How to get node line number in cheerio.js?

Question

I am using cheerio.js as per below:

var $ = cheerio.load(html,{withStartIndices : true});

When I use console.log($('#element1'));. It will return node with the character position.

   { 
     type: 'tag',
     name: 'h6',
     attribs: { align: 'center', id: 'r' },
     children: [ [Object] ],
     next: null,
     startIndex: 310,
.......

Is there any way to get the line number in cheerio.js for a specific element?

Here's one solution

const $ = cheerio.load(html, { withStartIndices: true });
const start = $('#element1').get(0).startIndex;
const lineNumber = html.substr(0, start).split('\n').length;
