Check if a rectangle overlaps other one

JavaScript version

// Returns true if `a` overlaps `b`
// (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are top-left and bottom-right corners
const overlaps = (a, b) => (a.x1 < b.x2 && b.x1 < a.x2) || (a.y1 < b.y2 && b.y1 < a.y2);

TypeScript version

interface Rect {
    x1: number;
    x2: number;
    y1: number;
    y2: number;
}

const contains = (a: Rect, b: Rect): boolean => (a.x1 < b.x2 && b.x1 < a.x2) || (a.y1 < b.y2 && b.y1 < a.y2);
