Stackoverflow's Interesting Tags Implementation

Question

I can't seem to find any resources relating to the implementation of SO's interesting tags javascript implementation, where adding tags happens on the client-side, and you can delete tags on the client-side also. It's just I'm looking for a way to select multiple entities for use in a query, without using a multi-select list (combo box?). The tag-style format is very useful. This is also similar to Facebook's messaging where you can specify multiple recipients.

Any pointers?

Similar, but it doesn't support the features I require really. I use autocompleter plugin already, and it doesn't do this. — Kezzer, Apr 01 '10 at 14:03

Here's a nice new jQuery Plugin which will even place an image around each tag and add a remove button.

Amazingly simple and effective plugin – Sophivorus Mar 15 '12 at 18:19
is there a react component? – stevemao Oct 31 '18 at 05:24
I had a look at both react-select and tag-it, neither of them support click to edit a selected tag. – stevemao Oct 31 '18 at 05:25
