Array Only

Bind the TagBox to an array by passing it to the dataSource property. The array may contain primitive values...

You can create a Query if objects in an array need to be processed (sorted, filtered, grouped, etc.). For example, in the following code, a Query sorts objects in the products array by the price field in descending order:

jQuery
JavaScript
const products = [
    { name: "SuperHD Video Player", price: 500 },
    { name: "HD Video Player", price: 100 },
    // ...
];

$(function() {
    $("#tagBoxContainer").dxTagBox({
        dataSource: DevExpress.data.query(products)
                        .sortBy("price", true)
                        .toArray(),
        valueExpr: 'price',
        displayExpr: 'name'
    });
});
Angular
HTML
TypeScript
<dx-tag-box ...
    valueExpr="price"
    displayExpr="name"
    dataSource="getSortedProducts()">
</dx-tag-box>
import query from "devextreme/data/query";
import { DxTagBoxModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    products = [
        { name: "SuperHD Video Player", price: 500 },
        { name: "HD Video Player", price: 100 },
        // ...
    ];
    getSortedProducts () {
        return query(this.products)
                .sortBy("price", true)
                .toArray();
    }
