React component to highlight any text in a text. Best used to highlight search results. Really Lightweight for all the devs with bundlephobia

Installation

yarn add react-ec-highlighter

npm i --save react-ec-highlighter

Check out a demo here.

Usage

To use it, just provide it with a search phrase and a text.

Try this example in Code Sandbox.

import ECHighlighter from "react-ec-highlighter";

/>

And the ECHighlighter will mark all occurrences of search phrase within the text:
