Usage

You can either use the hook:

import {
  PopOverList,
  PopOverOption,
  PopOverOptionText,
  Props,
  ReactSearchHighlightProvider,
  SearchBar,
  STRING_MATCHING,
  useReactSearchHighlight,
  Wrapper
} from 'react-search-highlight';
import 'react-search-highlight/dist/react-search-highlight.cjs.development.css';

import TEST_DATA from '../data.json';

const Template = () => {
  const {suggestions, isResultsEmpty} = useReactSearchHighlight();
  return (
    <Wrapper>
      <SearchBar
        data={TEST_DATA} // need to provide data here
        keysToSearch={['heading', 'title']} // keys to search from data object
        placeholder="search docs"
        matchingAlgorithm={STRING_MATCHING}
        ref={ref}
      />
      <PopOverList>
        {suggestions?.map((item, index) => (
          <PopOverOption
            optionIndex={index}
            key={index}
            onClick={() => alert(index)}
          >
            ⚡️
            <PopOverOptionText as="h3" value={item.heading} />
            <PopOverOptionText as="h5" value={item.title} />
          </PopOverOption>
        ))}
        {isResultsEmpty && <h3>No results found</h3>}
      </PopOverList>
    </Wrapper>
  );
};

export const Custom = () => {
  return (
    <ReactSearchHighlightProvider>
      <Template />
    </ReactSearchHighlightProvider>
  );
};

Or with the wrapper component

import {
  PopOverList,
  PopOverOption,
  PopOverOptionText,
  Props,
  SearchBar,
  Wrapper
} from 'react-search-highlight';
import 'react-search-highlight/dist/react-search-highlight.cjs.development.css';

import TEST_DATA from '../data.json';

export const Default = args => {
  return (
    <Wrapper>
      {({suggestions}) => {
        return (
          <>
            <SearchBar
              data={TEST_DATA} // need to provide data here
              keysToSearch={['heading', 'title']} // keys to search from data object
              placeholder="search docs"
            />
            <PopOverList>
              {suggestions?.map((item, index) => (
                <PopOverOption
                  optionIndex={index}
                  key={index}
                  onClick={() => alert(index)}
                >
                  ⚡️
                  <PopOverOptionText as="h3" value={item.heading} />
                  <PopOverOptionText as="h5" value={item.title} />
                </PopOverOption>
              ))}
            </PopOverList>
          </>
        );
      }}
    </Wrapper>
  );
};

If you want to use it with modal

import {Modal} from 'react-search-highlight';

export const WithModal = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Modal is open</h1>
      <Modal>
        <Default />
      </Modal>
    </div>
  );
};

Data must be provided as array of object format in <SearchBar/> component data prop, additionally keysToSearch prop must be a array of keys to search form data object.

const data = [
  {
    title:....,
    name:.....,
    age:......,
  },
  ....
]
// It is not necessary to pass all the keys from the object, only keys that are passed
// will be searched
const keysToSearch = ['title','name']


<SearchBar
  data={data} 
  keysToSearch={keysToSearch}
 />

🔨 API

useReactSearchHighlight can be used with ReactSearchHighlightProvider and it can be used throughout the component to access the context values. Note that whenever you are using it you must wrap the entire component using ReactSearchHighlightProvider.

const {
  suggestions,
  isLoading,
  input,
  startLoading,
  endLoading,
  isResultsEmpty,
  resetState
} = useReactSearchHighlight();

You can also access these values using wrapper component

    <Wrapper>
      {({suggestions, isLoading, input, startLoading, endLoading, isResultsEmpty, resetState}) => {
        return (
          .....
        );
      }}
    </Wrapper>

  // Determines matching algorithm to search over data, it accepts two values CHARACTER_MATCHING or STRING_MATCHING
