Geodestic measures in OL 5?

Question

This example, url below, uses OL-3 with an option to do geodestic measures uses "var wgs84Sphere = new ol.Sphere(6378137);"

http://www.rhone-mediterranee.eaufrance.fr/milieux-aquatiques/poissons/js/openlayers-v3.19.1/examples/measure.html

How can I set the same variable ("wgs84Sphere") to be used by OL version 5?!

Answer 1

ol/Sphere no longer exists in OpenLayers 5, if you want to measure use ol/sphere methods getArea and getDistance.
