Update a feature’s location in an online feature service.

Use case
Sometimes users may want to edit features in an online feature service by moving them.
How to use the sample
Click a feature to select it. Click again to set the updated location for that feature. An alert will be shown confirming success or failure.
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. - Select and load a feature from the
FeatureLayer. - Change the selected feature’s location using
Feature.setGeometry(geometry). - Apply edits to the
ServiceGeodatabaseby callingapplyEditsAsync, which will update the feature’s geometry on the online service.
Relevant API
- Feature
- FeatureLayer
- ServiceFeatureTable
- ServiceGeodatabase
