Support for pasting a list of items

[mmezzacca]

When typing a new tag the comma automatically performs the same function as hitting enter (creates a new tag). When pasting (Ctrl+V) a list of comma separated words/tags (eg. tennis, baseball, hockey, sports) the functionality is lost. Hitting comma or enter after pasting will cause the whole string to become one large tag "tennis, baseball, hockey, sports" instead of automatically splitting them up.

Probably a feature request more than an issue.

Hi,

is this already working in your branch?

no...

Take a look at my fork where I've provided a custom parsing function which can be used to split the comma separated words/tags.

@garjitech - Thanks that seems to work. A couple things.

1. When using autoComplete, if a value has a comma in it (eg. "Common, Quail"), the parsing will split it into two different entries (Common | Quail) and with the same name (eg. tag[2-a]).

2. I added $.trim() to ensure whitespace isn't an issue when pasting a list that maybe comman space seperated
   (eg. tennis, baseball, football).

Here's the simple comma parsing code (the email parsing removed) which handles pasting a list:

        parseValues: function(values) {
            var parsedVals = [];
            var splitVals = values.split(',');
            for(var i=0; i<splitVals.length; i++){
                var value = $.trim(splitVals[i]);
                parsedVals.push({ 
                    id:'', 
                    label:value, 
                    value:value
                });
            }
            return parsedVals;
        }
