How to Highlight Text in a Table Using mark.js

Steps:

  1. Integrate mark.js Library:

    • Add the following code to your Custom Scripts section:

      <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mark.js/8.11.1/mark.min.js"></script>
      <style>
        mark {
          background: yellow;
          color: black;
        }
      </style>
  2. Create a JavaScript Action:

    • In your project, add an action with one JavaScript step:

      const context = document.querySelector('ub-smart-table');
      const instance = new Mark(context);
      instance.unmark();
      instance.mark({{data}});
    • This code selects the table, initializes mark.js, removes any previous highlights, and then applies new highlights based on the data provided.

  3. Add Text Input and Assign Action:

    • Incorporate a text input field in your UI.

    • Assign the action created in step 2 to the 'OnChange' event of the text input.

    • This setup ensures that whenever the input's value changes, the text in the table gets highlighted accordingly.

Conclusion: With these steps, you can easily highlight text in a table using mark.js. This feature enhances the user experience by allowing dynamic interaction with the table data.
