Perform a feature analysis

Learn how to perform a hot spot feature analysis with the spatial analysis service.

Run a find hot spot analysis on traffic and parking violations in San Francisco.

A feature analysis is the process of using the spatial analysis service to perform server-side geometric and analytic operations on feature data. All feature analysis requests are job requests. The easiest way to programmatically run an analysis request to the spatial analysis service is to use ArcGIS REST JS, which provides a Job class that handles long- running operations.

In this tutorial, you use ArcGIS REST JS to perform a hot spot analysis to find statistically significant clusters of parking violations.

Prerequisites

You need the following to access the spatial analysis service and perform feature analysis operations:

Steps

Get the starter code

  1. Download the tutorial starter code zip file from the portal.
  2. Unzip the folder and open it in a text editor of your choice, such as Visual Studio Code. The starter app includes the following:
    • callback.html: This contains callback as part of the authentication process.
    • index.html: This contains app logic and the OAuth 2.0 code necessary to perform the authentication.

Set up authentication

Create a new OAuth credential to register the application.

  1. Go to the Create OAuth credentials for user authentication tutorial to get an OAuth credential.
  2. Copy the Client ID and Redirect URL from your OAuth credentials item and paste them to a safe location. They will be used in a later step.

All users that access this application need an ArcGIS account with privileges to access the basemap styles service and spatial analysis service.

Set developer credentials

  1. In both the index.html and callback.html files, replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID and YOUR_REDIRECT_URL with the client ID and redirect URL of your OAuth credentials.

          // The redirect URL registered in your OAuth credentials
          const redirectUri = 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URL';
    
  2. Run the app and ensure you can sign in successfully.

Add script references

In addition to Leaflet and Esri Leaflet, reference the Esri Leaflet renderers plugin to render the analysis results on your map. You also reference the Portal helper class from ArcGIS REST JS to obtain the spatial analysis service URL.

  1. Add references to the renderer plugin and ArcGIS REST JS Portal helper class.

Update the map

  1. Update the map's viewpoint to [37.760, -122.445] and a zoom level of 13 to focus in San Fransisco, CA. Then, update the basemap to arcgis/human-geography.

Display parking violations

To perform feature analysis, you need to provide feature data as input. In this tutorial, you use the SF parking violations hosted feature layer as input data for the hot spot analysis.

  1. Add the parking violation feature layer and the corresponding vector tile layer to the points and pointsVTL variables.
