@turf/explode

@turf/explode

explode

Takes a feature or set of features and returns all positions as points.

Parameters

• geojson GeoJSON input features

Examples

var polygon = turf.polygon([[[-81, 41], [-88, 36], [-84, 31], [-80, 33], [-77, 39], [-81, 41]]]);

var explode = turf.explode(polygon);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [polygon, explode]

• Throws Error if it encounters an unknown geometry type

Returns FeatureCollection<point> points representing the exploded input features

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/explode

geojson-flatten

The geojson-flatten package is used to flatten nested GeoJSON objects into simpler geometries. While it doesn't specifically convert geometries into points like @turf/explode, it can be used to simplify complex GeoJSON structures, making it easier to work with individual geometries.

geojson-utils

The geojson-utils package provides a variety of utility functions for working with GeoJSON data, including point-in-polygon tests and distance calculations. While it doesn't offer the specific explode functionality, it provides a broader set of tools for GeoJSON manipulation.

jsts

The jsts (JavaScript Topology Suite) package offers a wide range of spatial operations and geometric algorithms. It includes functionality for converting geometries to points, but it is more complex and feature-rich compared to @turf/explode.
