## What it is
A React tagging input component inspired by Gmail's To field, supporting autocomplete suggestions, keyboard and mouse interaction, drag-and-drop reordering, and tag editing. It is published as react-tag-input on npm and written in TypeScript.

## Use cases
- add a tag input field with autocomplete to a react form
- let users enter email recipients like gmail's to field
- reorder tags with drag and drop in react
- editable chip/tag component for react
- tag input with keyboard navigation and clear all button

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made, accessible tagging input in a React 18 app
- you want autocomplete, drag-and-drop reordering, and tag editing out of the box
- you prefer a small MIT-licensed single-purpose component

## When to avoid
- your project does not use React or cannot include react-dnd peer dependencies
- you need a full multi-select combobox with async server-side search
- you are not on React 18+

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react, tag-input, autocomplete, drag-and-drop, typescript, web-server, nodejs
