FAQ
How do I highlight several words at once?
Pass an array as query, such as query={["react", "vue"]}. Every match of every term is marked. Empty strings are ignored, and with no usable term the text is returned unmarked.
Is the match case-sensitive?
Yes by default. Set ignoreCase to match any letter case. The text keeps its own case either way; only the match is marked.
Can the query contain regex characters?
Yes, they are matched as plain text. Characters such as ., * and ( are escaped before the search, so a query like c++ finds the letters c++ and does not throw.
How do I change how a match looks?
Each match is a mark element with the classes bg-primary/20 text-primary rounded-md px-1. A className you pass is merged after them, and other props go on every mark. The Custom Style and Squiggle demos show two looks.
Can I get the chunks and render them myself?
Yes. The file also exports useHighlight, which takes text, query and ignoreCase and returns the pieces as { text, match } objects in order. Render them as you like, for example as links.
