![Demo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/42821245/166227004-25300342-1da1-4552-a8cf-6f6a7154bff2.gif)

## Installation

```bash

npm install react-highlight-popover

```

or

```bash

yarn add react-highlight-popover

```

## Usage

1. Import `HighlightableTextArea` after installation

```js

import { HighlightableTextArea } from 'react-highlight-popover';

```

2. Wrap the text you want to be highlightable with `HighlightableTextArea`

```js

function App() {

    return (

        

            
This is a sample text that can be highlighted. Select some text from here to see.

        

    )

}

```


### Customize your popover item

You can define a custom popover item by defining the `popoverItem` prop, whose value is a function that returns a react node. It also takes `HighlightedText` & `setPopoverState` as optional arguments.

Example

```js

function App() {

    return (

         {

                return (

                    
 setPopoverState(false)}>

                        
{HighlightedText}

                    

                )}}

        >

            
This is a sample text that can be highlighted. Select some text from here to see.

        

    )

}

```
