Quick start

from Custom_Widgets.QTagEdit import QTagEdit

widget = QTagEdit()
widget.setTagSuggestions(["python", "qt", "pyside6", "pyqt5", "widgets"])
widget.setTags(["python", "qt", "pyside6", "widgets"])

That is the exact code behind the screenshot above.

Dark theme

Colours come from the design tokens, so the widget follows the app theme with no extra work.
