replace the Package variable in the source code above with the path to the Fusion module.

Tag behaves identically to the Children special key except it adds and removes tags from the target instance.

Example usage:

local Fusion = require(Path.To.Fusion)
local Tags = require(Path.To.FusionTags)

local Scope = Fusion.scoped(Fusion)

Scope:New "Frame" {
    [Tags] = "MyTag"
}
