This gem is perfect for developers looking to implement custom tagging strategies tailored to their unique requirements. With support for custom delimiters, flexible parsing options, and efficient data aggregation, Metka turns the challenge of managing tags into a straightforward task.

Features

• Custom Delimiter: By default, tags are separated by commas, but you can easily set your own custom separator to fit your needs.

• ActiveRecord Strategy: The default method to calculate tag statistics, allowing easy access to tagging information via model class methods without requiring additional setup.

• View Strategy: Aggregate tagging data in an SQL View, which can help in storing tag aggregations in a distinct model without significant performance drawbacks.

• Flexible Query Methods: Utilize various querying methods such as .with_all_, .with_any_, .without_all_, and .without_any_ to find tagged objects according to specific criteria.

• Migration Generation: Automatically generate migrations to create views or set up tagged columns as required, streamlining the database setup process.

• Comprehensive Tag Statistics: Easily access tag aggregation data from multiple tagged columns, providing a holistic view of tag occurrences across different datasets.
