- I'm currently using the react-highlight-words package to highlight text inputted into a textbox
- After checking out the react-highlight-words documentation, I noticed that they are using searchWords as an array. https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-highlight-words
- However, I encountered an error when passing it an array with
let searchBarText = [];, saying searchWords.filter is not a function. - Could you help me figure out how to resolve this issue so I can address similar problems on my own in the future?
- Below are links to my sandbox and code snippet for reference.
https://codesandbox.io/s/00nm6k8orp
class SearchBar extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.state = {
// testHighlight: {}
testHighlight: []
};
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
}
handleChange(e) {
console.log(e.target.value); // your search bar text
let object = document.getElementById("myDiv");
console.log(object.textContent); // your div text
// now that you have the two strings you can do your search in your favorite way, for example:
let searchBarText = [];
searchBarText = e.target.value;
console.log("searchBarText --->", searchBarText);
let divText = object.textContent;
console.log("divText --->", divText);
if (divText.includes(searchBarText)) {
console.log("the div text contains your search text");
} else {
console.log("the div text doesn't contain search text");
}
// this.setState({ testHighlight: response.data });
this.setState({ testHighlight: searchBarText });
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<input
type="text"
className="input"
onChange={this.handleChange}
placeholder="Search..."
// highlightText={this.handleChange}
testHighlight={this.state.testHighlight}
/>
<HighlighterImplementation testHighlight={this.state.testHighlight} />
</div>
);
}
}
