Leaflet.PointInPolygon is a Leaflet plugin/extension that provides point-in-polygon functions based on Dan Sunday's C++ winding number implementation. Functions contains(), getWindingNumber(), and isLeft() extend Leaflet classes L.Polygon, L.Polyline, and L.LatLng. The winding number method has an advantage to the crossing number method since "the winding number accurately determines if a point is inside a nonsimple closed polygon" (See Inclusion of a Point in Polygon by Dan Sunday).

Unlike the C++ implementation, points on the lines and vertices are considered as being included in the polygon. As such, the getWindingNumber() function will work for a polyline. The inclusiveness of points on the the polygon lines (and polylines) has a natural interpretation for locations on maps. A future version of Leaflet.PointInPolygon will support the ability to be inclusive or exclusive.

• Leaflet: This has been tested on a variant of Leaflet version 0.7.7, version Leaflet 1.0.3 (from GitHub), and Leaflet.Geodesic dated April 26, 2013.

Leaflet.PointInPolygon is plugin was Originally developed for the Ingress Intel Total Conversion(IITC). If you have a Ingress account, install the Ingress Intel Total Conversion desktop and the install the Portals-in-Polygons plugin.

var polygon = L.polygon([
  [51.51, -0.08],
  [51.503, -0.06],
  [51.51, -0.047]
]).addTo(mymap);
var m1 = L.marker([51.515, -0.07]); // Outside and north of polygon
var m2 = L.marker([51.506, -0.06]); // In polygon, not on border
var m2 = L.marker([51.505, -0.074]); // Inside polygon boundary box but outside of polygon. 
var m2 = L.marker([51.51, -0.067]); // On polygon border.

console.log(polygon.contains(m1.getLatLng()));
// ==> false
console.log(polygon.contains(m2.getLatLng()));
// ==> true
console.log(polygon.contains(m3.getLatLng()));
// ==> false
console.log(polygon.contains(m4.getLatLng()));
// ==> true

Production updates are behind Development updates. The Production CDN has no limits or throttling (but since this is a free service, there's no uptime or support guarantees).
