More Advanced Functionality Via Custom Controller #
If you feel like you want more functionality than what is offered from the default controller that comes with this widget, you can easily extend the controller's class to your own custom class and inherit all its functionality and add your own stuffs as bellow example shows.
Example: #
// Create my own custom controller
class MyCustomController extends TextfieldTagsController {
MyCustomController() : super();

//create your own methods
void myCustomMethod(){
}

//override the super class method
@override
set addTag(String tag) {
if(tag!='php'){
super.addTag = tag;
notifyListeners();
}else{
_error= '?';
}
}

//....
}

final _myCustomController = MyCustomController();
TextFieldTags(textfieldController: _myCustomController);
