Page Summary
-
The
aside()function calls a given function with the object itself as the first argument and returns the object for chaining. -
It's useful for debugging and inspecting objects at different stages of a chained operation.
-
The
aside()function can accept additional arguments to pass to the function being called. -
The example demonstrates using
aside()to print a FeatureCollection and add it to the Map in the Google Earth Engine Code Editor.
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.
