ee.FeatureCollection.makeArray

Add a 1-D Array to each feature in a collection by combining a list of properties for each feature into a 1-D Array. All of the properties must be numeric values. If a feature doesn't contain all of the named properties, or any of them aren't numeric, the feature will be dropped from the resulting collection.

Usage	Returns
FeatureCollection.makeArray(properties, name)	FeatureCollection

Argument	Type	Details
this: collection	FeatureCollection	The input collection from which properties will be selected.
properties	List	The properties to select.
name	String, default: "array"	The name of the new array property.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// FeatureCollection of power plants in Belgium.
var fc = ee.FeatureCollection('WRI/GPPD/power_plants')
            .filter('country_lg == "Belgium"');

// A list of feature properties to combine into an array
// (power generation by year).
var properties = ['gwh_2013', 'gwh_2014', 'gwh_2015', 'gwh_2016'];

// Add array of power-generation-by-year property to features.
fc = fc.makeArray(properties, 'gwh_by_year');

print('FeatureCollection with array of selected properties added', fc);
print('See example of new "gwh_by_year" property', fc.first().toDictionary());
