Earth Engine is introducing
noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. All noncommercial projects will need to select a quota tier by
April 27, 2026 or will use the Community Tier by default. Tier quotas will take effect for all projects (regardless of tier selection date) on
April 27, 2026.

ee.Feature.aside
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
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 | Feature.aside(func, var_args) | ComputedObject |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: computedobject | ComputedObject | The ComputedObject instance. |
func | Function | The function to call. |
var_args | VarArgs[Object] | Any extra arguments to pass to the function. |

[null,null,["Last updated 2026-01-08 UTC."],[],["The `aside` function, applicable to `ComputedObject` instances, executes a provided function (`func`) using the object itself as the initial argument, along with any extra arguments (`var_args`). It then returns the original `ComputedObject`, enabling method chaining. This is useful for debugging or applying side effects. For example, the function is called to print the current state of an `ImageCollection`, filter by date, and bounds, add a layer to the map, and still be able to select certain properties.\n"]]
