This is a version of Rails's highlight that is transliteration aware.
For example, highlighting 'duss' in 'Düsseldorf' will actually match something:
irb(main):001:0> require 'translighterate'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Translighterate.highlight("Düsseldorf", "duss")
=> "<mark>Düss</mark>eldorf"
as opposed to this behavior with Rails's highlight:
irb(main):002:0> require 'action_view'
=> true
irb(main):004:0> include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper
=> Object
irb(main):005:0> highlight("Düsseldorf", "duss")
=> "Düsseldorf"
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'translighterate'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install translighterate
We have one class Translighterate
with one method highlight
.
irb(main):001:0> require 'translighterate'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Translighterate.highlight("Düsseldorf", "duss")
=> "<mark>Düss</mark>eldorf"
