TaggableTextView

Customizable UITextView subclass that supports tagging.

How to use it.

You need to subclass TaggableTextView and do this:

//REQUIRED
_text_view = [[TaggableTextViewSubclass alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(20, 200, 280, 100)];
[_text_view setText:@"This text is taggable"];

//Optional customization
_text_view.tagPrefix = @"#"; // It is '@' by default

//These Will be initialized with Just alloc-init
_text_view.tableViewClass = [YourTableViewSubclass class];
_text_view.textFieldClass = [YourTextFieldSubclass class];

//REQUIRED
[_text_view makeTaggable];
[self.view addSubview:_text_view];

Data Source

You can give it all your tags like:

_text_view.tagSource = @[@"Deep Patel", @"whoever else"];

Or if you are pulling from an api you can subclass TaggableTextView and implement:

-(NSArray*) tagsForQuery: (NSString*) query;

The Tag event

-(void) didTagItemAt: (NSNumber*) i;

Make sure you implement this in your subclass. It gives you the index of the tagged element in tagSource
