Tagger

The tagger input type renders VInputTagger, a free-form tag creator and selector built on Vuetify's v-combobox. Users can select existing tags (displayed as coloured chips) or type a new value to create one on the fly. Existing tags are editable inline. Unlike Tag, Tagger manages its own tag entity CRUD (create / rename) rather than just selecting from a pre-existing namespace.

Hydrate

Class: TaggerHydrateConfig type: taggerOutput type: input-tagger → VInputTagger

The hydrate:

• Requires _moduleName and _routeName; throws if the repository does not use TagsTrait
• Sets fetchEndpoint and updateEndpoint from the module route action URLs
• Loads items via repository->getTags(), prepending a "Select an option or create one" header
• Each item is enriched with a color cycled from the colors array
• For translated tags, items are grouped by locale with a header in each group

Usage

Standard (auto-resolved)

[
    'type' => 'tagger',
]

Translated tags

[
    'type'       => 'tagger',
    'translated' => true,
]

Custom colors

[
    'type'   => 'tagger',
    'colors' => ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'yellow'],
]

Schema Defaults

Key	Default	Description
itemValue	'id'	Field used as the tag value

Tagger vs Tag: Use tagger when users should be able to create new tags from within the form. Use tag when tags are managed centrally and users only select from an existing set.
