Checks if two geometries have an area of overlap without one being completely contained inside the other.
npm install @turf/boolean-overlapCompares two geometries of the same dimension and returns true if their intersection set results in a geometry
different from both but of the same dimension. It applies to Polygon/Polygon, LineString/LineString,
Multipoint/Multipoint, MultiLineString/MultiLineString and MultiPolygon/MultiPolygon.
In other words, it returns true if the two geometries overlap, provided that neither completely contains the other.
* feature1 ([Geometry][1] | [Feature][2]<([LineString][3] | [MultiLineString][4] | [Polygon][5] | [MultiPolygon][6])>) input
* feature2 ([Geometry][1] | [Feature][2]<([LineString][3] | [MultiLineString][4] | [Polygon][5] | [MultiPolygon][6])>) input
``javascript
var poly1 = turf.polygon([[[0,0],[0,5],[5,5],[5,0],[0,0]]]);
var poly2 = turf.polygon([[[1,1],[1,6],[6,6],[6,1],[1,1]]]);
var poly3 = turf.polygon([[[10,10],[10,15],[15,15],[15,10],[10,10]]]);
turf.booleanOverlap(poly1, poly2)
//=true
turf.booleanOverlap(poly2, poly3)
//=false
`
Returns [boolean][7] true/false
