parse-coordinates

Parse coordinate strings.

Synopsis

var latLng = require('parse-coordinates');

var coords = latLng('-80.21, 21.32');
// => [-80.21, 21.32]

Description

  var coords = latLng('-80.21, 21.32');
  // => [-80.21, 21.32]

The function returned parses a comma separated latitude and longitude pair and returns them as an array.

Latitude is validated to range from -90 to 90. Longitude value is validated to range from -180 to 180.

Leading and trailing space are tolerated in the string, as well as around the comma.

If the parsing fails for any reason, null is returned instead of the array.
