Tutorial: Style features

Learn how to use data-driven styling to apply colors and styles to .

Style a feature layer using API key authentication

A is a dataset in a hosted in . Each feature layer contains with a single type (point, line, or polygon), and a set of .

In this tutorial, you apply different styles to enhance the visualization of the Trailheads, Trails, and Parks and Open Spaces feature layers.

Prerequisites

Steps

Get the starter app

Select a type of authentication below and follow the steps to create a new application.

You can choose one of the following to create a new CodePen:

  • Option 1: Complete the Display a scene tutorial; or,
  • Option 2: Start from the Display a scene tutorial .

Set up authentication

Create in your for the type of authentication you selected.

Create a new with the correct privileges to access the resources used in this tutorial.

  1. Go to the Create an API key tutorial and create an with the following :
    • Privileges
      • Location services > Basemaps
    • Item access
      • Note: If you are using your own custom data layer for this tutorial, you need to grant the access to the layer item. Learn more in Item access privileges.
  2. Copy the API key access token to your clipboard when prompted.

Set developer credentials

Use the API key or OAuth created in the previous step in your application.

  1. Add <script> elements in the HTML <body> and create an accessToken variable to store your . Set YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with the access token you previously copied from your .

Get a Cesium ion access token

All Cesium applications must use an access token provided through Cesium ion. This token allows you to access assets such as Cesium World Terrain in your application.

  1. Go to your Cesium ion dashboard to generate an access token. Copy the key to your clipboard.

  2. Create a cesiumAccessToken variable and replace YOUR_CESIUM_ACCESS_TOKEN with the access token you copied from the Cesium ion dashboard.

Style trailheads (points) with icons

To style a feature layer with custom icons, add the layer as a GeoJsonDataSource and iterate through each Entity created by the layer. Set the Billboard property to style the points with trailhead icons.

  1. Use arcgisRest.queryFeatures to make an authenticated request to the Trailheads URL. Format the response as GeoJSON, then add it to your scene as a GeoJsonDataSource.

Style parks (polygons) by type

You can create a categorical rendering of parks based on their values. Render the polygon features from the Parks and Open Space feature layer with different colors based on the type of land they represent.

  1. Call the arcgisRest.queryFeatures opeartion to make an authenticated request to the Parks and Open Space URL. Format the response as GeoJSON and add it to the scene as a GeoJsonDataSource.

Your map should display the trailheads, trails, and open spaces in the Santa Monica Mountains:

  • Each trailhead should be represented with a hiker icon.
  • Each trail should have a custom width based on its total elevation gain.
  • Each park should be assigned a color based on its type.
