Introducing Enhanced Alert Actions and Triage Functionality
Socket now supports four distinct alert actions instead of the previous two, and alert triaging allows users to override the actions taken for all individual alerts.

Advanced tools
Package description
@turf/centroid is a module within the Turf.js library that calculates the centroid of a given GeoJSON feature. This is useful for finding the geometric center of various shapes such as polygons, lines, and multi-geometries.
Calculate Centroid of a Polygon
This feature calculates the centroid of a polygon. The code sample demonstrates how to create a polygon and then calculate its centroid using the @turf/centroid package.
const turf = require('@turf/centroid');
const polygon = turf.polygon([[
[-81, 41],
[-81, 47],
[-72, 47],
[-72, 41],
[-81, 41]
]]);
const centroid = turf.centroid(polygon);
console.log(centroid);
Calculate Centroid of a LineString
This feature calculates the centroid of a LineString. The code sample demonstrates how to create a LineString and then calculate its centroid using the @turf/centroid package.
const turf = require('@turf/centroid');
const line = turf.lineString([
[-83, 30],
[-84, 36],
[-78, 41]
]);
const centroid = turf.centroid(line);
console.log(centroid);
Calculate Centroid of a MultiPolygon
This feature calculates the centroid of a MultiPolygon. The code sample demonstrates how to create a MultiPolygon and then calculate its centroid using the @turf/centroid package.
const turf = require('@turf/centroid');
const multiPolygon = turf.multiPolygon([[
[[-81, 41], [-81, 47], [-72, 47], [-72, 41], [-81, 41]]
], [
[[-73, 39], [-73, 45], [-64, 45], [-64, 39], [-73, 39]]
]]);
const centroid = turf.centroid(multiPolygon);
console.log(centroid);
Geolib is a library for geospatial calculations. It provides functions to calculate distances, areas, and other geometric properties. While it offers centroid calculations, it is more general-purpose compared to @turf/centroid, which is specifically designed for GeoJSON features.
JSTS (JavaScript Topology Suite) is a library for performing various geometric operations. It includes functions for calculating centroids, but it is more complex and offers a broader range of geometric operations compared to @turf/centroid.

Takes one or more features and calculates the centroid using the mean of all vertices. This lessens the effect of small islands and artifacts when calculating the centroid of a set of polygons.
Parameters
Examples
var polygon = turf.polygon([[[-81, 41], [-88, 36], [-84, 31], [-80, 33], [-77, 39], [-81, 41]]]);
var centroid = turf.centroid(polygon);
//addToMap
var addToMap = [polygon, centroid]
Returns Feature<Point> the centroid of the input features
