ee.Number.aside

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.

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')
