# Externs
This directory contains externs files, which tell the Closure compiler about symbols and properties that it should not rename.
## oli.js
These are special externs that belong to OpenLayers, and this document explains their purpose and how they are used.
### Prevent class properties from being renamed
For events, we make properties available to the application. Methods can be made available by just marking them with the `@api` annotation directly where they are defined; properties should also be added to `oli.js`:
```js
/**
* @interface
*/
oli.MapBrowserEvent = function() {};
/**
* @type {ol.Coordinate}
*/
oli.MapBrowserEvent.prototype.coordinate;
```
In the source file (`src/ol/MapBrowserEvent.js`), the class needs to implement this interface:
```js
/**
* ...
* @constructor
* @implements {oli.MapBrowserEvent}
*/
ol.MapBrowserEvent = function(type, map, originalEvent, opt_frameState) {
// ...
/**
* @type {ol.Coordinate}
* @api
*/
this.coordinate = map.getEventCoordinate(this.originalEvent);
// ...
};
```
### Override methods in custom classes
For custom subclasses in applications, which can be created using `ol.inherits`, the API may want to make certain methods available to override. In addition to marking such methods as `@api`, they should also be added to an interface in `oli.js`:
```js
/**
* @interface
*/
oli.control.Control = function() {};
/**
* @param {ol.PluggableMap} map Map.
* @return {undefined} Undefined.
*/
oli.control.Control.prototype.setMap = function(map) {};
```
This interface must be implemented by the class in the source file (`src/ol/control/control.js`):
```js
/**
* ...
* @constructor
* @implements {oli.control.Control}
*/
ol.control.Control = function(options) {
// ...
};
// ...
/**
* Application subclasses may override this.
* @param {ol.PluggableMap} map Map.
* @api
*/
ol.control.Control.prototype.setMap = function(map) {
// ...
};
```
See Custom controls example for an example of how this can be used.
