## shortestPath

Returns the shortest [path][1] from [start][2] to [end][2] without colliding with
any [Feature][3] in [ obstacles][4]

**Parameters**

-   `start` **[Coord][5]** point
-   `end` **[Coord][5]** point
-   `options` **[Object][6]** optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)
    -   `options.obstacles` **([Geometry][7] \| [Feature][8] \| [FeatureCollection][9]&lt;[Polygon][10]>)?** areas which path cannot travel
    -   `options.minDistance` **[number][11]?** minimum distance between shortest path and obstacles
    -   `options.units` **[string][12]** unit in which resolution & minimum distance will be expressed in; it can be degrees, radians, miles, kilometers, ... (optional, default `'kilometers'`)
    -   `options.resolution` **[number][11]** distance between matrix points on which the path will be calculated (optional, default `100`)

**Examples**

```javascript
var start = [-5, -6];
var end = [9, -6];
var options = {
  obstacles: turf.polygon([[[0, -7], [5, -7], [5, -3], [0, -3], [0, -7]]])
};

var path = turf.shortestPath(start, end, options);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [start, end, options.obstacles, path];
```

Returns **[Feature][8]&lt;[LineString][13]>** shortest path between start and end
