## About this widget

Displays the [highlighted attributes](/doc/guides/building-search-ui/ui-and-ux-patterns/highlighting-snippeting/vue) of your search results.
It isn't a widget but a helper function that works with the [`ais-hits`](/doc/api-reference/widgets/hits/vue)
or [`ais-infinite-hits`](/doc/api-reference/widgets/infinite-hits/vue) widgets.

## Examples

### Basic usage

```vue Vue icon=code theme={"system"}
<ais-highlight attribute="name" :hit="hit" />
```

### Access a nested property

Given this record:

```json JSON icon=braces theme={"system"}
{
  "objectID": 1,
  "meta": {
    "name": "my name"
  }
}
```

Access the highlighted version by specifying the path separating levels with dots:

```vue Vue icon=code theme={"system"}
<ais-highlight attribute="meta.name" :hit="hit" />
```

## Props

<ParamField body="attribute" type="string" required>
  The highlighted attribute.

  Specify a dot-separated value for nested objects, like `actor.name`.

  ```vue Vue icon=code theme={"system"}
  <ais-highlight
    [...]
    attribute="name"
  />
  ```
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="hit" type="object" required>
  The original [`hit` object](/doc/guides/building-search-ui/going-further/backend-search/in-depth/understanding-the-api-response#hits)
  provided to the function.
  It contains all the data for that result, including the highlighted parts.

  <Note>The `hit` object must have a `_highlightResult[attribute].value` property.</Note>

  ```vue Vue icon=code theme={"system"}
  <ais-highlight
    [...]
    :hit="hit"
  />
  ```
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="highlighted-tag-name" type="string" default="mark">
  The HTML element that wraps the highlight.

  ```vue Vue icon=code theme={"system"}
  <ais-highlight
    [...]
    highlighted-tag-name="em"
  />
  ```
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="class-names" type="object" default="{}">
  To customize the appearance,
  override [the appropriate class](/doc/guides/building-search-ui/widgets/customize-an-existing-widget/vue#style-your-widgets) in your widget theme.

  * `ais-Highlight`. The root element of the widget.
  * `ais-Highlight-highlighted`. The highlighted part.

  ```vue Vue icon=code theme={"system"}
  <ais-highlight
    [...]
    :class-names="{
      'ais-Highlight': 'MyCustomHighlight',
      'ais-Highlight-highlighted': 'MyCustomHighlightHighlighted',
    }"
  />
  ```
</ParamField>

## HTML output

```html HTML icon=code-xml theme={"system"}
<span class="ais-Highlight">
  This is the <mark class="ais-Highlight-highlighted">highlighted text</mark>
</span>
```
