Delete features from an online feature service.

Use case
Sometimes users may want to delete features from an online feature service.
How to use the sample
Click on a feature on the Map, then click the ‘delete’ button to delete.
How it works
- Create and load a
ServiceGeodatabasewith a feature service URL. - Get the
ServiceFeatureTablefrom the service geodatabase. - Create a
FeatureLayerfrom the service feature table. - Identify the selected feature by using
identifyLayerAsync. - Remove the selected features from the
ServiceFeatureTableusingdeleteFeaturesAsync. - Update the data on the server using
applyEditsAsyncon theServiceGeodatabase, which will remove the feature from the online service.
Relevant API
- Feature
- FeatureLayer
- ServiceFeatureTable
- ServiceGeodatabase
