Trace the original position through a source map
trace-mapping allows you to take the line and column of an output file and trace it to the
original location in the source file through a source map.
You may already be familiar with the source-map package's SourceMapConsumer. This
provides the same originalPositionFor and generatedPositionFor API, without requiring WASM.
npm install @jridgewell/trace-mappingimport {
TraceMap,
originalPositionFor,
generatedPositionFor,
sourceContentFor,
isIgnored,
} from '@jridgewell/trace-mapping';
const tracer = new TraceMap({
version: 3,
sources: ['input.js'],
sourcesContent: ['content of input.js'],
names: ['foo'],
mappings: 'KAyCIA',
ignoreList: [],
});
// Lines start at line 1, columns at column 0.
const traced = originalPositionFor(tracer, { line: 1, column: 5 });
assert.deepEqual(traced, {
source: 'input.js',
line: 42,
column: 4,
name: 'foo',
});
const content = sourceContentFor(tracer, traced.source);
assert.strictEqual(content, 'content for input.js');
const generated = generatedPositionFor(tracer, {
source: 'input.js',
line: 42,
column: 4,
});
assert.deepEqual(generated, {
line: 1,
column: 5,
});
const ignored = isIgnored(tracer, 'input.js');
assert.equal(ignored, false);We also provide a lower level API to get the actual segment that matches our line and column. Unlike
originalPositionFor, traceSegment uses a 0-base for line:
import { traceSegment } from '@jridgewell/trace-mapping';
// line is 0-base.
const traced = traceSegment(tracer, /* line */ 0, /* column */ 5);
// Segments are [outputColumn, sourcesIndex, sourceLine, sourceColumn, namesIndex]
// Again, line is 0-base and so is sourceLine
assert.deepEqual(traced, [5, 0, 41, 4, 0]);The sourcemap spec defines a special sections field that's designed to handle concatenation of
output code with associated sourcemaps. This type of sourcemap is rarely used (no major build tool
produces it), but if you are hand coding a concatenation you may need it. We provide an AnyMap
helper that can receive either a regular sourcemap or a SectionedSourceMap and returns a
TraceMap instance:
import { AnyMap } from '@jridgewell/trace-mapping';
const fooOutput = 'foo';
const barOutput = 'bar';
const output = [fooOutput, barOutput].join('\n');
const sectioned = new AnyMap({
version: 3,
sections: [
{
// 0-base line and column
offset: { line: 0, column: 0 },
// fooOutput's sourcemap
map: {
version: 3,
sources: ['foo.js'],
names: ['foo'],
mappings: 'AAAAA',
},
},
{
// barOutput's sourcemap will not affect the first line, only the second
offset: { line: 1, column: 0 },
map: {
version: 3,
sources: ['bar.js'],
names: ['bar'],
mappings: 'AAAAA',
},
},
],
});
const traced = originalPositionFor(sectioned, {
line: 2,
column: 0,
});
assert.deepEqual(traced, {
source: 'bar.js',
line: 1,
column: 0,
name: 'bar',
});node v20.10.0
