Select characters (highlight text) in input on mousedown and mouseup with Blazor Component

Same thing as Javascript Window.GetSelection. Basically I want to be able to grab the selected text in an html input with Blazor.

<input type="text" value="" />

So whatever value is written into the input, upon mouse-selection will be stored in a string

string mySelectedText { get; set; }

So the user will do this:

and the variable will hold this:

mySelectedText = "selection is made";

Dom-manipulation should be done with @on as shown in this list but i cannot see any @onSelection in that list

I have tried this suggestion without any success. The user-event must be mouse-selection of text from input, and the selected text must be stored or showed.

The solution is to combine Javascript with Blazor with the @inject IJSRuntime

in the Blazor-component:

@inject IJSRuntime js            
     <p @onmouseup="@GetSelectedText">Make selection with mouse on here</p>        
     <p>You highlighted: @SelectedText</p>
@code {
    public string SelectedText { get; set; }

    async Task GetSelectedText()
    {
        SelectedText = await js.InvokeAsync<string>("getSelectedText");
    }
}

and the javascript funktion named getSelectedText in the wwwroot/html.html insert this below the webassembly.js

<script>
function getSelectedText() {
    return window.getSelection().toString();
}
</script>

This solves the problem
