## What it is
ngTagsInput is a highly customizable tags input directive for AngularJS that turns typed text into tags as the user types. It supports autocomplete and requires no external dependencies beyond AngularJS 1.3+.

## Use cases
- let users enter tags for a blog post
- select multiple contacts from a list with autocomplete
- add inline token input to an AngularJS form
- create a tag editor for categorizing content
- build a multi-select input with as-you-type suggestions

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy AngularJS 1.x application that needs a tags input
- you want a lightweight, dependency-free tagging directive with autocomplete

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project with modern Angular or any other framework
- you need actively maintained software with security updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: angularjs, tags-input, directive, autocomplete, unmaintained, web-server
