title: TagInput
tags: visual,input,intermediate
---

Renders an input field to add tags.

- Define a `TagInput` component and use `React.useState()` hook to initialize an empty array of tags.
- Use `Array.prototype.map` on collected nodes to render the list of tags.
- Define `addTab`, which will be executed on pressing `Enter` key.
- `addTab` uses the `setTabs` to add the new tag using the `spread` operator to prepend the existing tags and adds the new tag at the end of the tags array.
- Define `removeTab`, which will executed on clicking the delete icon in the tag.
- Use the `Array.prototyp.filter` in `removeTab` to remove the tag using the `index` of the tag to filter it out from tags array.
