Create a feature collection layer from a portal item.

Use case
Feature collection layers are often used to hold features with mixed geometry or unstructured data. You can display feature collections stored in a Portal, which are often used for showing content from a CSV or map notes.
How to use the sample
The feature collection is loaded from the Portal item when the sample starts. Enter the ID of a Portal item that holds a feature collection into the text field, and click on the button to see result.
How it works
- Create a
Portal. - Create the
PortalItem, referring to the portal and an item ID. - Verify that the item represents a feature collection.
- Create a
FeatureCollectionfrom the item. - Create a
FeatureCollectionLayer, referring to the feature collection. - Add the feature collection layer to the map’s operational layers collection.
