vscode extension API - how to get only visible lines of editor

Question

I've searched the documentation but I could find nothing.

is there a way to get only the "visible" text of the document in the editor (so, I don't want to get the text / lines of hidden text by scrollbar)?

Thanks guys!

Answer 1

It's now possible via TextEditor.visibleRanges
