unist-util-position is a utility for unifiedjs that helps access positional information on unist syntax tree nodes. It provides functions like position(node), pointStart(node), and pointEnd(node), useful when you need node locations (for example when building or validating plugins that may encounter dirty position data).

Recent updates
5.0.0
7/7/2023unist-util-position v5.0.0 updates the package for Node.js 16+, switches to an exports map for module resolution, and changes how positional data is validated. The core utilities (pointStart, pointEnd, position) now return undefined when position data is invalid instead of returning empty objects with null fields.
Breaking4.0.4
1/21/2023Version 4.0.4 is primarily a maintenance release, with code reorganized and documentation updated. The runtime entry point (index.js) now re-exports the implementation from a new lib/index.js file, while build, test, and tooling configuration were also updated.
4.0.3
3/31/2022Release 4.0.3 is a small patch that updates the library metadata and adjusts the inline type documentation used for positional lookup. The code change is limited, and runtime logic appears unchanged.
