ConvertArea similar to convertDistance

[wnordmann]

The area functions return Square Meters, is there a convertArea function similar to convertDistance?

If it doesn't exist is there a plan to add one? I would be happy to tackle this function if any guidance could be offered.

👍 Currently there's no plan to add convertArea, however it would be beneficial to add this type of feature to @turf/helpers which could be implemented very similar to convertDistance

I reckon that would be a handy addition thanks @wnordmann ! The reference @DenisCarriere is hopefully a starting point but feel free to sing out if you need more assistance.

I understand the code / algorithm fine. Just wondering if you have a recommend source of area conversion factors. I see the attention to accuracy used for the distance measure.
