Colorful Tag Cloud Plugin For jQuery - prettyTag

prettyTag is a jQuery plugin mainly designed for creating a colorful tag cloud that dynamically applies random colors to tags.

In addition, this plugin also supports input mode that allows the user to add/remove tags similar to the tagging system.

How to use it:

1. Include the stylesheet prettytag.css in the <head> section of your page and the JavaScript file prettytag.js before the closing </body> tag.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/prertytag.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js" 
        integrity="sha384-tsQFqpEReu7ZLhBV2VZlAu7zcOV+rXbYlF2cqB8txI/8aZajjp4Bqd+V6D5IgvKT" 
        crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.prettytag.js"></script>

2. Create a tag cloud from an HTML unordered list as follows:

<ul class="cloud-tags">
  <li> 
    <a href="#1"> Tag 1 </a> 
  </li>
  <li> 
    <a href="#2"> Tag 2 </a> 
  </li>
  <li> 
    <a href="#3"> Tag 3 </a> 
  </li>
  ...
</ul>

3. Call the function on the HTML list and done.

$(function(){

  $(".cloud-tags").prettyTag();

});

4. Create a tag input where the users are able to input multiple tags separate with the comma.

<input class="codehim-input-tags" name="tags" type="text" />

<section class="show-input-tags">

  <ul class="tags cloud-tags"></ul>

</section>

5. Enable/disable the tag icon (Requires Font Awesome Iconic Font).

$(".cloud-tags").prettyTag({
  tagicon: false
});

6. Decide whether or not to use random colors.

$(".cloud-tags").prettyTag({
  randomColor: false
});

7. Set the tag URL for the tags input. URL parameters are supported as well.

$(".cloud-tags").prettyTag({
  tagURL: "#"
});
