ee.Number.aside

  • The aside method calls a function with the current object as the first argument and returns the same object for method chaining.

  • It can be used for debugging or performing side effects within a method chain.

  • The aside method accepts a function and optional additional arguments.

  • Examples demonstrate its usage in both JavaScript (Code Editor) and Python (Colab).

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.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Print a message when constructing an ee.Number.
var eeNum = ee.Number(10).aside(print, 'An ee.Number was defined');

Python setup

See the Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using geemap for interactive development.

import ee
import geemap.core as geemap

Colab (Python)

def print_result(val, message):
  """A print function to invoke with the aside method."""
  print(val.getInfo())
  print(message)

# Print a message when constructing an ee.Number.
ee_num = ee.Number(10).aside(print_result, 'An ee.Number was defined')
