Open files in your editor at a specific line and column

Supports any editor, but only the following editors will open at a specific line and column:

• Sublime Text
• Atom
• Visual Studio Code
• WebStorm*
• TextMate
• Vim
• NeoVim
• IntelliJ IDEA*

*Doesn't support column.

$ npm install open-editor

const openEditor = require('open-editor');

openEditor([
	'unicorn.js:5:3',
	{
		file: 'readme.md',
		line: 10,
		column: 2
	}
]);

Open the given files in the user's editor at specific line and column if supported by the editor. It does not wait for the editor to start or quit.

Type: Array<string | object>

Items should be in the format foo.js:1:5 or {file: 'foo.js', line: 1: column: 5}.

Type: object

Type: string
Default: Auto-detected

Name, command, or binary path of the editor.

Only use this option if you really have to. Can be useful if you want to force a specific editor or implement your own auto-detection.

Same as openEditor(), but returns an object with the binary name, arguments, and a flag indicating whether the editor runs in the terminal.

Example: {binary: 'subl', arguments: ['foo.js:1:5'], isTerminalEditor: false}

Can be useful if you want to handle opening the files yourself.
