npm install --save-dev @babel/code-frame
Usage
import { codeFrameColumns } from '@babel/code-frame';
const rawLines = `class Foo {
constructor()
}`;
const location = { start: { line: 2, column: 16 } };
const result = codeFrameColumns(rawLines, location, { /* options */ });
console.log(result);
1 | class Foo {
> 2 | constructor()
| ^
3 | }
If the column number is not known, you may omit it.
You can also pass an end
hash in location
.
import { codeFrameColumns } from '@babel/code-frame';
const rawLines = `class Foo {
constructor() {
console.log("hello");
}
}`;
const location = { start: { line: 2, column: 17 }, end: { line: 4, column: 3 } };
const result = codeFrameColumns(rawLines, location, { /* options */ });
console.log(result);
1 | class Foo {
> 2 | constructor() {
| ^
> 3 | console.log("hello");
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> 4 | }
| ^^^
5 | };

Upgrading from prior versions
Prior to version 7, the only API exposed by this module was for a single line and optional column pointer. The old API will now log a deprecation warning.
The new API takes a location
object, similar to what is available in an AST.
This is an example of the deprecated (but still available) API:
import codeFrame from '@babel/code-frame';
const rawLines = `class Foo {
constructor()
}`;
const lineNumber = 2;
const colNumber = 16;
const result = codeFrame(rawLines, lineNumber, colNumber, { /* options */ });
console.log(result);
To get the same highlighting using the new API:
import { codeFrameColumns } from '@babel/code-frame';
const rawLines = `class Foo {
constructor() {
console.log("hello");
}
}`;
const location = { start: { line: 2, column: 16 } };
const result = codeFrameColumns(rawLines, location, { /* options */ });
console.log(result);
