How to add a html class in a Vue data string?

Question

I have a component in Vue and I have some hard coded data. I need to add the class font-bold uppercase to a word in the string.

How would I achieve this in Vue?

In the below code, inside data > need you will see the word HOPE. I need this word to have the class.

export default {

    data: function() {
        return {
            locations: [{
                    id: 1,
                    name: 'Example',
                    need: "Lorem ipsum HOPE dolor sit amet.",
                },
                {
                    id: 2,
                    name: 'Example 2',
                    need: "Morbi et lobortis ante, HOPE eu viverra quam.",

                },

              ]
            }
        }
    }

HTML:

<template>
    <div>
        <div v-for="(location, index) in locations">
            <p class="text-base text-navy-500 leading-tight mt-2">
            {{ location.need }}
            </p>
...

I tried using a method similar to this, but couldn't figure it out: I'm assumming I need a way to search and replace the word in the string...

methods: {
            highlight() {
                if(!this.query) {
                    return this.content;
                }
                return this.content.replace(new RegExp(this.query, "HOPE"), match => {
                    return '<span class="highlightText">' + match + '</span>';
                });
            }

Any help would be appreciated.

I think I already answered something similar here. Does that solve your problem? — David Weldon

To achieve expected result, use below option creating below highlight method

Created highlight method inside loop
Check index of word-HOPE
Use v-html to using that variable

methods: { highlight: function(val) { if(val.indexOf('HOPE') !== -1){ return val.replace("HOPE", 'HOPE'); } return ''+val+''
} }

working code for reference:

var app = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data:  function() {
        return {
            locations: [{
                    id: 1,
                    name: 'Example',
                    need: "Lorem ipsum HOPE dolor sit amet.",
                },
                {
                    id: 2,
                    name: 'Example 2',
                    need: "Morbi et lobortis ante, HOPE eu viverra quam.",

                },

              ]
            }
    },
  methods: {
     highlight: function(val) {
       if(val.indexOf('HOPE') !== -1){
        return val.replace("HOPE", '<span class="highlightText">HOPE</span>');       
       }
       return '<span>'+val+'</span>'

  }
  }
})

.highlightText{
  background: red
}

<div>
  <div id="app">
    <div v-for="(location, index) in locations">
            <p class="text-base text-navy-500 leading-tight mt-2">
           
              <div v-html="highlight(location.need)"></div>
            </p>
  </div>
<div>
