## What it is
A Laravel package by Spatie that adds taggable behavior to Eloquent models via a HasTags trait. It supports attaching, detaching, and syncing tags, plus tag translations, multiple tag types, and sorting out of the box.

## Use cases
- add tags to laravel eloquent models
- tag and categorize content in a laravel app
- retrieve models by tags in laravel
- translate tags for a multilingual laravel app
- manage multiple tag types like categories and topics
- sync tags on a model so only given tags remain

## When to choose
- you're building a Laravel app and need tagging on Eloquent models
- you need tag translations or typed tag groups out of the box
- you want a well-maintained, widely used tagging solution

## When to avoid
- your project isn't Laravel/PHP
- you only need simple string labels without a database-backed tag model
- you use another framework like Symfony or Rails

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: orm, database
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: php
- tags: laravel, eloquent, tagging, tags, spatie, multilingual, web-server
