const options = ref([
  { label: '[e-mail]', value: '[e-mail]' },
  { label: '[e-mail]', value: '[e-mail]' }
])
</script>

Custom Tag Rendering

<template>
  <n-dynamic-tags v-model:value="tags" :render-tag="renderTag" />
</template>

<script setup>
import { h } from 'vue'
import { NTag } from 'naive-ui'

const tags = ref(['Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange'])

const renderTag = (tag, index) => {
  return h(
    NTag,
    {
      type: 'primary',
      bordered: false,
      closable: true,
      onClose: () => tags.value.splice(index, 1)
    },
    { default: () => tag }
  )
}
</script>

Object Formatted Values

<template>
  <n-dynamic-tags v-model:value="value" @create="onCreate" />
  <pre>{{ JSON.stringify(value, null, 2) }}</pre>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const value = ref([
  { label: 'Vue', value: 'vue' },
  { label: 'React', value: 'react' }
])

const onCreate = (label) => {
  return {
    label,
    value: label.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, '-')
  }
}
</script>

Custom Tag Creation with Validation

<template>
  <n-dynamic-tags @create="handleCreate" />
</template>

<script setup>
const handleCreate = (label) => {
  if (label.length < 2) {
    return label
  }
  return label.toUpperCase()
}
</script>

Use in Form

<template>
  <n-form :model="model" :rules="rules">
    <n-form-item path="tags" :show-label="false">
      <n-dynamic-tags v-model:value="model.tags" />
    </n-form-item>
  </n-form>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'

const model = ref({
  tags: []
})

const rules = {
  tags: {
    type: 'array',
    required: true,
    message: 'At least one tag is required'
  }
}
</script>

Best Practices

1. Use max to limit tag count: Set a maximum number of tags to prevent excessive input.

2. Customize input with slots: Use the input slot for autocomplete or other input components.

3. Use on-create for value transformation: Transform user input before adding as a tag (e.g., lowercase, trim).

4. Use object format for complex data: When tags need both display label and value, use DynamicTagsOption format.

5. Combine with form validation: Wrap in n-form-item for validation support.
