API

match(text, query, options)

Calculates the characters to highlight in text based on query.

It returns an array of pairs. Every pair [a, b] means that text.slice(a, b) should be highlighted.

Options are passed as JSON.

Examples

We match at the beginning of a word by default:

var match = require('autosuggest-highlight/match');

// text indices:     012345678
// highlighting:          vv
var matches = match('some text', 'te'); // [[5, 7]]

// text indices:     012345678
// highlighting:
var matches = match('some text', 'e'); // []

Enable search inside words:

var match = require('autosuggest-highlight/match');

// text indices:     012345678
// highlighting:       v
var matches = match('some text', 'm', { insideWords: true }); // [[2, 3]]

When query is a single word, only the first match is returned by default:

// text indices:     012345678901234
// highlighting:     v
var matches = match('some sweet text', 's'); // [[0, 1]]

You'll get the second match, if query contains multiple words:

// text indices:     012345678901234
// highlighting:     v    v
var matches = match('some sweet text', 's s'); // [[0, 1], [5, 6]]

Or using the findAllOccurrences option:

// text indices:     012345678901234
// highlighting:     v    v
var matches = match('some sweet text', 's', { findAllOccurrences: true }); // [[0, 1], [5, 6]]

Matches are case insensitive:

// text indices:     012345678
// highlighting:          v
var matches = match('Some Text', 't'); // [[5, 6]]

and diacritics are removed:

// text indices:     0123456
// highlighting:     vvvv
var matches = match('Déjà vu', 'deja'); // [[0, 4]]

When query has multiple words, the order doesn't matter:

// text indices:     012345678901234
// highlighting:     v      v
var matches = match('Albert Einstein', 'a e'); // [[0, 1], [7, 8]]

// text indices:     012345678901234
// highlighting:     v      v
var matches = match('Albert Einstein', 'e a'); // [[0, 1], [7, 8]]

parse(text, matches)

Breaks the given text to parts based on matches.

It returns an array of text parts by specifying whether each part should be highlighted or not.

For example:

var parse = require('autosuggest-highlight/parse');

// text indices:   0123456789012345
// highlighting:          vv   v
var parts = parse('Pretty cool text', [[7, 9], [12, 13]]);
/*
  [
    {
      text: 'Pretty ',
      highlight: false
    },
    {
      text: 'co',
      highlight: true
    },
    {
      text: 'ol ',
      highlight: false
    },
    {
      text: 't',
      highlight: true
    },
    {
      text: 'ext',
      highlight: false
    }
  ]
