A React input component for searching text within a page
react-text-search-input
This is a React input component that provides a text search functionality in pages.
Code:
import { TextSearchInput } from 'react-text-search-input'
// ...
<TextSearchInput
root={document.getElementById('root')}
positionOptions={{
top: 30,
right: 30
}}
closeCallback={() => setVisible(false)}
/>
This component provides three props:
-
optional
root
: An element. It is the root of the tree where the search will start, usuallydocument.getElementById('root')
in React. -
optional
positionOptions
: An object with propstop
andright
. It is the absolute position of the search input.top
andright
can be numbers for pixels or strings for percentages. -
optional
closeCallback
: A function that will be called when the close button is clicked. You can use it to control visibility of the search input.
Below is a complete example:
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { TextSearchInput } from 'react-text-search-input';
function App() {
const [visible, setVisible] = React.useState(false)
useEffect(() => {
const handleKeyDown = (event: KeyboardEvent) => {
if (event.key === 'f' && event.ctrlKey) {
setVisible(true)
}
}
window.addEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown)
return () => {
window.removeEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown)
}
}, [])
return (
<div>
{
visible ? (
<TextSearchInput
root={document.getElementById('root')}
positionOptions={{
top: '5%',
right: 20
}}
closeCallback={() => setVisible(false)}
/>
) : <></>
}
</div>
);
}
export default App;
All styles are not adjustable, and perhaps an interface will be provided in the future to implement user-defined input box styles.
