esri/PopupTemplate
A PopupTemplate formats and defines the content of a Popup for a specific Layer or Graphic. The user can also use the PopupTemplate to access values from feature attributes and values returned from Arcade expressions when a feature in the view is selected.
The PopupTemplate contains title and content properties
that act as a template used to transform a feature's
attributes into an HTML representation.
The syntax {fieldName}
or {expression/expressionName}
performs parameter
substitution. The default behavior on a Graphic is to show the
view's Popup after a
click on the Graphic. A PopupTemplate is required for this
default behavior.
PopupTemplate also allows you to format the Number
and Date
field values and
override field aliases with
the fieldInfos property. Actions may also be added
to the template to give users
the ability to perform actions related to the feature, such as zooming to it or performing a Query based on
the feature's location or attributes.
In the image above, the initial text Marriage in NY, Zip Code: 11358 is set in the title
property of the PopupTemplate where ZIP
is the name of the field containing zip codes.
popupTemplate.title = "Marriage in NY, Zip Code: {ZIP}",
The rest of the content is defined in the content property where
NEVMARR_CY
, MARRIED_CY
, and DIVORCD_CY
are all field names that contain
values to be used in the popup.
popupTemplate.content = "<p>As of 2015, <b>{MARRIEDRATE}%</b> of the" +
" population in this zip code is married.</p>" +
"<ul><li>{MARRIED_CY} people are married</li>" +
"<li>{NEVMARR_CY} have never married</li>" +
"<li>{DIVORCD_CY} are divorced</li><ul>";
The above example demonstrates how to format the content directly with a custom
text string. This is one way to format the template, it is also possible to
add additional elements in the content such as fields
, media
, and attachments
.
These elements can be added individually or combined. More information on working
with these various elements can be found in content.
PopupTemplates may also contain custom actions. When clicked, these actions execute custom code defined by the developer. See the actions property for more details.

Property Details
-
actions
actions Collection<(ActionButton|ActionToggle)>autocast
-
A Collection of action or action toggle objects. Each object represents an action or function that may be executed by clicking the icon or image symbolizing them in the Popup. By default, every Popup has a
zoom-to
action styled with a magnifying glass icon . When this icon is clicked, the view zooms in four LODs and centers on the selected feature.PopupTemplates do not have default actions. To override actions on the Popup using PopupTemplate see overwriteActions. Actions defined in a PopupTemplate will only appear in the Popup for features or layers that apply that particular PopupTemplate.
The order of each action in the popup is the same order in which they appear in the actions Collection.
The Popup event in Popup fires each time an action in the popup is clicked. This event should be used to execute custom code for each action clicked. For example, if you would like to add a
zoom-out
action to the PopupTemplate that zooms the view out several LODs, you would define the zoom-out code in a separate function. Then you would call the customzoom-out
function in the trigger-action event handler. See the sample code snippet below for more details on how this works.Actions are defined with the properties listed in the ActionButton or ActionToggle class.
Example// Defines an action to zoom out from the selected feature let zoomOutAction = { // This text is displayed as a tooltip title: "Zoom out", // The ID by which to reference the action in the event handler id: "zoom-out", // Sets the icon font used to style the action button className: "esri-icon-zoom-out-magnifying-glass" }; // Adds the custom action to the PopupTemplate. popupTemplate.actions.push(zoomOutAction); // Apply this PopupTemplate to a layer (or graphic) layer.popupTemplate = popupTemplate; // This action will only appear in the popup for features in that layer // The function to execute when the zoom-out action is clicked function zoomOut() { // In this case the view zooms out two LODs on each click view.goTo({ center: view.center, zoom: view.zoom - 2 }); } // This event fires for each click on any action // Notice this event is handled on the default popup of the View // NOT on an instance of PopupTemplate view.popup.on("trigger-action", function(event){ // If the zoom-out action is clicked, fire the zoomOut() function if(event.action.id === "zoom-out"){ zoomOut(); } });
-
The template for defining and formatting a popup's content.
- String - A popup's content can be a simple text or string value referencing field values or Arcade expressions. Expressions must be defined in the expressionInfos property.
- Popup elements - You can also display content as popup elements. There are various types of
elements which can be used individually or combined. The order in which they are set determines
how they display within the popup. See the items below describing each element.
