Class: Feature

ol.Feature


A vector object for geographic features with a geometry and other attribute properties, similar to the features in vector file formats like GeoJSON.

Features can be styled individually with setStyle; otherwise they use the style of their vector layer.

Note that attribute properties are set as ol.Object properties on the feature object, so they are observable, and have get/set accessors.

Typically, a feature has a single geometry property. You can set the geometry using the setGeometry method and get it with getGeometry. It is possible to store more than one geometry on a feature using attribute properties. By default, the geometry used for rendering is identified by the property name geometry. If you want to use another geometry property for rendering, use the setGeometryName method to change the attribute property associated with the geometry for the feature. For example:

var feature = new ol.Feature({
  geometry: new ol.geom.Polygon(polyCoords),
  labelPoint: new ol.geom.Point(labelCoords),
  name: 'My Polygon'
});

// get the polygon geometry
var poly = feature.getGeometry();

// Render the feature as a point using the coordinates from labelPoint
feature.setGeometryName('labelPoint');

// get the point geometry
var point = feature.getGeometry();

new ol.Feature(opt_geometryOrProperties)

src/ol/feature.js, line 57
Name Type Description
geometryOrProperties ol.geom.Geometry | Object.<string, *>=

You may pass a Geometry object directly, or an object literal containing properties. If you pass an object literal, you may include a Geometry associated with a geometry key.

Observable Properties

Name Type Settable ol.Object.Event type Description
geometry ol.geom.Geometry | undefined yes change:geometry

The default geometry for the feature.

Methods

changed() inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 58

Increases the revision counter and dispatches a 'change' event.

clone(){ol.Feature}

src/ol/feature.js, line 118

Clone this feature. If the original feature has a geometry it is also cloned. The feature id is not set in the clone.

Returns:
The clone.

dispatchEvent(event) inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 75

Dispatches an event and calls all listeners listening for events of this type. The event parameter can either be a string or an Object with a type property.

Name Type Description
event Object | ol.events.Event | string

Event object.

get(key){*} inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 101

Gets a value.

Name Type Description
key string

Key name.

Returns:
Value.

getCercaliaObject(){cercalia.Marker|cercalia.Feature|null}

src/cercalia/index.js, line 313
Returns:
Cercalia Object linked

getGeometry(){ol.geom.Geometry|undefined}

src/ol/feature.js, line 141

Get the feature's default geometry. A feature may have any number of named geometries. The "default" geometry (the one that is rendered by default) is set when calling ol.Feature#setGeometry.

Returns:
The default geometry for the feature.

getGeometryName(){string}

src/ol/feature.js, line 166

Get the name of the feature's default geometry. By default, the default geometry is named geometry.

Returns:
Get the property name associated with the default geometry for this feature.

getId(){number|string|undefined}

src/ol/feature.js, line 154

Get the feature identifier. This is a stable identifier for the feature and is either set when reading data from a remote source or set explicitly by calling ol.Feature#setId.

Returns:
Id.

getKeys(){Array.<string>} inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 115

Get a list of object property names.

Returns:
List of property names.

getProperties(){Object.<string, *>} inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 125

Get an object of all property names and values.

Returns:
Object.

getRevision(){number} inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 84

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

Returns:
Revision.

getStyle(){ol.style.Style|Array.<ol.style.Style>|ol.FeatureStyleFunction|ol.StyleFunction}

src/ol/feature.js, line 178

Get the feature's style. Will return what was provided to the ol.Feature#setStyle method.

Returns:
The feature style.

getStyleFunction(){ol.FeatureStyleFunction|undefined}

src/ol/feature.js, line 189

Get the feature's style function.

Returns:
Return a function representing the current style of this feature.

getWKT(){string|null}

src/cercalia/index.js, line 328

Return WKT from feature

Returns:
Geometry string in WKT format

on(type, listener, opt_this){ol.EventsKey|Array.<ol.EventsKey>} inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 99

Listen for a certain type of event.

Name Type Description
type string | Array.<string>

The event type or array of event types.

listener function

The listener function.

this Object

The object to use as this in listener.

Returns:
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.

once(type, listener, opt_this){ol.EventsKey|Array.<ol.EventsKey>} inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 124

Listen once for a certain type of event.

Name Type Description
type string | Array.<string>

The event type or array of event types.

listener function

The listener function.

this Object

The object to use as this in listener.

Returns:
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.

set(key, value, opt_silent) inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 150

Sets a value.

Name Type Description
key string

Key name.

value *

Value.

silent boolean

Update without triggering an event.

setGeometry(geometry)

src/ol/feature.js, line 226

Set the default geometry for the feature. This will update the property with the name returned by ol.Feature#getGeometryName.

Name Type Description
geometry ol.geom.Geometry | undefined

The new geometry.

setGeometryName(name)

src/ol/feature.js, line 270

Set the property name to be used when getting the feature's default geometry. When calling ol.Feature#getGeometry, the value of the property with this name will be returned.

Name Type Description
name string

The property name of the default geometry.

setId(id)

src/ol/feature.js, line 257

Set the feature id. The feature id is considered stable and may be used when requesting features or comparing identifiers returned from a remote source. The feature id can be used with the ol.source.Vector#getFeatureById method.

Name Type Description
id number | string | undefined

The feature id.

Fires:

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).

Name Type Description
values Object.<string, *>

Values.

silent boolean
