In 2023, data breaches surged 78% from zero-day and supply chain attacks, but developers are still buried under alerts that are unable to prevent these threats.
turf-distance
Advanced tools
Calculates the distance between two points in degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers. This uses the Haversine formula to account for global curvature.
Parameters
from
Feature<Point> origin pointto
Feature<Point> destination pointunits
[String] can be degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers (optional, default kilometers
)Examples
var from = {
"type": "Feature",
"properties": {},
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [-75.343, 39.984]
}
};
var to = {
"type": "Feature",
"properties": {},
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [-75.534, 39.123]
}
};
var units = "miles";
var points = {
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [from, to]
};
//=points
var distance = turf.distance(from, to, units);
//=distance
Returns Number distance between the two points
