README

frozen-range

Store DOM ranges in a non-live representation for later use.

This module works by storing the DOM tree paths to the start and end containers, as well as the offset values of the range.

Usage

Given a Range and a Node:

// Freeze
var frozen = new FrozenRange(range, el);

// ...

// Thaw
range = frozen.thaw(el);

You can also optionally pass in an existing Range to reuse it (its contents will be overwriten by the FrozenRange's):

frozen.thaw(el, range);

Important

If the DOM subtree of the reference Node provided changes, the resulting Range will be innacurate.
