ee.Algorithms.ObjectType
Returns a string representing the type of the given object.
Usage | Returns |
---|
ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(value) | String |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|
value | Object, default: null | The object to get the type of. |
Examples
print(ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(1)); // The string "Integer"
print(ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(ee.Number(1))); // The string "Integer"
print(ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(ee.String('a string'))); // The string "String"
print(ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(ee.List([1, 'a string']))); // The string "List"
// ee.Algorithms.ObjectType can be used to get the type of properties
// of ee.Image or ee.Feature objects.
var feature = ee.Feature(
null, // No need for geometry in this example.
{
'int': 42,
'int8': ee.Number(-3).int8(),
});
// The string "Integer"
print('int:', ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(feature.get('int')));
// The string "Long"
print('int8:', ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(feature.get('int8')));
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap
for interactive development.
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
print(ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(ee.Number(1)).getInfo()) # The string "Integer"
print(
ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(ee.String('a string')).getInfo()
) # The string "String"
print(
ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(ee.List([1, 'a string'])).getInfo()
) # The string "List"
# ee.Algorithms.ObjectType can be used to get the type of properties
# of ee.Image or ee.Feature objects.
feature = ee.Feature(
None, # No need for geometry in this example.
{
'int': 42,
'int8': ee.Number(-3).int8(),
}
)
# The string "Integer"
print('int:', ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(feature.get('int')).getInfo())
# The string "Long"
print('int8:', ee.Algorithms.ObjectType(feature.get('int8')).getInfo())
