Find group ID

Description

This sample uses the ArcGIS Portal API to find groups associated with an input search term. The sample is a duplicate of the Find group ID sample but was updated to use Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) to load and access modules. Read the following Dojo documentation for details on the upgrade process:

Dojo 1.x to 2.0 migration guide

Modern Dojo

When signed in all groups (public and private) that the logged in user has access to will be displayed. The results of the group query are displayed in dojo's dgrid - a new grid component that is lightweight and modular. In this sample a new dgrid is created and the input columns and row renderer are specified.

The row renderer can be used to easily present data in different views. In our example we format the input data to display a thumbnail image and the group data in a format that doesn't look like a typical grid. A typical use of the row renderer might be to display data in different views using the same grid. Take a look at the dgrid multiviewer demo to see a working example.
