<!-- [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/manuelbieh/Geolib.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/manuelbieh/Geolib) -->
[View demo](http://www.manuel-bieh.de/publikationen/scripts/geolib/demo.html)
Library to provide basic geospatial operations like distance calculation, conversion of decimal coordinates to sexagesimal and vice versa, etc. This library is currently **2D**, meaning that altitude/elevation is not yet supported by any of its functions!
## Changelog
A detailed changelog can be found in [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md)
## Install
npm install geolib
```sh
npm install geolib
```
<h2>Methods</h2>
```sh
yarn add geolib
```
<h3>geolib.getDistance(object start, object end[, int accuracy, int precision])</h3>
## Usage
Calculates the distance between two geo coordinates
There is a **UMD** build and an **ES Module** build. You can either use the UMD build in Node like any other library:
Takes 2 or 4 arguments. First 2 arguments must be objects that each have latitude and longitude properties (e.g. `{latitude: 52.518611, longitude: 13.408056}`). Coordinates can be in sexagesimal or decimal format. 3rd argument is accuracy (in meters). So a calculated distance of 1248 meters with an accuracy of 100 is returned as `1200` (accuracy 10 = `1250` etc.). 4th argument is precision in sub-meters (1 is meter presicion, 2 is decimeters, 3 is centimeters, etc).
```js
const geolib = require('geolib');
```
Return value is always float and represents the distance in meters.
or in the browser by using a simple script element:
<h4>Examples</h4>
```html
<script src="lib/geolib.js"></script>
```
<pre>geolib.getDistance(
{latitude: 51.5103, longitude: 7.49347},
{latitude: "51° 31' N", longitude: "7° 28' E"}
If you load it in the browser, you can access all the functions via `window.geolib`.
If you're working with a bundler (like Webpack or Parcel) or have an environment that supports ES Modules natively, you can either import certain functions from the package directly:
```js
import { getDistance } from 'geolib';
```
or load the whole library:
```js
import * as geolib from 'geolib';
```
or you can import single functions directly to potentially make use of treeshaking (recommended):
```js
import getDistance from 'geolib/es/getDistance';
```
## General
This library is written in TypeScript. You don't have to know TypeScript to use Geolib but the [type definitions](./src/types.ts) give you valuable information about the general usage, input parameters etc.
### Supported values and formats
All methods that are working with coordinates accept either an object with a `lat`/`latitude` **and** a `lon`/`lng`/`longitude` property, **or** a GeoJSON coordinates array, like: `[lon, lat]`. All values can be either in decimal (`53.471`) or sexagesimal (`53° 21' 16"`) format.
Distance values are **always** floats and represent the distance in **meters**.
## Functions
### `getDistance(start, end, accuracy = 1)`
Calculates the distance between two geo coordinates.
This function takes up to 3 arguments. First 2 arguments must be valid `GeolibInputCoordinates` (e.g. `{latitude: 52.518611, longitude: 13.408056}`). Coordinates can be in sexagesimal or decimal format. The third argument is accuracy (in meters). By default the accuracy is 1 meter. If you need a more accurate result, you can set it to a lower value, e.g. to `0.01` for centimeter accuracy. You can set it higher to have the result rounded to the next value that is divisible by your chosen accuracy (e.g. `25428` with an accuracy of `100` becomes `25400`).
```js
getDistance(
{ latitude: 51.5103, longitude: 7.49347 },
{ latitude: "51° 31' N", longitude: "7° 28' E" }
);
geolib.getDistance(
{latitude: 51.5103, longitude: 7.49347},
{latitude: "51° 31' N", longitude: "7° 28' E"}
);
```
```js
// Working with W3C Geolocation API
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
function(position) {
alert('You are ' + geolib.getDistance(position.coords, {
latitude: 51.525,
longitude: 7.4575
}) + ' meters away from 51.525, 7.4575');
console.log(
'You are ',
geolib.getDistance(position.coords, {
latitude: 51.525,
longitude: 7.4575,
}),
'meters away from 51.525, 7.4575'
);
},
function() {
alert('Position could not be determined.')
},
{
enableHighAccuracy: true
() => {
alert('Position could not be determined.');
}
);
</pre>
```
<h3>geolib.getDistanceSimple(object start, object end[, int accuracy])</h3>
Returns the distance in meters as a numeric value.
Calculates the distance between two geo coordinates but this method is far more inaccurate as compared to getDistance.
### `getPreciseDistance(start, end[, int accuracy])`
It can take up 2 to 3 arguments. start, end and accuracy can be defined in the same as in getDistance.
Calculates the distance between two geo coordinates. This method is more accurate then `getDistance`, especially for long distances but it is also slower. It is using the Vincenty inverse formula for ellipsoids.
