Remove All Features from Vector Layer in OpenLayers 3

Question

Looking at the OpenLayers 3 ol.source.Vector docs, I can see that there exists a method ol.Vector.removeFeature(feature).

Does this mean the best way to remove all the features from a vector layer would be something like this...?

var iter = layer.getFeatures().values();
while (!(entry = iter.next()).done) { 
    layer.removeFeature(entry.value); 
}

Or is there better way?

Answer 1

Ok let's try again.

If you look closer at the docs you will see that ol.source.Vector has a clear method that you can use to remove all the features from the source.

See http://openlayers.org/en/v3.0.0/apidoc/ol.source.Vector.html#clear

This is how you will use that method:

vectorSource.clear()
