ee.FeatureCollection.aside
Calls a function passing this object as the first argument, and returning itself. Convenient e.g. when debugging:
var c = ee.ImageCollection('foo').aside(print)
.filterDate('2001-01-01', '2002-01-01').aside(print, 'In 2001')
.filterBounds(geom).aside(print, 'In region')
.aside(Map.addLayer, {min: 0, max: 142}, 'Filtered')
.select('a', 'b');
Returns the same object, for chaining.
Usage | Returns |
---|
FeatureCollection.aside(func, var_args) | ComputedObject |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|
this: computedobject | ComputedObject | The ComputedObject instance. |
func | Function | The function to call. |
var_args | VarArgs | Any extra arguments to pass to the function. |
Examples
// Get a FeatureCollection of power plants in Belgium. Use "aside" to print the
// collection and display it on the Map.
var fc = ee.FeatureCollection('WRI/GPPD/power_plants')
.filter('country_lg == "Belgium"')
.aside(print, 'Power plants in Belgium')
.aside(Map.centerObject, 7)
.aside(Map.addLayer, {color: 'blue'}, 'Power plants');
