Methods

collapseToEnd

  • collapseToEnd(): Range

  • Create a new empty range using this range's end position.

    Returns Range

collapseToStart

  • collapseToStart(): Range

  • Create a new empty range using this range's start position.

    Returns Range

containsPosition

  • containsPosition(position): boolean

  • Test if position is in this range. If the position is at the edges, will return true.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

containsRange

  • containsRange(range): boolean

  • Test if range is in this range. If the range is equal to this range, will return true.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

delta

  • delta(lineCount): Range

  • Moves the range by the given amount of lines.

    Parameters

    • lineCount: number

    Returns Range

equalsRange

  • equalsRange(other): boolean

  • Test if this range equals other.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

equalsSelection

  • equalsSelection(other): boolean

  • Test if equals other selection.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

getDirection

getEndPosition

  • getEndPosition(): Position

  • Return the end position (which will be after or equal to the start position)

    Returns Position

getPosition

  • getPosition(): Position

  • Get the position at positionLineNumber and positionColumn.

    Returns Position

getSelectionStart

  • getSelectionStart(): Position

  • Get the position at the start of the selection.

    Returns Position

getStartPosition

  • getStartPosition(): Position

  • Return the start position (which will be before or equal to the end position)

    Returns Position

intersectRanges

isEmpty

  • isEmpty(): boolean

  • Test if this range is empty.

    Returns boolean

plusRange

  • plusRange(range): Range

  • A reunion of the two ranges. The smallest position will be used as the start point, and the largest one as the end point.

    Parameters

    Returns Range

setEndPosition

  • setEndPosition(endLineNumber, endColumn): Selection

  • Create a new selection with a different positionLineNumber and positionColumn.

    Parameters

    • endLineNumber: number
    • endColumn: number

    Returns Selection

setStartPosition

  • setStartPosition(startLineNumber, startColumn): Selection

  • Create a new selection with a different selectionStartLineNumber and selectionStartColumn.

    Parameters

    • startLineNumber: number
    • startColumn: number

    Returns Selection

strictContainsRange

  • strictContainsRange(range): boolean

  • Test if range is strictly in this range. range must start after and end before this range for the result to be true.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

toJSON

toString

  • toString(): string

  • Transform to a human-readable representation.

    Returns string

Static areIntersecting

  • areIntersecting(a, b): boolean

  • Test if the two ranges are intersecting. If the ranges are touching it returns true.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

Static areIntersectingOrTouching

Static collapseToEnd

  • collapseToEnd(range): Range

  • Create a new empty range using this range's end position.

    Parameters

    Returns Range

Static collapseToStart

  • collapseToStart(range): Range

    Parameters

    Returns Range

Static compareRangesUsingEnds

  • compareRangesUsingEnds(a, b): number

  • A function that compares ranges, useful for sorting ranges It will first compare ranges on the endPosition and then on the startPosition

    Parameters

Static compareRangesUsingStarts

  • compareRangesUsingStarts(a, b): number

  • A function that compares ranges, useful for sorting ranges It will first compare ranges on the startPosition and then on the endPosition
