Methods

get(opts_or_callback, responseCallback){*|undefined} inherited

This method performs a request to this configured service using the supplied options, options set on the constructor, and defaults. The response is handled asynchronously by a callback.

This method calls on possibly sub-classed methods:

  • getServiceOptions to combine and extend call options with the base options
  • processResponse to process the response before handing it off to the responseCallback.

NOTE

The primary function of a service is to generate a URL. Although this call exists on this object, this get call may not be used by certain components, such as alk.source.XYZSource. That is because the tile source will just use getURL call to get the URL, which may be a template with {x}, {y}, {z}, and make the get XHR requests on its own. Therefore, the intercept points, such as processResponse will not be engaged for those calls.

Name Type Description
opts_or_callback Object | function

This parameter contains any options that override options that are set on this object for this particular request.
responseCallback function

This parameter is the function that handles the response.

getAttribution(opts_or_callback, responseCallback){*|undefined} inherited

This method performs a request to this configured service using the supplied options, options set on the constructor, and defaults to get the service's attribution, should it have one. This call results in Object, which may be a parsed JSON response.

Name Type Description
opts_or_callback Object | function

This parameter contains any options that override options that are set on this object for this particular request.
responseCallback function

This parameter is the function that handles the response.

getServiceOptions(options){Object} inherited

This method returns the base options that was used to create this Service object and override them with the given options;

Name Type Description
options Object
Returns:
The combined options.

getURL(opt_options){string} inherited

Returns the URL for the service based on the given options, options set on the constructor, and defaults.

Name Type Description
options Object

These options override any relevant options that are set on the object at its construction.

processResponse(options, obj){Object} inherited

This method processes the response from the server before it gives it to the callback. The default is to pass through.

NOTE

This intercept point will only be called if the request was initiated with the get call.

Name Type Description
options Object

The call options combined with the base options used for the call.
obj Object

The object received from the server.
