const shortestDistance = require('short-distance');

const startingPoint = {
latitude: 37.77,
longitude: -122.41
};

const options = [
{
latitude: 37.77,
longitude: -122.43
},
{
latitude: 37.79,
longitude: -122.40
}
];

const shortest = shortestDistance(startingPoint, options);

console.log(shortest.index); // Index of closest option
console.log(shortest.distance); // Distance to closest option in miles
