Basic example of Tagify attached to an input element:
// The DOM elements you wish to replace with Tagify
var input1 = document.querySelector("#kt_tagify_1");
var input2 = document.querySelector("#kt_tagify_2");

</div>

Countries With Flags Examples

Initialize Tagify programmatically and control the country flags via Javascript.
var tagify = new Tagify(document.querySelector('#kt_tagify_country'), {
    delimiters: null,
    templates: {
        tag: function (tagData) {
            const countryPath = 'assets/media/flags/' + tagData.value.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, '-') + '.svg';
            try {
                // _ESCAPE_START_
                return `<tag title='${tagData.value}' contenteditable='false' spellcheck="false" 
                    class='tagify__tag ${tagData.class ? tagData.class : ""}' ${this.getAttributes(tagData)}>
                        <x title='remove tag' class='tagify__tag__removeBtn'></x>
                        <div class="d-flex align-items-center">
                            ${tagData.code ?
                        `<img onerror="this.style.visibility = 'hidden'" class="w-25px rounded-circle me-2" src='${countryPath}' />` : ''
                    }
                            <span class='tagify__tag-text'>${tagData.value}</span>

                // _ESCAPE_END_
            }
            catch (err) { }
        },

        dropdownItem: function (tagData) {
            const countryPath = 'assets/media/flags/' + tagData.value.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, '-') + '.svg';
            try {

            catch (err) { }
        }
    },
    enforceWhitelist: true,

        enabled: 1, // suggest tags after a single character input
        classname: 'extra-properties' // custom class for the suggestions dropdown
    } // map tags' values to this property name, so this property will be the actual value and not the printed value on the screen
})

// add the first 2 tags and makes them readonly
var tagsToAdd = tagify.settings.whitelist.slice(0, 2);
tagify.addTags(tagsToAdd);
<label class="form-label">Country Tags</label>
<input class="form-control d-flex align-items-center" value="" id="kt_tagify_country" />

Users With Photos Examples

var inputElm = document.querySelector('#kt_tagify_users');

const usersList = [
    { value: 1, name: 'Emma Smith', avatar: 'avatars/300-6.jpg', email: 'e.smith@kpmg.com.au' },

Sizes

Apply the standard Bootstrap input sizes .form-control-smand .form-control-lg:
// The DOM elements you wish to replace with Tagify
var input1 = document.querySelector("#kt_tagify_3");
var input2 = document.querySelector("#kt_tagify_4");
var input2 = document.querySelector("#kt_tagify_5");

// Initialize Tagify components on the above inputs
new Tagify(input1);
new Tagify(input2);
new Tagify(input3);
<input class="form-control form-control-sm form-control-solid" value="tag1, tag2, tag3" id="kt_tagify_3"/>
<input class="form-control form-control-solid" value="tag1, tag2, tag3" id="kt_tagify_4"/>
<input class="form-control form-control-lg form-control-solid" value="tag1, tag2, tag3" id="kt_tagify_5"/>

Suggestions

A dropdown with suggestions will appear immediately when Tagify has focus.
// The DOM elements you wish to replace with Tagify
var input = document.querySelector("#kt_tagify_6");
var input = document.querySelector("#kt_tagify_7");

// Initialize Tagify script on the above inputs
new Tagify(input, {
    whitelist: ["Ada", "Adenine", "Agda", "Agilent VEE"],
    maxTags: 10,
    dropdown: {
        maxItems: 20,           // <- mixumum allowed rendered suggestions
        classname: "tagify__inline__suggestions", // <- custom classname for this dropdown, so it could be targeted
        enabled: 0,             // <- show suggestions on focus
        closeOnSelect: false    // <- do not hide the suggestions dropdown once an item has been selected
    }
});

new Tagify(input, {
    whitelist: ["Ada", "Adenine", "Agda", "Agilent VEE"],
    maxTags: 10,
    dropdown: {
        maxItems: 20,           // <- mixumum allowed rendered suggestions
        classname: "", // <- custom classname for this dropdown, so it could be targeted
        enabled: 0,             // <- show suggestions on focus
        closeOnSelect: false    // <- do not hide the suggestions dropdown once an item has been selected
    }
});
<input class="form-control form-control-solid" value="css, html, javascript" id="kt_tagify_6"/>

<input class="form-control form-control-solid" value="css, html, javascript" id="kt_tagify_7"/>

External Suggestions

Allows to select suggestions from an external container.
Suggested: Bootstrap, Angular, React, Vue
var input = document.querySelector('#kt_tagify_custom'),

// Init Tagify script on the above inputs
tagify = new Tagify(input, {
    whitelist: ["Bootstrap", "Angular", "React", "Vue"],
    placeholder: "Type something",
    enforceWhitelist: true
});

// Suggestions
var suggestions = document.querySelector('#kt_tagify_custom_suggestions');

// Suggestion item click
KTUtil.on(suggestions,  '[data-kt-suggestion="true"]', 'click', function(e) {
    tagify.addTags([this.innerText]);
});
<div class="mb-0">
    <label class="form-label">External Suggestions</label>
    <input class="form-control form-control-solid" value="Bootstrap" id="kt_tagify_custom"/>
    <div class="pt-3">
        <span class="text-gray-700">Suggested:</span>
        
        <span class="text-danger" id="kt_tagify_custom_suggestions">
            <span class="cursor-pointer" data-kt-suggestion="true">Bootstrap</span>,
            <span class="cursor-pointer" data-kt-suggestion="true">Angular</span>,
            <span class="cursor-pointer" data-kt-suggestion="true">React</span>,
            <span class="cursor-pointer" data-kt-suggestion="true">Vue</span>
        </span>
    </div>
</div>

Readonly Mode

If the original input field has a readonly attribute, then, via CSS, there will be no way of manually adding tags because the inline contenteditable element will be hidden.
// The DOM elements you wish to replace with Tagify
var input1 = document.querySelector("#kt_tagify_8");

// Initialize Tagify components on the above inputs
new Tagify(input1);
<input class="form-control form-control-solid" value="css, html, javascript" readonly id="kt_tagify_8"/>
