Installation

npm install line-current

Usage (Normal)

var linecurrent = require("line-current");

var app = async function(){
    var currentLine = await linecurrent.get();
    //Put your code here
    //

    //Printing current line to terminal
    console.log(currentLine);
    //Printing confirmation message to terminal
    console.log("It's working!");

    //Lets get it again:
    currentLine = await linecurrent.get();
    //Printing current line to terminal
    console.log(currentLine);
    //Printing confirmation message to terminal
    console.log("It's still working!");
}
app();

//If you put code here everything will fall appart
//

Will return:

{"processtime":%time it took to get current line%,"current-line":%current line%}

It's working!

{"processtime":%time it took to get current line%,"current-line":%current line%}

It's still working!

    console.log(currentLine);
    //Printing confirmation message to terminal
    console.log("It's working!");

    //Lets get it again:
    currentLine = await linecurrent.get(true);
    //Printing current line to terminal
    console.log(currentLine);
    //Printing confirmation message to terminal
    console.log("It's still working!");
}
app();

//If you put code here everything will fall appart
//

Will return:

{
    "processtime": %time it took to get current line%,
    "current-line": %current line%
}

It's working!

{
    "processtime": %time it took to get current line%,

Syntax

await linecurrent.get(%formatted?%);

Output exemple (normal)

{"current-line":1,"processtime":"143ms"}

Output exemple (formatted)

{
    "current-line": 1,
    "processtime": "143ms"
}

Details

Output are json as string, you can parse it with JSON.parse() if you want to use it as an object, to run the get command you need to use it with await in a async function in the exemples it was app else everything will fall appart.

How does it work

This module uses the ainsi escape code on the current line process the output revert the terminal to before that and returns the output as formatted or not depending on function args.
