Build a Rule-Based Product Tag Manager in Laravel 12.x — Step-by-Step Guide

In this article, we'll build a Product Tag Manager module in Laravel 12.x from scratch — step by step. The idea is simple: Admin adds products (name, price, SKU, vendor, type, image, etc.) Admin creates rules with conditions like vendor == Supp.X AND price > 10 When the admin clicks Apply Rule , the system scans all products, checks all conditions, and if all match → it auto-applies tags to that product No manual tagging. Pure rule-based automation.
