Generates a bounding box around a GeoJSON feature.
npm install @turf/bboxCalculates the bounding box for any GeoJSON object, including FeatureCollection.
Uses geojson.bbox if available and options.recompute is not set.
* geojson [GeoJSON][1] any GeoJSON object
* options [Object][2] Optional parameters (optional, default {})
* options.recompute [boolean][3]? Whether to ignore an existing bbox property on geojson
``javascript
var line = turf.lineString([[-74, 40], [-78, 42], [-82, 35]]);
var bbox = turf.bbox(line);
var bboxPolygon = turf.bboxPolygon(bbox);
//addToMap
var addToMap = [line, bboxPolygon]
`
Returns [BBox][4] bbox extent in \[minX, minY, maxX, maxY] order
