The class is defined as a static class in the header file TagManager.h.

#include <hgui/header/TagManager.h>

int main() {

    std::string tag1 = hgui::TagManager::create_tag("Tag1");
    std::string tag2 = hgui::TagManager::create_tag("Tag2");
    std::string tag3 = hgui::TagManager::create_tag("Tag3");

    hgui::TagManager::set_current_tag("Tag2");

    // Get the list of all created tags
    const std::vector<std::string>& allTags = hgui::TagManager::get_tags();

    // Get the current active tag
    const std::string& currentTag = hgui::TagManager::get_current_tag();

    // Output the list of tags and the current tag
    std::cout << "All Tags: ";
    for (const std::string& tag : allTags) {
        std::cout << tag << " ";

    return 0;
}
