Highlighter
A front-end module that takes in a list of terms and a CSS Selector or DOM node to search. The module searches the content for any of the terms provided, wraps them in an customizable HTML element and CSS class. This code was adapted from a jQuery plugin by knownasilya, which carries an MIT license.
This module does not apply any styles by default, only sets up elements classes to help the end user set up highlighter styles.
Usage
This module was designed to be used with browserify.
(function () {
'use strict';
var highlighter = require('fws-highlighter');
highlighter.init({
content: document.querySelector('#content'),
words: ['highlighter', 'processed']
});
