Martin Anderson-Clutz - @mandclu Tagify

• Brief description:
  • Provides an entity reference widget that's more user friendly: visually styles as tags (without showing the reference ID), drag to sort, and more
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Mar 2023
• Versions available:
  • 1.0.19, which works wth Drupal >8.8, 9, and 10
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained, latest release in the past week
• Number of open issues:
  • 4, one of which is a bug
• Usage stats:
  • 177 sites
• Maintainer(s):
  • gxleano (David Galeano), who I got to meet in person at Drupal Dev Days
• Module features and usage
  • Tagify is a popular JS library, so this module is a Drupal integration for that
  • Features in the module include deactivating labels when the field's max number of entries has been reached, allowing the creation of new tags when the field has been configured to allow that, and so on
  • Will automatically disallow duplicate tags
  • Includes a User List submodule specifically for user reference fields, which also shows the user's profile pic in the tag
  • Project page has animated GIFs that demonstrate how many of these features work
  • A module I started using on my own blog, nice and simple UX. I could see the drag to sort be really useful, for example if you wanted the first term reference to be used in a pathauto pattern
