Tags provide a way to relate otherwise unrelated models, enabling features like dynamic collections.

​
Overview

Tags provide a way to relate otherwise unrelated models in the system. They also impact other features such as Dynamic Collections. For example, two products “Blue T-Shirt” and “Blue Shoes” are unrelated by nature, but adding a BLUE tag to each product allows a Dynamic Collection to include any products with that tag.

Tags are automatically converted to uppercase when saved via the syncTags method.

Enabling tags

To enable tagging on a model, add the HasTags trait: 
<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Lunar\Base\Traits\HasTags;

class SomethingWithTags extends Model
{
    use HasTags;

    // ...
}
Tags can then be attached using syncTags: 
use Lunar\Models\Tag;

$tags = collect([
    Tag::firstOrCreate(['value' => 'TAG ONE']),
    Tag::firstOrCreate(['value' => 'TAG TWO']),
    Tag::firstOrCreate(['value' => 'TAG THREE']),
]);

$model = SomethingWithTags::first();

$model->syncTags($tags);
The syncTags method accepts a collection of Tag models. Tags are automatically converted to uppercase when saved. The sync process runs via a queued job (Lunar\Jobs\SyncTags), so changes may not be reflected immediately if using an asynchronous queue driver.
