Tag.TagEntity

Tag

Tags use text to label card and sticky note items.
Tags help classify and categorize information to make it easier to retrieve.

After creating a tag on a board, you can attach it to the following items:

• Cards
• Sticky notes

ℹ️ Note:

• title is required.
• If no color is specified, it defaults to red.
• Card and sticky note items can have up to 8 tags.
• Boards can have up to 100 tags in total.

Example:

// Create a tag
const todo = await miro.board.createTag({
  title: 'todo or not todo, that is the question',
  color: 'yellow',
});

// Create a sticky note and attach the tag to it
const stickyNote = await miro.board.createStickyNote({
  content: "sticky note with tag: 'todo'",
  tagIds: [todo.id],
});

// Get the ID of the tag attached to the item
console.log(stickyNote.tagIds); // => ['3074457345627244742']

// Output the created item to the developer console
console.log(todo);

Methods

sync

▸ sync(): Promise<void>

sync propagates to the board any changes to item and tag properties.
After updating the properties of an item or a tag, sync it with the board to:

• Propagate to the board the changes applied to the item or to the tag.
• Make the changes visible on the board.

All board items and tags require sync to make any changes to their properties visible on the board.

For more information and examples, see Update and sync item properties.

Example (tag):

// Create a tag
const todo = await miro.board.createTag({
  title: 'todo',
  color: 'yellow',
});

// Create a sticky note and attach the tag to it
const stickyNote = await miro.board.createStickyNote({
  content: 'sticky note with tag: "todo"',
  tagIds: [todo.id],
});
console.log(stickyNote.tagIds); // => ['3074457345627244742']

// Update the tag title and color
todo.title = "won't fix";
todo.color = 'green';

// Call 'sync' to make the changed title and color of the tag visible on the board
await todo.sync();

// Output the updated tag to the developer console
console.log(todo);
