turf-intersect

intersect

Takes two polygons and finds their intersection. If they share a border, returns the border; if they don't intersect, returns undefined.

Parameters

• poly1 Feature<Polygon> the first polygon
• poly2 Feature<Polygon> the second polygon

Examples

var poly1 = {
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {
    "fill": "#0f0"
  },
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Polygon",
    "coordinates": [[
      [-122.801742, 45.48565],
      [-122.801742, 45.60491],
      [-122.584762, 45.60491],
      [-122.584762, 45.48565],
      [-122.801742, 45.48565]
    ]]
  }
}
var poly2 = {
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {
    "fill": "#00f"
  },
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Polygon",
    "coordinates": [[
      [-122.520217, 45.535693],
      [-122.64038, 45.553967],
      [-122.720031, 45.526554],
      [-122.669906, 45.507309],
      [-122.723464, 45.446643],
      [-122.532577, 45.408574],
      [-122.487258, 45.477466],
      [-122.520217, 45.535693]
    ]]
  }
}

var polygons = {
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [poly1, poly2]
};

var intersection = turf.intersect(poly1, poly2);

//=polygons

//=intersection

Returns (Feature<Polygon> | undefined | Feature<MultiLineString>) if poly1 and poly2 overlap, returns a Polygon feature representing the area they overlap; if poly1 and poly2 do not overlap, returns undefined; if poly1 and poly2 share a border, a MultiLineString of the locations where their borders are shared
