Yii2 Taxonomy management. A component which adds generic taxonomy functionalities to your application. The component comes with a couple of term definitions(tags, properties). These additional info is added via addition tables created by the extension. The extension also offers a search behavior which can be attached to AR instances for easier searching.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

Either run

```
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist nkostadinov/yii2-taxonomy "*"

```

or add

```
"nkostadinov/yii2-taxonomy": "*"

```

to the require section of your `composer.json` file.

Then you need to configure the taxonomy component to your configuration file.

```
    'components' => [
        .......
        'taxonomy' => [
            'class' => 'nkostadinov\taxonomy\Taxonomy',
        ],
        .......

```

Finally you need to run the initial migration

```
yii migrate --migrationPath=@nkostadinov/taxonomy/migrations

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

If you need to use the management interface for taxonomies you must add the Taxonomy module to you configuration

```
    'modules' => [
        ......
        'taxonomy' => [
            'class' => 'nkostadinov\taxonomy\Module'
        ],

```

It is recommended to use the taxonomy *MODULE* only on dev environment to create the taxonomies just like gii. When you add a taxonomy via the interface the component creates a migration so you can execute it on production later.

Sample usage (tags): //return a taxonomy object used to manipulate this taxonomy(taxonomy must be defined before that and the migrations executed)

```
$taxonomy = Yii::$app->taxonomy->getTerm('post_tags');

```

//Adding terms (e.g. tags) to an object with id $post\_id

```
$taxonomy->addTerm($post_id, ['read', 'important', 'new']);

```

//Deleting tags

```
$taxonomy->removeTerm($post_id, ['important', 'new']);

```

//Retrieving tags

```
$taxonomy->getTerms($this->id);

```

// returns \['read'\]

Taxonomies
