Description
A polygon is provided as an array of points, which is in geojson format.
wicket.wrtie() incorrectly returns a POINT( ... ) rather than a POLYGON ( ... )
let coords = [
[ 28.324979200606098,-25.74442504898913 ]
[ 28.327136778694015,-25.73978746165716 ]
[ 28.323643915439302,-25.7358147570423 ]
[ 28.317993541281737,-25.736479619044854 ]
[ 28.315835810504456,-25.74111718371399 ]
[ 28.3193286065439,-25.745089909049103 ]
[ 28.324979200606098,-25.74442504898913 ]
]
let wicket = new Wkt.Wkt(`{"coordinates": [${coords}], "type": "Polygon"}`)
console.log(wicket.write())
// POLYGON((28.324979200606098 -25.74442504898913))This is because the above statement turns coords into a string.
So from "coordinates" : [ [ [x,y], [x,y], ... ] ]
into "coordinates" : "x,y,x,y,x,y,...".
This is an invalid format and should rather be "coordinates": "[[[x,y],[x, ],... ]]", however a POINT ( ... ) is still returned as if it was correct notation
Thus the stringified version of coords is invalid, but unfortunately is the result of the syntax shown above and is expected.
Ideally the invalid syntax should be handled and simply thrown as is done with other invalid cases.
Using JSON.stringify is the solution and correct way of stringifying arrays.
