CodeMirror - cut value and append text

Question

Is there a way to cut the value by line numbers? For example, here's my editor's text area:

initial function () {
  a = '1';
  b = '2';
}

I will use getRange() to get the value inside initial function from editor, here's what I want to get:

a = '1';
b = '2';

Right now I want to append text to each line of value:

let val = cm.getRange({line: 0, ch: 0}, {line: cm.lineCount()-1, ch: 0});
val = 'someText' + val.replace(/\s/g, '');

I will get something like this

someTexta='1';b='2';

But what I want is

someTexta = '1';
someTextb = '2';

Is there a way in codemirror to cut value into array or something else by lines?

Answer 1

You can split your string into separate lines using .split(/\n/). This will give you an element in an array for each line. Then, you can .map() each line into a string with "someText prepended to it (only if that line is valid - hence the line ? check). Then, you can convert it back into a string using .join('\n'). See example below:

let val = ` a = '1';
  b = '2';`;
val = val.split(/\n/).map(line => line ? "someText" +line.trim() : line).join('\n');

console.log(val);
