Why is there no way to get the cursor position in monaco-editor?

I read the API document

I want to get the cursor position (row, column), such as : image

But seems there is no API for this function, is there any way to implement it?

the demo code here

before ask question I have searched this one QA: Get absolute (index) position of cursor in Monaco Editor

but when I execute:

console.log(monacoRef.current.editor.getPosition())

I get the error:

Property 'getPosition' does not exist on type 'typeof editor'. ts(2339)

you can use onDidChangeCursorSelection event to get current carret position.

sample :

 editor.onDidChangeCursorSelection(e => {
            console.log(e)
  })
