Hello Guys,
In the blog applications, while creating blog, you want to add multiple tags for the article. Dropdown only allows users to select options list. You may want user to input desired tags. This is where Bootstrap tags input plugin is useful.
In this article, we will learn how to create and use Bootstrap tags input. Bootstrap tags input is a jQuery plugin providing a Twitter Bootstrap user interface for managing tags.

Download plugin zip code from GitHub. Alternativally you can use CDN file. First include Bootstrap 3.3.5 CDN files into <head> tag. Then include Bootstrap tags input css and Javascript tags.
Usage
Place all css in the <head> tag and script tags before </body> tag ends. In the <input> tag, add data-role="tagsinput" attribute to automatically change it to a tags input field.
