I'm looking for a specific component for Angular, something that works in a similar way of Bootstrap Tags Input

Can anyone help me finding a out-of-the-box component or providing some example of implementation? I need it for Angular 4

TL;DR In Angular, that type of component is named chip. Change your keyword and you will find better results.

There are many ways to reach it, the most common is through Angular Material.

Firstly, install Angular Material in your project following the official tutorial. Luckily it is well written and I don't think you are going to have problems.

Then, import MatChipsModule in the component you want to see the tags, in this way:

import {MatChipsModule} from '@angular/material';

and finally you can use the component in your template:

<mat-chip-list>
  <mat-chip *ngFor="let i of items" [selectable]="selectable"
           [removable]="removable" (remove)="remove(i)">
    {{i.tagName}}
    <mat-icon matChipRemove *ngIf="removable">cancel</mat-icon>
  </mat-chip>
</mat-chip-list>

  • thank you cristian but unfortunately i don't use angular material and i can't use it in this project so i will be thankful if you have another solution – Samir Ghoneim Oct 06 '17 at 17:36
  • if you can't use any external module then you have no many ways, you have to create it by yourself – Cristian Traìna Oct 06 '17 at 17:39
  • i already use external modules but i need that tags to finish my project so i think it will be bad to include angular material for that purpose only as i'll not use it in any thing else – Samir Ghoneim Oct 06 '17 at 17:49
  • Luckily angular material is modular so you don't need to import the whole framework but only the piece you need :) just the essential – Cristian Traìna Oct 06 '17 at 18:01
