Constructor Details

new GeometryLocationProvider(options)

Creates a new instance of the GeometryLocationProvider object.
Parameters:
<Object> options Required Define the properties to use when creating the class. See options descriptions for further information.
options properties:
<String> geometryField Required The attribute field in the graphic object that contains the JSON string representing the geometry.
<String> geometryType Required The geometry type of the returned features. Use one of the following geometry types: "esriGeometryPoint" | "esriGeometryPolyline" | "esriGeometryPolygon".
Sample:
require([
  "esri/tasks/locationproviders/GeometryLocationProvider",...
], function(GeometryLocationProvider,...) {
   var locationProvider: new GeometryLocationProvider({
      geometryField: "GeomJson",
      geometryType: "esriGeometryPoint"
   });
   ...
   locationProvider.locate(graphicsArray).then(function(results) {
     ...
   });
});
Property Details

<String> geometryField

The attribute field in the graphic object that contains the JSON string representing the geometry.

<String> geometryType

The geometry type of the returned features.
Known values: "esriGeometryPoint" | "esriGeometryPolygon" | "esriGeometryPolyline"

<SpatialReference> inSpatialReference

The Spatial Reference of the input geometries. Default is assumed to be WGS84 (WKID: 4326).
Default value: SpatialReference({wkid:4326})

<Boolean> loaded

Returns true when the load event has been fired.
Known values: true | false
Method Details

locate(features, options?)

Assigns geometries to the array of Graphic objects.
Return type: Deferred
Parameters:
<Graphic[]> features Required An array of Graphic objects.
<Object> options Optional Optional parameters. See the Object Specifications table below for the structure of the options object.
Object Specifications:
<options>
<SpatialReference> outSpatialReference Required Spatial reference of the output geometry. Defaults to 4326 when not provided.
<Boolean> useExistingGeometries Required A property to notify whether geometry should be located for Graphic object that already has a geometry. The default value is false.
