How do I implement the tagging in the component using Java Model Class?

[Ameen_Dev]

Actually, I trying to implement tagging in the component as a list of values to choose and store in the node.  I don't have any idea about doing this. All I know is to use the java model class to get the tagging value and save it in the node.

Kindly help me to achieve this. I really appreciate the help.

You must use the TagManager API to solve your problem.

TagManager allows for resolving and creating tags by paths and names. This interface is generic, but there is a JCR-based reference implementation which can be obtained by the JcrTagManagerFactory - all you need is an existing JCR Session

TagManager tagManager = JcrTagManagerFactory.getTagManager(session);
 

In the typical Sling context you can also adapt to a TagManager from the ResourceResolver:

 TagManager tagManager = resourceResolver.adaptTo(TagManager.class);

and then you can perform your actions.

Few examples you can refer - https://www.programcreek.com/java-api-examples/?api=com.day.cq.tagging.TagManager

@Ameen_Dev If it is about custom property on the resource, then it is an usual way of retrieving properties from a resource which is via ValueMap.

Then the value retrieved can be resolved as a tag object. 

@Model(adaptable=Resource.class)

public class myClass {

@Self

Resource resource;

@PostConstruct

public void init() {

  PageManager pm = resource.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(PageManager.class);

  Page containingPage = pm.getContainingPage (resource);

  ValueMap pageProperties = containingPage.getProperties();
  String tagStr = pageProperties .get("custom-property-name", String.class); 
  if(null != tagStr){     
     Tag actualTag =  tagManager.resolve(tagStr);

     //after this you can add your custom business logic, what you want to do with your tag i.e. read tag title, etc. 
   }
}

Another way: 

Tag[] getTags(Resource resource)

Retrieves the tags set on the given resource. Will return tag objects representing the whole repository.

Code Snippet :

public List<String> getTagIds(Resource resource) {
  final TagManager tagManager = resourceResolver.adaptTo(TagManager.class);
  final List<String> tagIds = new ArrayList<String>();
  for (Tag tag : tagManager.getTags(resource)) {
    tagIds.add(tag.getTagID());
  }
  return tagIds;
}

I have written a piece of code to get my scenario. Right now, I am able to get only the particular tag by giving the array number but actually, I need to get all the tags and show them as a dropdown so that the author can choose whatever he wants. Here is the code below. Kindly help.

package com.project.core.models.impl;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;

import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;
import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource;
import org.apache.sling.api.resource.ResourceResolver;
import org.apache.sling.models.annotations.Model;
import org.apache.sling.models.annotations.Optional;

import com.day.cq.tagging.Tag;

import com.project.core.models.PlanCards;

@Model(adaptables = {Resource.class, SlingHttpServletRequest.class},
		 adapters = { PlanCards.class}, 
		 resourceType = {PlanCardsImpl.RESOURCE_TYPE})

public class PlanCardsImpl implements PlanCards {
	private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(PlanCardsImpl.class);

    /**
     * The resource type.
     */
    protected static final String RESOURCE_TYPE = "project/components/nwt/slider";

    @SlingObject
    @Optional
    private Resource currentRes;

    @Self
    @Optional
    private SlingHttpServletRequest request;

    @SlingObject
    private ResourceResolver resourceResolver;
    
    @ValueMapValue(injectionStrategy = InjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL)
	private String dataUses;
   
    @Override
	public String getDataUses() {
		return dataUses;
	}

	public void setDataUses(String dataUses) {
		this.dataUses = dataUses;
	}

	@PostConstruct
	  protected void init() {
		String plancardTag = "/content/cq:tags/project/plan-cards/data-uses";
		LOG.info("int() --> Plan cards default value");
		final TagManager tagManager = currentRes.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(TagManager.class);
	    final List<String> filterTagList = new ArrayList<>();
	    LOG.info("Product Details Filter tag path:: {}", plancardTag);
	    if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(plancardTag)) {
	      final Tag tag = tagManager.resolve(plancardTag);
	      if (null != tag) {
	        tag.listChildren().forEachRemaining(childtag -> {
	          filterTagList.add(childtag.getTitle());
	          LOG.info("childtag.getName():: {}", childtag.getName());
	        });
	      }
	    }
	    LOG.info("filterTagList:: {}", filterTagList.toString());
	    if (StringUtils.isBlank(dataUses)) {
	    	this.dataUses = filterTagList.get(1);
	    }

	  }
}

Hi @Ameen_Dev ,

You can use ValueMap for tags that are authored on a custom component and InheritanceValueMap for tags authored on Page Properties in Sling Model as below :

Model Class for Custom Component :

@Model(adaptables = SlingHttpServletRequest.class, defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL)
public class TagModel {

    @Inject
    private ValueMap valueMap;

    @Self
    private SlingHttpServletRequest request;

    @PostConstruct
    protected void init() {
        //Getting all Tags from ValueMap
        String[] allTags = valueMap.get("customTagName", String[].class);
        TagManager tagManager = request.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(TagManager.class);
        for (String tags : allTags) {
            Tag tag = tagManager.resolve(tags);
            //Custom Code using custom Tags
        }
    }
}

 Model Class for Page Properties Tags:

@Model(adaptables = SlingHttpServletRequest.class, defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL)
public class TagModel {

    @Inject
    private InheritanceValueMap pageProperties;

    @Self
    private SlingHttpServletRequest request;

    @PostConstruct
    protected void init() {
        //Getting all Tags from InheritanceValueMap
        String[] allTags = pageProperties.get("cq:Tags", String[].class);
        TagManager tagManager = request.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(TagManager.class);
        for (String tags : allTags) {
            Tag tag = tagManager.resolve(tags);
            //Custom Code using Page Properties Tags
        }
    }
} 

In the above Model class, you can set up a getter as per your need.

Also, you can call Sling Model in Sightly as 

<sly data-sly-use.modelObject="${'com.adobe.learning.core.models.TagModel'}">

Hope this will help you!!!

Regards,

Shiv
