Cloudflare Adds Security.txt Setup Wizard
Cloudflare has launched a setup wizard allowing users to easily create and manage a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure on their websites.
@turf/center
Advanced tools
@turf/center is a module from the Turf.js library that calculates the center of a given GeoJSON feature or set of features. It is useful for geographic data analysis and visualization, allowing developers to easily find the central point of various geometries such as polygons, lines, and multi-point collections.
Calculate Center of a Polygon
This feature calculates the center point of a polygon. The code sample demonstrates how to create a polygon and then find its center using the @turf/center package.
const turf = require('@turf/center');
const polygon = turf.polygon([[
[-81, 41],
[-81, 47],
[-72, 47],
[-72, 41],
[-81, 41]
]]);
const center = turf(polygon);
console.log(center);
Calculate Center of a MultiPoint Collection
This feature calculates the center point of a collection of points (MultiPoint). The code sample shows how to create a MultiPoint collection and find its center using the @turf/center package.
const turf = require('@turf/center');
const multiPoint = turf.multiPoint([
[-81, 41],
[-81, 47],
[-72, 47],
[-72, 41]
]);
const center = turf(multiPoint);
console.log(center);
Calculate Center of a LineString
This feature calculates the center point of a LineString. The code sample demonstrates how to create a LineString and find its center using the @turf/center package.
const turf = require('@turf/center');
const lineString = turf.lineString([
[-81, 41],
[-81, 47],
[-72, 47],
[-72, 41]
]);
const center = turf(lineString);
console.log(center);
Geolib is a library for geospatial calculations. It provides functions to calculate distances, areas, and center points of various geometries. Compared to @turf/center, geolib offers a broader range of geospatial utilities but may not be as specialized in handling GeoJSON data.
Leaflet is a popular open-source JavaScript library for interactive maps. It includes functionalities to calculate the center of a map view or a set of coordinates. While Leaflet is primarily focused on map rendering and interaction, it can also be used for basic geospatial calculations similar to @turf/center.
Geodesy is a library for geodesic calculations, including finding the center of a set of points. It is more focused on precise geodesic computations and may offer more accuracy for certain types of geospatial data compared to @turf/center.
Takes a Feature or FeatureCollection and returns the absolute center point of all features.
Parameters
geojson
GeoJSON GeoJSON to be centeredproperties
[Object] an Object that is used as the Feature's propertiesExamples
var features = {
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{
"type": "Feature",
"properties": {},
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [-97.522259, 35.4691]
}
}, {
"type": "Feature",

"properties": {},
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [-97.508269, 35.463245]
}
}
]
};
var center = turf.center(features);
//addToMap
center.properties['marker-size'] = 'large';
center.properties['marker-color'] = '#000';
var addToMap = [features, center]
Returns Feature<Point> a Point feature at the absolute center point of all input features
