## Import

```tsx
import { TagGroup } from 'heroui-native';
```

## Anatomy

```tsx
<TagGroup>
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="tag-1">
      <TagGroup.ItemLabel>...</TagGroup.ItemLabel>
      <TagGroup.ItemRemoveButton />
    </TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>
```

- **TagGroup**: Main container that manages tag selection state, disabled keys, and remove functionality. Provides size and variant context to all child components.
- **TagGroup.List**: Container for rendering the list of tags with optional empty state rendering.
- **TagGroup.Item**: Individual tag within the group. Supports string children (auto-wrapped in TagGroup.ItemLabel), render function children, or custom layouts.
- **TagGroup.ItemBackground**: Optional theme-aware background container rendered behind the tag surface. Mounted automatically for unselected items when the active theme registers default background content (e.g. `glass`); the fallback color follows the variant (`surface` or `default`). Replace or remove it via the `background` prop on `TagGroup.Item`.
- **TagGroup.ItemLabel**: Text label for the tag. Automatically rendered when string children are provided, or can be used explicitly.
- **TagGroup.ItemRemoveButton**: Remove button for the tag. Must be placed explicitly when removal is needed. Only functional when `onRemove` is provided to TagGroup.

## Usage

### Basic Usage

Display a simple tag group with selectable items.

```tsx
<TagGroup selectionMode="single">
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">News</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="travel">Travel</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="gaming">Gaming</TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>
```

### Single Selection Mode

Allow only one tag to be selected at a time.

```tsx
<TagGroup selectionMode="single" defaultSelectedKeys={['news']}>
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">News</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="travel">Travel</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="gaming">Gaming</TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>
```

### Multiple Selection Mode

Allow multiple tags to be selected simultaneously.

```tsx
<TagGroup selectionMode="multiple" defaultSelectedKeys={['news', 'travel']}>
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">News</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="travel">Travel</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="gaming">Gaming</TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>
```

### Controlled Selection

Control selection state with `selectedKeys` and `onSelectionChange`.

```tsx
const [selected, setSelected] = useState(new Set(['news']));

<TagGroup
  selectionMode="single"
  selectedKeys={selected}
  onSelectionChange={setSelected}
>
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">News</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="travel">Travel</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="gaming">Gaming</TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>;
```

### Variants

Apply different visual variants to the tags.

```tsx
<TagGroup selectionMode="single" variant="default">
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">News</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="travel">Travel</TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>

<TagGroup selectionMode="single" variant="surface">
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">News</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="travel">Travel</TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>
```

### Sizes

Control the size of all tags in the group.

```tsx
<TagGroup selectionMode="single" size="sm">
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">News</TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>

<TagGroup selectionMode="single" size="md">
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">News</TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>

<TagGroup selectionMode="single" size="lg">
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">News</TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>
```

### With Remove Button

Add remove buttons to tags by providing `onRemove` and placing `TagGroup.ItemRemoveButton` in each item.

```tsx
const [tags, setTags] = useState([
  { id: 'news', name: 'News' },
  { id: 'travel', name: 'Travel' },
]);

const onRemove = (keys) => {
  setTags((prev) => prev.filter((tag) => !keys.has(tag.id)));
};

<TagGroup selectionMode="single" onRemove={onRemove}>
  <TagGroup.List>
    {tags.map((tag) => (
      <TagGroup.Item key={tag.id} id={tag.id}>
        <TagGroup.ItemLabel>{tag.name}</TagGroup.ItemLabel>
        <TagGroup.ItemRemoveButton />
      </TagGroup.Item>
    ))}
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>;
```

### Render Function Children

Use a render function to access `isSelected` and `isDisabled` for custom layouts.

```tsx
<TagGroup selectionMode="single">
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">
      {({ isSelected }) => (
        <>
          <SquareArticleIcon
            size={16}
            colorClassName={
              isSelected
                ? 'accent-accent-soft-foreground'
                : 'accent-field-foreground'
            }
          />
          <TagGroup.ItemLabel>News</TagGroup.ItemLabel>
        </>
      )}
    </TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>
```

### Empty State

Render custom content when the list has no tags.

```tsx
<TagGroup onRemove={onRemove}>
  <TagGroup.List
    renderEmptyState={() => (
      <Text className="text-sm text-muted">No categories found</Text>
    )}
  >
    {tags.map((tag) => (
      <TagGroup.Item key={tag.id} id={tag.id}>
        <TagGroup.ItemLabel>{tag.name}</TagGroup.ItemLabel>
        <TagGroup.ItemRemoveButton />
      </TagGroup.Item>
    ))}
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>
```

### Disabled Tags

Disable individual tags or the entire group.

```tsx
<TagGroup selectionMode="single" disabledKeys={new Set(['travel'])}>
  <TagGroup.List>
    <TagGroup.Item id="news">News</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="travel">Travel</TagGroup.Item>
    <TagGroup.Item id="gaming" isDisabled>
      Gaming
    </TagGroup.Item>
  </TagGroup.List>
</TagGroup>
```

## Example

```tsx
import { TagGroup, Label, Description, FieldError } from 'heroui-native';
import { useState, useMemo } from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';

export default function TagGroupExample() {
  const [selected, setSelected] = useState(new Set());
  const isInvalid = useMemo(
    () => Array.from(selected).length === 0,
    [selected]
  );

  return (
    <View className="gap-4">
      <TagGroup
        selectedKeys={selected}
        selectionMode="multiple"
        onSelectionChange={setSelected}
        isInvalid={isInvalid}
      >
        <Label isInvalid={false}>Amenities</Label>
        <TagGroup.List>
          <TagGroup.Item id="laundry">Laundry</TagGroup.Item>
          <TagGroup.Item id="fitness">Fitness center</TagGroup.Item>
          <TagGroup.Item id="parking">Parking</TagGroup.Item>
          <TagGroup.Item id="pool">Swimming pool</TagGroup.Item>
          <TagGroup.Item id="breakfast">Breakfast</TagGroup.Item>
        </TagGroup.List>
        <Description hideOnInvalid>
          {`Selected: ${Array.from(selected).join(', ')}`}
        </Description>
        <FieldError>Please select at least one category</FieldError>
      </TagGroup>
    </View>
  );
}
```
