Document hooks in openlayers.api.php [#2539450]

Create an openlayers.api.php file to document hooks provided by Openlayers.

Original description:

Is there any way to dynamically alter objects in the new Openlayers 3.x? In 2.x, there was hook_openlayers_map_preprocess_alter() for altering a map before it is rendered.

For my specific use case, I would like to provide a map in module A, and alter it in module B (so that module B can be turned on/off, and the alteration will do the same).

Ah ha... I found two drupal_alter()s:

In \Drupal\openlayers\Types\Object->preBuild()

drupal_alter('openlayers_object_preprocess', $build, $this);

And ...->postBuild()

drupal_alter('openlayers_object_postprocess', $build, $this);

I will give that a try.

Should there be an openlayers.API.php to document these? Are there other hooks or alters available?

Hello,

Yes indeed, you have the preBuild() and postBuild() methods, but you also have the hook_openlayers_object_postprocess_alter() and hook_openlayers_object_preprocess_alter().

And yes this should be defined in a .api.php file...
