Basic usage

import { TagCloud } from 'react-tagcloud'

const data = [
  { value: 'JavaScript', count: 38 },
  { value: 'React', count: 30 },
  { value: 'Nodejs', count: 28 },
  { value: 'Express.js', count: 25 },
  { value: 'HTML5', count: 33 },
  { value: 'MongoDB', count: 18 },
  { value: 'CSS3', count: 20 },
]

const SimpleCloud = () => (
  <TagCloud
    minSize={12}
    maxSize={35}
    tags={data}
    onClick={tag => alert(`'${tag.value}' was selected!`)}
  />
)

React Native

In react native projects import tag cloud from the package relative path react-tagcloud/rn.

import React from 'react';

import { Alert } from 'react-native';
import { TagCloud } from 'react-tagcloud/rn'

const data = [
  // ...
]

const SimpleCloud = () => (
  <TagCloud
    minSize={12}
    maxSize={35}
    tags={data}
    onPress={tag => Alert.alert(`'${tag.value}' was selected!`)}
  />
)

API

Options

<TagCloud /> component has props listed below:

| Option | Type | Required | Note | |-----------|----------|--------|---| |tags |Array |true|Array of objects that represent tags (see Tag object)| |maxSize |Number |true |Maximal font size (in px) used in cloud| |minSize |Number |true |Minimal font size (in px) used in cloud| |shuffle |Boolean |false|If true, tags are shuffled. When tags are modified, cloud is re-shuffled. Default: true| |colorOptions |Object |false|Random color options (see randomColor#options)| |disableRandomColor |Boolean |false|If true, random color is not used| |randomSeed |Number |false|Random seed used to shuffle tags and generate color| |renderer |Function|false|Function used to render tag| |randomNumberGenerator|Function|false|DEPRECATED, use randomSeed instead. Specifies a custom random number generator that is being used by shuffle algorithm. Default: Math.random|

Note: Furthermore you can pass any other prop and it will be forwarded to the wrapping <div /> component (e.g. style, className).

Tag object

Each tag is represented by object literal having following properties:

| Property | Type | Required | Note | |----------|------|----------|------| |value|String|true |String value to be displayed| |count|Number|true |Represents frequency of the tag that is used to calculate tag size| |key |String|false|Tag element key. If it is not provided, value property will be used instead (however it can fail if you don't have unique tag values. It is highly recommeded to use key property)| |color|String|false|Represents color of the tag. If it is not provided, random color will be used instead| |props|Object|false|Props to be passed to a particular tag component|

Events

Event handlers can be passed to the <TagCloud /> props. Each handler has two arguments: the first is related tag object and the second is DOM event object.

Currently supported events: onClick, onDoubleClick, onMouseMove

Note: Feel free to open issue if any other event is needed.

Styles

Default class names are tag-cloud for the wrapping container, and tag-cloud-tag for a particular tag. Styles passed to <TagCloud /> props will be applied to the wrapping container.

Renderer

Rendering of tags can be fully customized by providing custom render function and passing it to the renderer prop. By default is used defaultRenderer. Render function has three arguments - tag, size and color. For example:

import { TagCloud } from 'react-tagcloud'

const customRenderer = (tag, size, color) => {
  return (
    <span key={tag.value} style={{ color }} className={`tag-${size}`}>
      {tag.value}
    </span>
  )
}

const CustomizedCloud = () => (
  <TagCloud tags={data} minSize={1} maxSize={5} renderer={customRenderer} />
)
