 'id' => Schema::TYPE_PK,
 'title' => Schema::TYPE_STRING . ' NOT NULL',
 'body' => Schema::TYPE_TEXT . ' NOT NULL',
]);

Run the following command

$ yii migrate/create create_tag_table

Open the /path/to/migrations/m_xxxxxx_xxxxxx_create_tag_table.php file, inside the up() method add the following

$this->createTable('{{%tag}}', [
 'id' => Schema::TYPE_PK,
 'name' => Schema::TYPE_STRING . ' NOT NULL',
 'frequency' => Schema::TYPE_INTEGER . ' NOT NULL DEFAULT 0',
]);

Run the following command

$ yii migrate/create create_post_tag_assn_table

Open the /path/to/migrations/m_xxxxxx_xxxxxx_create_post_tag_assn_table.php file, inside the up() method add the following

$this->createTable('{{%post_tag_assn}}', [
 'post_id' => Schema::TYPE_INTEGER . ' NOT NULL',
 'tag_id' => Schema::TYPE_INTEGER . ' NOT NULL',
]);

$this->addPrimaryKey('', '{{%post_tag_assn}}', ['post_id', 'tag_id']);

Configuring

Configure model as follows

use creocoder\taggable\TaggableBehavior;

/**
 * ...
 * @property string $tagValues
 */
class Post extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
{
 public function behaviors()
 {
 return [
 'taggable' => [
 'class' => TaggableBehavior::className(),
 // 'tagValuesAsArray' => false,
 // 'tagRelation' => 'tags',
 // 'tagValueAttribute' => 'name',
 // 'tagFrequencyAttribute' => 'frequency',
 ],
 ];
 }

 public function rules()
 {
 return [
 //...
 ['tagValues', 'safe'],
 ];
 }

 public function transactions()
 {
 return [
 self::SCENARIO_DEFAULT => self::OP_ALL,
 ];
 }

 public static function find()
 {
 return new PostQuery(get_called_class());
 }

 public function getTags()
 {
 return $this->hasMany(Tag::className(), ['id' => 'tag_id'])
 ->viaTable('{{%post_tag_assn}}', ['post_id' => 'id']);
 }
}

Model Tag can be generated using Gii.

Configure query class as follows

use creocoder\taggable\TaggableQueryBehavior;

class PostQuery extends \yii\db\ActiveQuery
{
 public function behaviors()
 {
 return [
 TaggableQueryBehavior::className(),
 ];
 }
}

Usage

Setting tags to the entity

To set tags to the entity

$post = new Post();

// through string
$post->tagValues = 'foo, bar, baz';

// through array
$post->tagValues = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];

Adding tags to the entity

To add tags to the entity

$post = Post::findOne(1);

// through string
$post->addTagValues('bar, baz');

// through array
$post->addTagValues(['bar', 'baz']);

Remove tags from the entity

To remove tags from the entity

$post = Post::findOne(1);

// through string
$post->removeTagValues('bar, baz');

// through array
$post->removeTagValues(['bar', 'baz']);

Remove all tags from the entity

To remove all tags from the entity

$post = Post::findOne(1);
$post->removeAllTagValues();

Getting tags from the entity

To get tags from the entity

$posts = Post::find()->with('tags')->all();

foreach ($posts as $post) {
 // as string
 $tagValues = $post->tagValues;

 // as array
 $tagValues = $post->getTagValues(true);
}

Return type of getTagValues can also be configured globally via tagValuesAsArray property.

Checking for tags in the entity

To check for tags in the entity

$post = Post::findOne(1);

// through string
$result = $post->hasTagValues('foo, bar');

// through array
$result = $post->hasTagValues(['foo', 'bar']);

Search entities by any tags

To search entities by any tags

// through string
$posts = Post::find()->anyTagValues('foo, bar')->all();

// through array
$posts = Post::find()->anyTagValues(['foo', 'bar'])->all();

To search entities by any tags using custom tag model attribute

// through string
$posts = Post::find()->anyTagValues('foo-slug, bar-slug', 'slug')->all();

// through array
$posts = Post::find()->anyTagValues(['foo-slug', 'bar-slug'], 'slug')->all();

Search entities by all tags

To search entities by all tags

// through string
$posts = Post::find()->allTagValues('foo, bar')->all();

// through array
$posts = Post::find()->allTagValues(['foo', 'bar'])->all();

To search entities by all tags using custom tag model attribute

// through string
$posts = Post::find()->allTagValues('foo-slug, bar-slug', 'slug')->all();

// through array
$posts = Post::find()->allTagValues(['foo-slug', 'bar-slug'], 'slug')->all();

Search entities related by tags

To search entities related by tags

// through string
$posts = Post::find()->relatedByTagValues('foo, bar')->all();

// through array
$posts = Post::find()->relatedByTagValues(['foo', 'bar'])->all();

To search entities related by tags using custom tag model attribute

// through string
$posts = Post::find()->relatedByTagValues('foo-slug, bar-slug', 'slug')->all();
