## getCoord

Unwrap a coordinate from a Point Feature, Geometry or a single coordinate.

### Parameters

*   `coord` **([Array][1]<[number][2]> | [Geometry][3]<[Point][4]> | [Feature][5]<[Point][4]>)** GeoJSON Point or an Array of numbers

### Examples

```javascript
var pt = turf.point([10, 10]);

var coord = turf.getCoord(pt);
//= [10, 10]
```

Returns **[Array][1]<[number][2]>** coordinates

## getCoords

Unwrap coordinates from a Feature, Geometry Object or an Array

### Parameters

*   `coords` **([Array][1]\<any> | [Geometry][3] | [Feature][5])** Feature, Geometry Object or an Array

### Examples

```javascript
var poly = turf.polygon([[[119.32, -8.7], [119.55, -8.69], [119.51, -8.54], [119.32, -8.7]]]);

var coords = turf.getCoords(poly);
//= [[[119.32, -8.7], [119.55, -8.69], [119.51, -8.54], [119.32, -8.7]]]
```

Returns **[Array][1]\<any>** coordinates

## containsNumber

Checks if coordinates contains a number

### Parameters

*   `coordinates` **[Array][1]\<any>** GeoJSON Coordinates

Returns **[boolean][6]** true if Array contains a number

## geojsonType

Enforce expectations about types of GeoJSON objects for Turf.

### Parameters

*   `value` **[GeoJSON][7]** any GeoJSON object
*   `type` **[string][8]** expected GeoJSON type
*   `name` **[string][8]** name of calling function

<!---->

*   Throws **[Error][9]** if value is not the expected type.

Returns **void**&#x20;

## featureOf

Enforce expectations about types of [Feature][5] inputs for Turf.
Internally this uses [geojsonType][10] to judge geometry types.

### Parameters

*   `feature` **[Feature][5]** a feature with an expected geometry type
*   `type` **[string][8]** expected GeoJSON type
*   `name` **[string][8]** name of calling function

<!---->

*   Throws **[Error][9]** error if value is not the expected type.

Returns **void**&#x20;

## collectionOf

Enforce expectations about types of [FeatureCollection][11] inputs for Turf.
Internally this uses [geojsonType][10] to judge geometry types.

### Parameters

*   `featureCollection` **[FeatureCollection][11]** a FeatureCollection for which features will be judged
*   `type` **[string][8]** expected GeoJSON type
*   `name` **[string][8]** name of calling function

<!---->

*   Throws **[Error][9]** if value is not the expected type.

## getGeom

Get Geometry from Feature or Geometry Object

### Parameters

*   `geojson` **([Feature][5] | [Geometry][3])** GeoJSON Feature or Geometry Object

### Examples

```javascript
var point = {
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {},
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": [110, 40]
  }
}
var geom = turf.getGeom(point)
//={"type": "Point", "coordinates": [110, 40]}
```

*   Throws **[Error][9]** if geojson is not a Feature or Geometry Object

Returns **([Geometry][3] | null)** GeoJSON Geometry Object

## getType

Get GeoJSON object's type, Geometry type is prioritize.

### Parameters

*   `geojson` **[GeoJSON][7]** GeoJSON object
*   `_name` **[string][8]?**&#x20;
*   `name` **[string][8]** name of the variable to display in error message (unused) (optional, default `"geojson"`)

### Examples

```javascript
var point = {
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {},
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": [110, 40]
  }
}
var geom = turf.getType(point)
//="Point"
```

Returns **[string][8]** GeoJSON type
