booleanPointOnLine

Returns true if a point is on a line. Accepts a optional parameter to ignore the start and end vertices of the linestring.

Parameters

• pt Coord GeoJSON Point

• line Feature<LineString> GeoJSON LineString

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

  • options.ignoreEndVertices boolean whether to ignore the start and end vertices. (optional, default false)
  • options.epsilon number? Fractional number to compare with the cross product result. Useful for dealing with floating points such as lng/lat points

Examples

var pt = turf.point([0, 0]);
var line = turf.lineString([[-1, -1],[1, 1],[1.5, 2.2]]);
var isPointOnLine = turf.booleanPointOnLine(pt, line);
//=true

Returns boolean true/false

point-in-polygon

The 'point-in-polygon' package allows you to check if a point is inside a polygon. While it doesn't check for points on lines, it is useful for similar geospatial analyses where you need to determine point-in-shape relationships.

geolib

The 'geolib' package provides a variety of geospatial functions, including checking if a point is on a line. It offers more general-purpose geospatial utilities compared to @turf/boolean-point-on-line, which is more specialized.

leaflet

Leaflet is a popular library for interactive maps. While it is primarily used for rendering maps, it also provides some geospatial analysis functions, including checking if a point is on a line. It is more comprehensive in terms of mapping capabilities compared to @turf/boolean-point-on-line.
