Using

Relational Tags

use SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject;

class BlogPost extends DataObject
{
	private static $many_many = [
		'BlogTags' => BlogTag::class
	];
}

use SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject;

class BlogTag extends DataObject
{
	private static $db = [
		'Title' => 'Varchar(200)',
	];

	private static $belongs_many_many = [
		'BlogPosts' => BlogPost::class
	];
}

$field = TagField::create(
	'BlogTags',
	'Blog Tags',
	BlogTag::get(),
	$this->BlogTags()
)
	->setShouldLazyLoad(true) // tags should be lazy loaded
	->setCanCreate(true);     // new tag DataObjects can be created

String Tags

use SilverStripe\ORM\DataObject;

class BlogPost extends DataObject
{
	private static $db = [
		'Tags' => 'Text',
	];
}

$field = StringTagField::create(
	'Tags',
	'Tags',
    ['one', 'two'],
	explode(',', $this->Tags)
);

$field->setShouldLazyLoad(true); // tags should be lazy loaded
