Simon Lydell e40aad53a4 Improve syntax highlighting colors (#4572)
- Highlight the error location markers in bold red.
- Dim the line number gutter with grey.
- Don't highlight brackets. Few editor color schemes do.
- Add JSX tag highlighting.
- Don't highlight punctuators with bold. That looks bad on Ubuntu based
  systems. Instead, highlight them the same way as JSX tags, which
  results in really nice JSX highlighting.
- Highlight capitalized variable names.
- Make invalid tokens stand out with a red background.

babel-code-frame

Generate errors that contain a code frame that point to source locations.

Install

$ npm install babel-code-frame

Usage

import codeFrame from 'babel-code-frame';

const rawLines = `class Foo {
  constructor()
}`;
const lineNumber = 2;
const colNumber = 16;

const result = codeFrame(rawLines, lineNumber, colNumber, { /* options */ });

console.log(result);
  1 | class Foo {
> 2 |   constructor()
    |                ^
  3 | }

If the column number is not known, you may pass null instead.