Return value is always float that represents the distance in meters.
It takes the same (up to 3) arguments as `getDistance`.
<h4>Examples</h4>
```js
geoilib.getPreciseDistance(
{ latitude: 51.5103, longitude: 7.49347 },
{ latitude: "51° 31' N", longitude: "7° 28' E" }
);
```
<pre>geolib.getDistanceSimple(
{latitude: 51.5103, longitude: 7.49347},
{latitude: "51° 31' N", longitude: "7° 28' E"}
);</pre>
### `getCenter(coords)`

Checks if a coordinate is already in decimal format and, if not, converts it to. Works with single values (e.g. `51° 32' 17"`) and complete coordinates (e.g. `{lat: 1, lon: 1}`) as long as it in a [supported format](#supported-values-and-formats).
<h4>Example</h4>
```js
geolib.toDecimal(`51° 29' 46" N`); // -> 51.59611111
geolib.toDecimal(51.59611111); // -> 51.59611111
```
<pre>geolib.useDecimal("51° 29' 46\" N"); // -> 51.59611111

Returns a decimal value for the given input value.
<h3>geolib.computeDestinationPoint(start, distance, bearing, radius(optional))</h3>
### `computeDestinationPoint(point, distance, bearing, radius = earthRadius)`
Computes the destination point given an initial point, a distance (in meters) and a bearing (in degrees).
Computes the destination point given an initial point, a distance (in meters) and a bearing (in degrees). If no radius is given it defaults to the mean earth radius of 6,371,000 meters.
If no radius is given it defaults to the mean earth radius of 6371000 meter.
Attention: this formula is not _100%_ accurate (but very close though).
Returns an object: `{"latitude": destLat, "longitude": destLng}`
```js
geolib.computeDestinationPoint(
{ latitude: 52.518611, longitude: 13.408056 },
15000,
180
);
```
(Attention: this formula is not *100%* accurate (but very close though))
```js
geolib.computeDestinationPoint(
[13.408056, 52.518611]
15000,
180
);
```
<h4>Example</h4>
Returns the destination in the same format as the input coordinates. So if you pass a GeoJSON point, you will get a GeoJSON point.
<pre>var initialPoint = {lat: 51.516272, lon: 0.45425}
var dist = 1234;
var bearing = 45;
### `getAreaOfPolygon(points)`
geolib.computeDestinationPoint(initialPoint, dist, bearing);
// -> {"latitude":51.52411853234181,"longitude":0.4668623365950795}
</pre>
Calculates the surface area of a polygon.
<h2>Changelog</h2>
<h3>v2.0.23+beta1</h3>
- Dropped support for IE6, IE7, IE8
- Added new methods `geolib.latitude()`, `geolib.longitude()`, `geolib.elevation()` to get latitude, longitude or elevation of points. Will be converted to decimal format automatically
- Added new method `geolib.extend()` to extend geolib object
- Added support for GeoJSON format (`[lon, lat, elev]`)
- Added property `geolib.version` to query the currently used version
- Moved `geolib.elevation` to an optional module (`geolib.elevation.js`)
- Using `Object.create(Geolib.prototype)` instead of object literal `{}`
- New folder structure: compiled `geolib.js` can now be found in `dist/` instead of root dir
- Improved Grunt build task
```js
geolib.getAreaOfPolygon([
[7.453635617650258, 51.49320556213869],
[7.454583481047989, 51.49328893754685],
[7.454778172179346, 51.49240881084831],
[7.453832678225655, 51.49231619246726],
[7.453635617650258, 51.49320556213869],
]);
```
Returns the result as number in square meters.
### `getCoordinateKeys(point)`
Gets the property names of that are used in the point in a normalized form:
```js
geolib.getCoordinateKeys({ lat: 1, lon: 1 });
// -> { latitude: 'lat', longitude: 'lon' }
```
Returns an object with a `latitude` and a `longitude` property. Their values are the property names for latitude and longitude that are used in the passed point. Should probably only be used internally.
### getCoordinateKey(point, keysToLookup)`
Is used by `getCoordinateKeys` under the hood and returns the property name out of a list of possible names.
```js
geolib.getCoordinateKey({ latitude: 1, longitude: 2 }, ['lat', 'latitude']);
// -> latitude
```
Returns the name of the property as string or `undefined` if no there was no match.
### `isValidCoordinate(point)`
Checks if a given point has at least a **latitude** and a **longitude** and is in a supported format.
```js
// true:
geolib.isValidCoordinate({ latitude: 1, longitude: 2 });
// false, longitude is missing:
geolib.isValidCoordinate({ latitude: 1 });
// true, GeoJSON format:
geolib.isValidCoordinate([2, 1]);
```
Returns `true` or `false`.
