thisArg

Return value

Examples

The code snippet below shows how create a new highlight with two ranges, and then log the ranges by using the forEach() method:

function logAllHighlights(highlight, name) {
  console.log(`Highlight ${name} exists in the registry`, highlight);
}

const customHighlight1 = new Highlight();
const customHighlight2 = new Highlight();
const customHighlight3 = new Highlight();

CSS.highlights.set("custom-highlight-1", customHighlight1);
CSS.highlights.set("custom-highlight-2", customHighlight2);
CSS.highlights.set("custom-highlight-3", customHighlight3);
