@turf/bbox

@turf/bbox

bbox

Calculates the bounding box for any GeoJSON object, including FeatureCollection. Uses geojson.bbox if available and options.recompute is not set.

Parameters

• geojson GeoJSON any GeoJSON object

• options Object Optional parameters (optional, default {})

  • options.recompute boolean? Whether to ignore an existing bbox property on geojson

Examples

var line = turf.lineString([[-74, 40], [-78, 42], [-82, 35]]);
var bbox = turf.bbox(line);
var bboxPolygon = turf.bboxPolygon(bbox);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [line, bboxPolygon]

Returns BBox bbox extent in [minX, minY, maxX, maxY] order

This module is part of the Turfjs project, an open source module collection dedicated to geographic algorithms. It is maintained in the Turfjs/turf repository, where you can create PRs and issues.

Installation

Install this single module individually:

$ npm install @turf/bbox

Or install the all-encompassing @turf/turf module that includes all modules as functions:

$ npm install @turf/turf

Similar packages

Other packages similar to @turf/bbox

geojson-bbox

The geojson-bbox package provides similar functionality to @turf/bbox by calculating the bounding box for GeoJSON objects. It is a lightweight alternative but does not offer the extensive suite of geospatial tools available in the Turf.js library.

bbox

The bbox package is another alternative that focuses on calculating bounding boxes for various types of GeoJSON objects. It is simpler and more focused compared to @turf/bbox, which is part of a larger geospatial analysis library.
