Angular Html Highlighter

Highlight strings of text across the entire page, regardless of application, library or component boundaries.

Usage

• Install the library in your package.json for example using npm i --save ngx-html-highlighter.
• Add the NgxHtmlHighlighterModule.forRoot() to your module's imports section. The forRoot is necessary for the service to be available (see next item).
• Inject the HighlighterService in your module or component.
• Call createHighlighter with an optional options argument to create a highlighter object. The highlighter begins its work immediately.
• Important: When no longer needed call destroy on the highlighter object or alteratively pass the highlighter to the service's destroyHighlighter method.

Options

export interface Options {
  tagAttribute: string;
  highlightClass: string;
}

• tagAttribute is the attribute name used to "tag" a node as having been inserted by the highlighter.
• highlightClass is the class added to the highlighted spans. You should add styles to this class in your global stylesheets (e.g. src/app/styles.css in a default angular app)
