editor.getViewport() not working (for me?)

1

Hi

the getViewport method returns for me the from/to of the items in “cache”. And not the currently shown items on screen. I tested this with Chrome and Firefox for latest master branch and v3 branch. From documentation i understood that it should return the lines currently rendered visible to the user or?

How i did test: open one of the “demo” files - i took “activeline.html”. Add a reference to jQuery:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Added a event subscription to “scroll” event and added a debug point there.

    editor.on("scroll", function () {
        var vp = editor.getViewport();
    });

The editor shows line 5 to 19 but the result is 0 to 40 (which is the number in editor.display.renderedView).

Am i doing something wrong or am i understanding it wrong? How can i get the correct line number of the currently shown start and end?

Thanks!

The ‘viewport’ concept, in CodeMirror, is exactly that – the lines that have been rendered. You can use the lineAtHeight method to find the precise lines at the top and bottom of the editor DIV.

thanks fro the fast answer! So using the following works:

var start = editor.lineAtHeight(editor.display.scroller.getBoundingClientRect().top);
