Include Original Line Numbers

[AbstractAlao]

I just want to osay thank you for this. I was able to automate taking screen shots of over 500+ lines of code. The only problem is that the line numbers options won't put the actual line numbers from the file unless you take a full screenshot of the code. When using the start line and end line option is there a way to show the start and stop line number in the screenshot?

This feature ships with the official v2 release. 🙂

It will respect the --start value and set it as the first line number when line numbers are enabled.

Assuming this code in a file read-file-async.util.ts :

import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises';

export default async (
  file: string,
  shouldEncode: boolean = true
): Promise<Buffer | string> =>
  await readFile(file, { encoding: shouldEncode ? 'utf8' : null });

Running

carbon-now read-file-async.util.ts --start 3

will lead to the expected result. 🙂

There is also a new config setting firstLineNumber that can be manually set inside a given preset. Please also note that lineNumbers has to be true for whatever preset you’re using.

--start will also always overwrite firstLineNumber, as expected.

Happy testing and using! 🥳
