Tags input submits a string instead of an array

[heaven]

"tag_names"=>"Awesome,Test,Test 123"

The form field is defined like this:

f.input :tag_names, label: "Tags", as: :tags, collection: Tag.all.pluck(:name)

And inside the model I have:

def tag_names=(*names)
  self.tags = Tag.find_or_create_by_names(*names)
end

def tag_names
  self.tags.pluck(:name)
end

I'm new to this gem but why don't you do

f.input :tag_ids, label: "Tags", as: :tags, collection: Tag.all

@vccoffey the input is in the tags mode, which enables you to add new tags on the fly.
