[EA 15.2] - Search box in HTML export

[jack89]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a simple method to add a search box into HTML model export.

Let me explain better: I usually share my model that has a lot of packages through EA HTML export. My request is to add a simple search box in the html export that helps the final user to quick find a diagram.

The search box could simply search by diagram name.

Anyone has some ideas regarding how to implement that? If yes,  could you please list few examples of the required HTML changes?

Thank you in advance!

This issue was discussed on this forum a while ago (several years I think). I remember someone posting some kind of a solution.
If you use the search option you should be able to find it.

You do?
Not sure if I know what did, not on purpose anyway

The IDEA plugin (downloadable from Sparx plugin page, or Google it) has a function to generate html report with search function, have not looked into it myself but it may be what you are looking for.

I tried this plugin, but it generates a different html version of the model and unfortunately it is not suitable for my application.

I was looking for a modification of html template a sort of:

<div>
       <input type="text" id="myInput" onkeyup="searchDiagram()" placeholder="Search for diagrams..">
</div>

<script>
       function searchDiagram() {}
</script>

Anyone has an idea how to write the function searchDiagram in order to search into html export a diagram name?

Hi forum,
I'm developing an EA model that will be shared with my colleagues by HTML export.
I think that this 'search function' that you are talking about would be fundamental to help my colleagues in finding the informations they need easily.
I searched in the forum the precedent post cited by Geert and I found it (https://www.sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php?topic=40020.0), but there was no handy solution  .

Do you have any news on this topic?
It would be great to have such a feature in my project  !

thank you in advance,
Alex
