Classdesc

Abstract base class; normally only used for creating subclasses and not instantiated in apps. Most non-trivial classes inherit from this.

This extends ol.Observable with observable properties, where each property is observable as well as the object as a whole.

Classes that inherit from this have pre-defined properties, to which you can add your owns. The pre-defined properties are listed in this documentation as 'Observable Properties', and have their own accessors; for example, ol.Map has a target property, accessed with getTarget() and changed with setTarget(). Not all properties are however settable. There are also general-purpose accessors get() and set(). For example, get('target') is equivalent to getTarget().

The set accessors trigger a change event, and you can monitor this by registering a listener. For example, ol.View has a center property, so view.on('change:center', function(evt) {...}); would call the function whenever the value of the center property changes. Within the function, evt.target would be the view, so evt.target.getCenter() would return the new center.

You can add your own observable properties with object.set('prop', 'value'), and retrieve that with object.get('prop'). You can listen for changes on that property value with object.on('change:prop', listener). You can get a list of all properties with object.getProperties().

Note that the observable properties are separate from standard JS properties. You can, for example, give your map object a title with map.title='New title' and with map.set('title', 'Another title'). The first will be a hasOwnProperty; the second will appear in getProperties(). Only the second is observable.

Properties can be deleted by using the unset method. E.g. object.unset('foo').

        [k: string]: any;
    }

    Object.

    • [k: string]: any

  • Get the version number for this object. Each time the object is modified, its version number will be incremented.

    Returns number

    Revision.

  • Listen for a certain type of event.

    Parameters

    • type: string | string[]

      The event type or array of event types.

      The listener function.

    • Optional opt_this: Object

      The object to use as this in listener.

    Returns Object | Object[]

    Unique key for the listener. If called with an array of event types as the first argument, the return will be an array of keys.

    • Optional opt_silent: boolean

      Update without triggering an event.

    Returns void

    Api

    stable

  • Sets a collection of key-value pairs. Note that this changes any existing properties and adds new ones (it does not remove any existing properties).

    Parameters

    • Optional opt_this: Object

      The object which was used as this by the listener.

    Returns void

    Api
