Description

The CellRange class holds a set of cell coordinates (CellCoords instances) that form a selection range.

A single CellRange instance represents a single unit of selection that contains either a single cell or multiple adjacent cells.

To import the CellRange class:

import Handsontable, { CellRange } from '/handsontable';

// or, using modules
import Handsontable, { CellRange } from '/handsontable/base';

Methods
