## union

Takes a collection of input polygons and returns a combined polygon. If the
input polygons are not contiguous, this function returns a multi-polygon
feature.

### Parameters

*   `features` **[FeatureCollection][1]<([Polygon][2] | [MultiPolygon][3])>** input polygon features
*   `options` **[Object][4]** Optional Parameters (optional, default `{}`)

    *   `options.properties` **[GeoJsonProperties][5]** properties to assign to output feature (optional, default `{}`)

### Examples

```javascript
const poly1 = turf.polygon(
  [
    [
      [-82.574787, 35.594087],
      [-82.574787, 35.615581],
      [-82.545261, 35.615581],
      [-82.545261, 35.594087],
      [-82.574787, 35.594087],
    ],
  ],
  { fill: "#0f0" }
);

const poly2 = turf.polygon(
  [
    [
      [-82.560024, 35.585153],
      [-82.560024, 35.602602],
      [-82.52964, 35.602602],
      [-82.52964, 35.585153],
      [-82.560024, 35.585153],
    ],
  ],
);

const union = turf.union(turf.featureCollection([poly1, poly2]));

//addToMap
const addToMap = { poly1, poly2, union };

poly1.properties.fill = "#0f0";
poly2.properties.fill = "#00f";
union.properties.stroke = "red";
union.properties["stroke-width"] = 4;
union.properties.fill = "transparent";
```

Returns **([Feature][5]<([Polygon][2] | [MultiPolygon][3])> | null)** a combined polygon or multi-polygon feature, or null if there were no input polygons to combine
