Returns |
Description |
extend(
<Object> dest,
<Object> src?.. )
|
Object |
Merges the properties of the src object (or multiple objects) into dest object and returns the latter. Has an L.extend shortcut. |
bind(
<Function> fn,
<Object> obj )
|
Function |
Returns a function which executes function fn with the given scope obj (so that this keyword refers to obj inside the function code). Has an L.bind shortcut. Not a polyfill for ES 5 bind (compare L.bind to the MDN-recommended polyfill for Function.prototype.bind ). |
stamp( <Object> obj ) |
String |
Applies a unique key to the object and returns that key. Has an L.stamp shortcut. |
requestAnimFrame(
<Function> fn,
<Object> context?,
<Boolean> immediate?,
<HTMLElement> element? )
|
Number |
Schedules fn to be executed when the browser repaints. When immediate is set, fn is called immediately if the browser doesn't have native support for requestAnimationFrame , otherwise it's delayed. Returns an id that can be used to cancel the request. |
cancelAnimFrame(
<Number> id )
|
- |
Cancels a previous request to requestAnimFrame . |
limitExecByInterval(
<Function> fn,
<Number> time,
<Object> context? )
|
Function |
Returns a wrapper around the function fn that makes sure it's called not more often than a certain time interval time , but as fast as possible otherwise (for example, it is used for checking and requesting new tiles while dragging the map), optionally passing the scope (context ) in which the function will be called. |
falseFn() |
Function |
Always returns false . |
formatNum(
<Number> num,
<Number> digits )
|
Number |
Returns the number num rounded to digits decimals. |
splitWords(
<String> str )
|
String[] |
Trims and splits the string on whitespace and returns the array of parts. |
setOptions(
<Object> obj,
<Object> options )
|
Object |
Merges the given properties to the options of the obj object, returning the resulting options. See Class options. Has an L.setOptions shortcut. |
getParamString(
<Object> obj )
|
String |
Converts an object into a parameter URL string, e.g. {a: "foo", b: "bar"} translates to '?a=foo&b=bar' . |
template(
<String> str, <Object> data )
|
String |
Simple templating facility, accepts a template string of the form 'Hello {a}, {b}' and a data object like {a: 'foo', b: 'bar'} , returns evaluated string ('Hello foo, bar' ). You can also specify functions instead of strings for data values — they will be evaluated passing data as an argument. |
isArray(
<Object> obj )
|
Boolean |
Returns true if the given object is an array. |
trim(
<String> str )
|
String |
Trims the whitespace from both ends of the string and returns the result. |
