Upgrade

Migrating from a previous version

To upgrade apps created in a previous version, copy the app folder from previous version to new version. The app folder is located at <install folder>/server/public/apps/<appId>. If the app has its own widgets, please continue below:

Before you copy your widgets, we recommend reading the breaking changes section in the what’s new document. TypeScript is generally good at flagging if it cannot find a module or if a property is missing in a type. Here are some of the most common scenarios we have found when upgrading our sample widgets to the latest version of ArcGIS Experience Builder:

• The syntax for importing MyModule = require('my-module'); is no longer supported. You can use let/const MyModule = require('my-module'); or import * as MyModule from 'my-module';.
• JimuMapViewComponent prop useMapWidgetsIds needs to be changed to useMapWidgetsId.
• This is not a breaking change, but more of a pattern you will see in our sample widgets. You can basically use the React.PureComponent class to extend your widget instead of using BaseWidget and also replace BaseWidgetSetting in settings.tsx.
