[CLOSED] Tags as floating words and rearranging int textarea?

[rthiney]

If I wanted to, could I use tags to float them around in a textarea to allow users to create sentences from words?
Ideally, I'd want to preserve the order of the tags..

Is this doable? If so, where should I start looking?

Hi @rthiney,

A user should be able to drag&drop the tags by mouse, right?

Is is supposed to be multiple lines there? Probably, yes, if you are talking about a TextArea...

Well, I don't think there is a good possibility to achieve it with a TextArea.

Also a TagLabel/TagField doesn't support reordering by drag&drop.

I would think about the HBox layout which supports reordering:
https://examples2.ext.net/#/Layout/H...ut/Reordering/

You could put a tag-looking component (implemented by your own) to there instead of Panels. But it will be the single line... It might be difficult to get multiple lines.

What about just in text field?
