Methods

add(dataSource)Promise.<DataSource>

Adds a data source to the collection.
Name Type Description
dataSource DataSource | Promise.<DataSource> A data source or a promise to a data source to add to the collection. When passing a promise, the data source will not actually be added to the collection until the promise resolves successfully.
Returns:
A Promise that resolves once the data source has been added to the collection.

contains(dataSource)Boolean

Checks to see if the collection contains a given data source.
Name Type Description
dataSource DataSource The data source to check for.
Returns:
true if the collection contains the data source, false otherwise.
Destroys the resources held by all data sources in this collection. Explicitly destroying this object allows for deterministic release of WebGL resources, instead of relying on the garbage collector. Once this object is destroyed, it should not be used; calling any function other than isDestroyed will result in a DeveloperError exception. Therefore, assign the return value (undefined) to the object as done in the example.
Throws:
  • DeveloperError : This object was destroyed, i.e., destroy() was called.
Example:
dataSourceCollection = dataSourceCollection && dataSourceCollection.destroy();

indexOf(dataSource)Number
