Package Exports

unist-util-stringify-position
unist-util-stringify-position/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (unist-util-stringify-position) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

What is this?

This package is a utility that takes any unist (whether mdast, hast, etc) node, position, or point, and serializes its positional info.

When should I use this?

This utility is useful to display where something occurred in the original document, in one standard way, for humans. For example, when throwing errors or warning messages about something.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install unist-util-stringify-position

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {stringifyPosition} from 'https://esm.sh/unist-util-stringify-position@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {stringifyPosition} from 'https://esm.sh/unist-util-stringify-position@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {stringifyPosition} from 'unist-util-stringify-position'

stringifyPosition({line: 2, column: 3}) // => '2:3' (point)
stringifyPosition({start: {line: 2}, end: {line: 3}}) // => '2:1-3:1' (position)
stringifyPosition({
  type: 'text',
  value: '!',
  position: {
    start: {line: 5, column: 11},
    end: {line: 5, column: 12}
  }
}) // => '5:11-5:12' (node)

API

This package exports the identifier stringifyPosition. There is no default export.

`stringifyPosition(node|position|point)`

Stringify a point, position, or a node.

Parameters

node (Node) — node whose 'position' property to stringify
position (Position) — position whose 'start' and 'end' points to stringify
point (Point) — point whose 'line' and 'column' to stringify

Returns

string? — A range ls:cs-le:ce (when given node or position) or a point l:c (when given point), where l stands for line, c for column, s for start, and e for end. An empty string ('') is returned if the given value is neither node, position, nor point.

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. There are no additional types exported.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 12.20+, 14.14+, and 16.0+. Our projects sometimes work with older versions, but this is not guaranteed.
