Highlight a feature on the map based on user interaction with a feature table. The two examples below provide a "highlight" function. In both cases, the application would be responsible for getting a feature based on user interaction with a feature table. The highlight function just shows the code necessary to highlight the feature on the map.

master.js

/**
 * Layer with a style that provides symbolizers for
 * the "selected" render intent defined elsewhere.
 */

function highlight(feature) {
  feature.setRenderIntent('selected');
}

vector-api.js

/**
 * Layer and highlightStyle defined elsewhere.
 */

function highlight(feature) {
  var geometry = feature.getGeometry();
  map.requestRenderFrame();
  layer.setRenderGeometryFunction(function(candidate) {
    return geometry !== candidate;
  });
  map.on('postcompose', function(evt) {
    var render = evt.getRender();
    render.drawFeature(feature, highlightStyle);
  });
}
