Getting Started

To get started using django-taggit simply install it with pip:

$ pip install django-taggit

Add "taggit" to your project’s INSTALLED_APPS setting.

Run ./manage.py migrate.

And then to any model you want tagging on do the following:

from django.db import models

from taggit.managers import TaggableManager

class Food(models.Model):
    # ... fields here

    tags = TaggableManager()

Note

If you want django-taggit to be CASE-INSENSITIVE when looking up existing tags, you’ll have to set TAGGIT_CASE_INSENSITIVE (in settings.py or wherever you have your Django settings) to True (False by default):

TAGGIT_CASE_INSENSITIVE = True

Settings

The following Django-level settings affect the behavior of the library

• TAGGIT_CASE_INSENSITIVE

  When set to True, tag lookups will be case insensitive. This defaults to False.

`` TAGGIT_STRIP_UNICODE_WHEN_SLUGIFYING

When this is set to True, tag slugs will be limited to ASCII characters. In this case, if you also have `unidecode installed, then tag sluggification will transform a tag like あい　うえお to ai-ueo. If you do not have unidecode installed, then you will usually be outright stripping unicode, meaning that something like helloあい will be slugified as hello.

This value defaults to False, meaning that unicode is preserved in slugification.

Because the behavior when True is set leads to situations where slugs can be entirely stripped to an empty string, we recommend not activating this.
