Comparing Tribute.js and Tom Select for tagging with suggestions


#Python #Django #javascript #Webdev

I've been wishing for tagging autocomplete for some of my projects to go along with django-taggit.

This is a quick demo that I was playing with to help make a choice.

  • Tribute.js is nice if you want to do tagging or mentions in the text as you are typing.
  • Tom Select seems to play a little bit nicer with the way django-taggit works out of the box.

Sorry it isn't a super mobile friendly experience.

Tagging System Comparison

Tribute.js

Best for long text posts.

Try: @guido, #django, #database

Best for specific category fields.

Allows "X" to delete, multiple picks.
