nearestPoint

Description

Takes a reference point and a FeatureCollection of Features with Point geometries and returns the point from the FeatureCollection closest to the reference. This calculation is geodesic.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
targetPoint	Coord	the reference point
points	FeatureCollection<Point>	against input point set
options?	Object	Optional parameters (default {})
options.units?	string	the units of the numeric result (default 'kilometers')

Returns

Feature<Point> the closest point in the set to the reference point

Examples

var targetPoint = turf.point([28.965797, 41.010086], {
  "marker-color": "#0F0",
});
var points = turf.featureCollection([
  turf.point([28.973865, 41.011122]),
  turf.point([28.948459, 41.024204]),
  turf.point([28.938674, 41.013324]),
]);

var nearest = turf.nearestPoint(targetPoint, points);
