This package is distributed as a UMD module and can also be used in AMD based systems or as a global under the Terraformer namespace.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@terraformer/spatial"></script>

const input = {
  'type': 'Polygon',
  'coordinates': [
    [ [41.83, 71.01], [56.95, 33.75], [21.79, 36.56], [41.83, 71.01] ]
  ]
};

Terraformer.isConvex(input.coordinates[0]); // true

Node.js

const Terraformer = require('@terraformer/spatial');

Terraformer.isConvex(/* ... */);

ES module in the browser

<script type='module'>
  import { isConvex } from 'https://unpkg.com/@terraformer/spatial?module';

  // look ma, no build step!
  isConvex(/* ... */);
</script>

FAQ

What's the difference between this project and Turf.js?

Both libraries work with GeoJSON and share many similar functions. Turf.js relies on JSTS, and some folks have found it to be slower. In the past Turf.js did not include predicates like 'within', 'contains' and 'intersects', but that no longer appears to be the case.
