ArcGIS API for JavaScript (legacy) ^3.46

Arcade support in PopupTemplate

Values returned from Arcade expressions can be referenced within the description property of a PopupTemplate. This is supported as part of the new popup Arcade profile. Similar to the visualization profile, this is useful for situations when you want to display data that isn't present as an attribute value in your FeatureLayer instance.

To view a value returned from an expression in the popup, you must reference it in the expressionInfos property of the PopupTemplate and assign it a name and a title. Then you can place the name of the expression in a placeholder (e.g. {expression/expression-name}) to be replaced by the returned value at runtime when the expression executes.

    layer.setInfoTemplate(new PopupTemplate({
      expressionInfos: [{
        name: "participation-rate",
        title: "% of population 16+ participating in the labor force",
        expression: "Round(($feature.CIVLBFR_CY / $feature.POP_16UP)*100,2)"
      }],
      description: "In {NAME} county, {expression/participation-rate}% of the population"
        + " participates in the labor force."
    }));
    

In the snippet above, values from the CIVLBFR_CY and POP_16UP fields are used to calculate the labor force participation rate for each county. The PopupTemplate defined above would yield the following result when the feature representing Greenlee, AZ is clicked.

VectorTileLayer Printing

This release of the JavaScript API includes a support for vector tile layer printing through client-side image. Please see to PrintTask document.

• New property expressionInfos on class PopupTemplate.
• New property allowUpdateWithoutMValues on class FeatureLayer.
• New properties isMapNavigation, isPinchZoom, isScrollWheel on class Map.
• New event .on("style-update") on class SymbolStyler.
• New events .on("update-end"), .on("update-start") on class VectorTileLayer.
• New method getThumbnailUrl() on class PortalUser.
• New method getThumbnailUrl() on class PortalItem.
• New method getThumbnailUrl() on class PortalGroup.
• New method getSourceLayer() on class Graphic.
• New methods disablePinchZoom(), disableScrollWheel(), enablePinchZoom(), enableScrollWheel() on class Map.
• Added new allowUpdateWithoutMvalues constructor option and property to the FeatureLayer class.
• Added new timeInfo constructor option to the CSVLayer class to support time-awareness on CSV layers.
• On the Search widget, in the sources object used in the sources property, a new filter property replaces the now deprecated searchQueryParams and suggestQueryParams.
