Question 1

How do I customize the colors in PARTagPicker?

Accepted Answer

Use a PARTagColorReference object to set properties like highlightedTagTextColor and backgroundColor, then assign it to the tagController.tagColorRef. This is shown in the Swift example in the README.

Question 2

Does PARTagPicker work with Swift?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PARTagPicker is compatible with Swift, as demonstrated in the example code. You need to import the module and set up the controller similarly to the Objective-C version provided.

Question 3

PARTagPicker vs other iOS tag libraries – which one should I use?

Accepted Answer

PARTagPicker is a production-tested, customizable component with delegate callbacks, ideal for WordPress-style interfaces. For more modern or Swift-native alternatives, consider libraries like TagListView, but PARTagPicker offers a battle-tested solution with real app usage.

Question 4

How to handle new tag creation in PARTagPicker?

Accepted Answer

Set the allowsNewTags property to true on the controller. When users type a new tag, it will be added dynamically, and you can monitor changes via delegate methods like chosenTagsWereUpdatedInTagPicker.

Question 5

Is PARTagPicker still maintained?

Accepted Answer

The last update was v1.4.0 with a Swift example, but there's no recent activity on GitHub. Check the repository for open issues or pull requests to assess current maintenance status.

Question 6

Can I use PARTagPicker in a SwiftUI app?

Accepted Answer

Since PARTagPicker is a UIKit view controller, you can integrate it using UIViewControllerRepresentable in SwiftUI. However, this requires additional bridging code and might not be as seamless as native SwiftUI components.
