Tag-it is a jQuery UI plugin that turns list or input elements into tag editing widgets with autocomplete and tag suggestion support. It is explicitly unmaintained and end-of-life, with tagify recommended as a replacement.
Use cases
- add tag input fields to web forms
- autocomplete tag suggestions from a remote source
- let users enter multiple tags in a single field
- pre-populate tags from existing list items
- theme a tag widget with jQuery UI Themeroller
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy jQuery/jQuery UI codebase that already uses tag-it
- you need a simple, MIT-licensed tag widget with no build tooling
When to avoid
- starting a new project - the project is unmaintained with many open PRs
- you want active development and support - use tagify instead
- you are not already using jQuery and jQuery UI
