To work with the with Taxonomy Repository, use the following Facade:

Methods

Querying

While the Taxonomy Repository does not have a Query Builder, you can still query for Terms inside Taxonomies with the queryTerms method. This approach can be useful for retrieving Terms with an existing Taxonomy object.

$tags = Taxonomy::find('tags');
 
$tags->queryTerms()->get();

When a taxonomy can't be found, the Taxonomy::find() method will return null. If you'd prefer an exception be thrown, you may use the findOrFail method:

Taxonomy::findOrFail('tags');

Creating

Start by making an instance of a taxonomy with the make method. You can pass the handle into it.

$taxonomy = Taxonomy::make('tags');

You may call additional methods on the taxonomy to customize it further.

$taxonomy
    ->title('Tags')
    ->cascade($data) // an array
    ->revisionsEnabled(false)
    ->searchIndex('tags')
    ->defaultPublishState('published') // or 'draft'
    ->sites(['one', 'two']) // array of handles

Finally, save it.

$taxonomy->save();
