Methods

experimental inherited bindTo(key, target, opt_targetKey){ol.ObjectAccessor}

The bindTo method allows you to set up a two-way binding between a source and target object. The method returns an ol.ObjectAccessor with a transform method that lets you transform values on the way from the source to the target and on the way back.

For example, if you had two map views (sourceView and targetView) and you wanted the target view to have double the resolution of the source view, you could transform the resolution on the way to and from the target with the following:

sourceView.bindTo('resolution', targetView)
  .transform(
    function(sourceResolution) {
      // from sourceView.resolution to targetView.resolution
      return 2 * sourceResolution;
    },
    function(targetResolution) {
      // from targetView.resolution to sourceView.resolution
      return targetResolution / 2;
    }
  );
Name Type Argument Description
key string

Key name.

target ol.Object

Target.

targetKey string <optional>
optional

Target key.

experimental clear()

Remove all elements from the collection.

experimental inherited dispatchChangeEvent()

Dispatches a change event. Register a listener for this event to get notified of changes.

Fires:
  • change

experimental extend(arr){ol.Collection}

Name Type Description
arr Array

Array.

Returns:
collection.

experimental forEach(f, opt_this)

The function to call for every element. This function takes 3 arguments (the element, the index and the array). The return value is ignored.

this S <optional>
optional

The object to use as this in f.

experimental inherited get(key){*}

Gets a value.

Name Type Description
key string

Key name.

experimental getArray(){Array}

Get a reference to the underlying Array object. Warning: if the array is mutated, no events will be dispatched by the collection, and the collection's "length" property won't be in sync with the actual length of the array.

experimental getAt(index){*}

Get the element at the provided index.

Name Type Description
index number

Index.

experimental insertAt(index, elem)

Insert an element at the provided index.

Name Type Description
index number

Index.

elem *

Element.

experimental inherited notify(key)

Notify all observers of a change on this property. This notifies both objects that are bound to the object's property as well as the object that it is bound to.

Returns:
key for the listener.

experimental pop(){*}

Remove the last element of the collection.

experimental push(elem){number}

Insert the provided element at the end of the collection.

Name Type Description
elem *

Element.

experimental remove(elem){*}

Name Type Argument Description
type string | Array.<string>

The event type or array of event types.

listener function

The listener function.

this Object <optional>
optional

The object to use as this in listener.

experimental inherited unbind(key)

Key name.

experimental inherited unbindAll()

Removes all bindings.

experimental inherited unByKey(key)

Removes an event listener using the key returned by on() or once().

Name Type Description
