[Feature Request]: Separated tagging API

[TrigamDev]

This is for the far, far future, similar to the Core Library/API, but I'd love to see the tagging API be separated out into a library that any project can use.

What I have in mind is Rust library (given TagStudio Core is going to be written in Rust, or at least that's what I remember) in which you give it an SQLite table to associate the tags with, and it provides methods for creating tags, adding, editing, and removing tags, for searching through entries of the SQLite table, etc.

While this doesn't exactly benefit TagStudio itself much, but I believe this could be incredibly beneficial for others looking to implement tagging of arbitrary data into their project.

To clarify, this would be separate of TagStudio Core, and (I'd imagine) TagStudio Core would depend on this library.

i think what would be good for this suggestion is to first define what exactly the core should do and what it exposes. I personally lack much of the vision on this project to give any input on this, how would you imagine is looking?

TagStudio Core is the planned separation of the backend, which will be written in Rust (mentioned in the roadmap, under Post v10.0). This isn't a suggestion of mine, but is something that's already planned and hasn't had any involvement by me.

thanks for clarifying. i periodically check in with this project to see what has happened, so i wasn't aware

(Technically, TagStudio Core just refers to the core, backend part of TagStudio 😄)
