Reference Arcade expressions in PopupTemplate

Description

This sample demonstrates how to display values returned from an Arcade expression in a PopupTemplate defined on a FeatureLayer. Arcade is useful for creating visualizations in a FeatureLayer based on a value calculated from an expression executed on the client. PopupTemplates can reference the same expressions used in renderers to effectively communicate the data-driven visualization.

In this sample, a layer representing U.S. counties is added to the map. Each feature contains attributes related to labor statistics in the county. The fields include the unemployment rate, population, and total employment. Arcade is used to calculate the labor force participation of each county.

Four arcade expressions are used in the app. Each Arcade expression must be referenced in the expressionInfos property of the PopupTemplate. The expressionInfos is an array of objects that assigns a name and a title to each expression.

The name property is used to reference the expression value in the popupTemplate's content. The name must be prefaced by expression/.

See the Popup profile of the Arcade expressions guide for more information.
