React Native Highlight Text

React Native component used to highlight words within a larger body of text. This is a fork of react-native-highlight-words which is a port of react-highlight-words.

Installation

Using npm:

yarn add @bam.tech/react-native-highlight-text

Usage

To use it, just provide it with an array of search terms and a body of text to highlight:

import HighlighText from 'r@bam.tech/react-native-highlight-text';

<HighlighText
  highlightStyle={{backgroundColor: 'yellow'}}
  searchWords={['and', 'or', 'the']}
  textToHighlight='The dog is chasing the cat. Or perhaps they're just playing?'
/>

And the HighlighText component will highlight all occurrences of search terms within the text:
