TS Error: `inside` does not accept multipolygon

[Charles Richardson]

As per the documentation of the inside method

    /**
     * Takes a {<Point>} and a {<Polygon>} or {<MultiPolygon>} and determines if the point resides inside the polygon. The polygon can be convex or concave. The function accounts for holes.
     *
     * @name [inside](http://turfjs.org/docs/#inside)
     * @param {Feature<Point>} point input point
     * @param {Feature<(Polygon|MultiPolygon)>} polygon input polygon or multipolygon
     * @return {Boolean} `true` if the Point is inside the Polygon; `false` if the Point is not inside the Polygon
     * @example
     * var pt = point([-77, 44])
     * var poly = polygon([[[-81, 41], [-81, 47], [-72, 47], [-72, 41], [-81, 41]]])
     *
     * var isInside = turf.inside(pt, poly)
     *
     * //=isInside
     */
    inside(
      point: GeoJSON.Feature<GeoJSON.Point>,
      polygon: GeoJSON.Feature<GeoJSON.Polygon>
    ): boolean;

It is clearly stated that the method takes a polygon OR multipolygon. However, in the definition of the method, it only includes polygon: GeoJSON.Feature<GeoJSON.Polygon>.

This seems to be a quick fix, just including the Multipolygon type as so... polygon: GeoJSON.Feature<GeoJSON.Polygon> | GeoJSON.Feature<GeoJSON.MultiPolygon>

Is there a reason this is not included?

Additionally, the link in the doc snippet is no longer valid. It seems that the method replacing this is booleanPointInPolygon, but I am still able to use the inside method in my code.

I am depending on:

"@turf/turf": "^6.5.0",
"@types/turf": "^3.5.32",

turf-inside is deprecated. Use booleanPointInPolygon instead. Also pretty sure @types/turf is deprecated as well, I could be wrong but I think you are referencing an unimplemented function because of it.

Closing this for now @charlieforward9. Reopen or raise a new issue if removing @types/turf doesn't help.

Hi I am using React in TypeScript. But I am not able to access the booleanPointinPolygon method when I import @turf/turf. Is this is a current issue? I need to be able to put a Multipolygon as a parameter as well
