OpenLayers draw shortest path between two points near [-180] [180] longitude

Question

I have two points I would like to connect via line string:

 var a = ol.proj.fromLonLat([-159.6597257, 21.995953]);
 var b = ol.proj.fromLonLat([166.644261, 19.279499]);

Is there a way to draw this line in a way it would not cross the globe.

Answer 1

OpenLayers understands "wrapped" coorrdinates. Use either

 var a = ol.proj.fromLonLat([360 - 159.6597257, 21.995953]);

or

var b = ol.proj.fromLonLat([166.644261 - 360, 19.279499]);
