# TagInput

Free-form text tokens with keyboard entry, removal and named form values.

Connect Flood once using [the installation guide](https://flood.md/docs/installation). Then import the components you use; no per-component add command is needed.

## Example

```tsx
"use client";

import { FloodRoot, TagInput } from "@flood-md/react";
import "@flood-md/react/styles.css";

export function Example() {
  return (
    <FloodRoot>
      <TagInput label="Topics" defaultValue={["Design", "React"]} name="topics" placeholder="Add a topic…" />
    </FloodRoot>
  );
}
```

## Design notes

- Use TagInput for values the user may create. Use MultiSelect for a fixed option collection.
- Enter and configured delimiters commit trimmed, unique tags. Pasting separated text adds multiple tags. IME composition is preserved.
- Each committed tag submits one entry under name. required applies to committed tags; a draft is not a submitted token. Form reset preserves controlled ownership.
- Backspace on an empty draft removes the last token. Read only preserves copying and form values; disabled omits submission and removal. Introduced in 0.2.7.
