## What is this?
This is a tiny but useful package to convert between arbitrary places in a
file.
## When should I use this?
This utility is useful when ASTs nodes dont cut it.
For example, when you are making a lint rule that looks for dangerous
characters in a file, which you accomplish by searching the raw file value,
and still want to report it to users.
## Install
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:
```sh
npm install vfile-location
```
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```js
import {location} from 'https://esm.sh/vfile-location@5'
```
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```html
<script type="module">
import {location} from 'https://esm.sh/vfile-location@5?bundle'
</script>
```
## Use
```js
import {VFile} from 'vfile'
import {location} from 'vfile-location'
const place = location(new VFile('foo\nbar\nbaz'))
const offset = place.toOffset({line: 3, column: 3}) // => 10
place.toPoint(offset) // => {line: 3, column: 3, offset: 10}
```
## API
This package exports the identifier [`location`][api-location].
There is no default export.
### `location(file)`
Create an index of the given document to translate between line/column and
offset based positional info.
###### Parameters
* `file` ([`VFile`][vfile], `Buffer`, or `string`)
— file to index
###### Returns
Accessors for index ([`Location`][api-location-map]).
### `Location`
Accessors for index (TypeScript type).
###### Fields
* `toPoint` (`(offset: number) => Point | undefined`)
— get the line/column based [`Point`][point] for `offset` in the bound
indices
* `toOffset` (`(point: Point) => number | undefined`)
— get the `offset` from a line/column based [`Point`][point] in the bound
indices
## Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional type [`Location`][api-location-map].
## Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line, `vfile-location@^5`,
compatible with Node.js 16.
