ultimate-string-replace

Javascript library to allow to find and wrap matches in a string.

It's main purpose is to be used in filters of objects, so you can highlight matches.

If the string has accents, ultimate-string-replace will get rid of them and match anyway.

If the string to match has accents, it will only match exact matches (case-insensitive).

npm i -S ultimate-string-replace
