filterThis is a really simple jQuery plugin which enables you to dynamically filter a long html list through an input field.
How to use it:
1. Download and include the jQuery filterThis plugin after jQuery library.
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script> <script src="filterThis.js"></script>
2. Create a list of items.
<ul class="group"> <li class="group"> <div class="user"> <p class="name"> Derek Ortiz </p> <p> [email protected] </p> </div> </li> <li class="group"> <div class="user"> <p class="name"> Sad kitten </p> <p> [email protected] </p> </div> </li> <li class="group"> <div class="user"> <p class="name"> Kermit The Frog </p> <p> [email protected] </p> </div> </li> ... </ul>
3. Create a text field to filter the html list. The data-filter-target
attribute is used to specify the target selectors for the list filter.
<input class="filter-box" type="text" data-filter-target=".user p.name" data-filter-hide=".user"> </input>
4. Call the plugin on document ready and we're done.
$("input.filter-box").filterThis();
