Checks if a point is inside an area, like a city boundary.
npm install @turf/boolean-point-in-polygonTakes a [Point][1] and a [Polygon][2] or [MultiPolygon][3] and determines if the point
resides inside the polygon. The polygon can be convex or concave. The function accounts for holes.
* point [Coord][4] input point
* polygon [Feature][5]<([Polygon][2] | [MultiPolygon][3])> input polygon or multipolygon
* options [Object][6] Optional parameters (optional, default {})
* options.ignoreBoundary [boolean][7] True if polygon boundary should be ignored when determining if
the point is inside the polygon otherwise false. (optional, default false)
``javascript
var pt = turf.point([-77, 44]);
var poly = turf.polygon([[
[-81, 41],
[-81, 47],
[-72, 47],
[-72, 41],
[-81, 41]
]]);
turf.booleanPointInPolygon(pt, poly);
//= true
`
Returns [boolean][7] true if the Point is inside the Polygon; false if the Point is not inside the Polygon
