LayerNode class

The LayerNode class is an abstraction of the layer object from ArcGIS API for JavaScript. It contains the reference to the parent or child layers and allows you to access layers using a unified interface regardless of the root layer, sublayer, or layer type such as FeatureLayer, ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer, KMLLayer, and so on.

AMD Module Require

require(["jimu/LayerNode"], function(LayerNode) { /* code goes here */ });

Constructor

LayerNode has no constructor. It can only be retrieved from LayerStructure.