- text - A text content element that provides descriptive text as content.
- media - A media content element that is used to display media such as charts/images.
- fields - A fields content element.
that contains the fields to display within the content. If this is not set
directly within the
content
property, the popup will display whatever is set in the PopupTemplate.fieldInfos property. - attachments - An attachments content element that contains attachments associated with the feature.
- expression - An expression content element that contains an Arcade expression evaluating to a dictionary representing a TextContent, FieldsContent, or a MediaContent popup element as defined in the Popup Element web map specification.
- relationship - A relationship content element associated with a feature.
- custom - A custom content element that contains custom content.
- promise - The PopupTemplate's content may also be defined with a promise that resolves to any of the above-mentioned elements. This is useful for cases when you call a method or execute a query and want to display the results in the popup. Simply pass the promise to the popupTemplate's content and ensure that it resolves to a string or other popup element.
- function - Content may be defined with a JavaScript function that returns any of the above-mentioned
elements. This is useful when your popup requires additional processing or functionality than what is
provided with the content types listed above. For example, assume that you would like to
display charts using third-party JavaScript libraries or categorize information into separate tabs.
In these cases, you can use a function that returns either a string, a reference to an
HTML element, a popup element, or a promise.
When the feature is clicked, the feature is passed as an argument to the function and provides
access to the feature’s graphic and attributes. Set the outFields property to
specify any fields needed for rendering the popup and set the returnGeometry property
to
true
if needing access to the associated feature's geometry. The function then executes and returns a value to display in the popup template.
Note: Autocasting does not apply when creating content via a function or promise.
Examples// Set a simple string to a popupTemplate's content // The string references a value from the POP_2015 attribute field layer.popupTemplate = { content: "{POP_2015} people live in this census tract" };
// Set a simple string to a popupTemplate's content // referencing the value returned from an Arcade expression layer.popupTemplate = { content: "{expression/per-total}% of people in this boundary have a college education.", expressionInfos: [{ name: "per-total", expression: "Round((($feature.bachelor + $feature.master + $feature.doctorate) / $feature.TOT_POP) * 100, 2)" }] };
// Display a table in the popup's content referencing two values // one from a field, and another returned from an Arcade expression layer.popupTemplate = { title: "College Education in {NAME}", content: [ { type: "fields", // Autocasts as new FieldsContent() // Autocasts as new FieldInfo[] fieldInfos: [ { fieldName: "TOT_POP", label: "Total population (2023)", format: { digitSeparator: true } }, { fieldName: "expression/college" }] }], // autocasts to ExpressionInfo class expressionInfos: [{ name: "college", title: "Completed a college degree", expression: "$feature.bachelor + $feature.master + $feature.doctorate" }] };
// The following snippet shows how to set various popup element types within the template's // content. This snippet also works with related tables. layer.popupTemplate.content = [{ type: "fields", // Autocast as new FieldsContent() // Autocast as new FieldInfo[] fieldInfos: [{ fieldName: "Point_Count", visible: false, label: "Count of Points", // Autocast as new FieldInfoFormat() format: { places: 0, digitSeparator: true } }, { fieldName: "relationships/0/Point_Count_COMMON", visible: true, label: "Sum of species tree count", format: { places: 0, digitSeparator: true }, statisticType: "sum" }] }, { // Autocasts as new TextContent() type: "text", text: "There are {Point_Count} trees within census block {BLOCKCE10}" }, { // Autocasts as new MediaContent() type: "media", mediaInfos: [{ title: "<b>Count by type</b>", type: "pie-chart", // Autocasts as new PieChartMediaInfo() caption: "", // Autocasts as new ChartMediaInfoValue() value: { fields: [ "relationships/0/Point_Count_COMMON" ], normalizeField: null, tooltipField: "relationships/0/COMMON" } }, { title: "<b>Mexican Fan Palm</b>", type: "image", // Autocasts as new ImageMediaInfo() caption: "tree species", // Autocasts as new ImageMediaInfoValue() value: { sourceURL: "https://www.sunset.com/wp-content/uploads/96006df453533f4c982212b8cc7882f5-800x0-c-default.jpg" } }] }, { // if attachments are associated with feature, display it. // Autocasts as new AttachmentsContent() type: "attachments" }];
// The following snippet shows how to use a function // to create a simple node and display it in the popup template content let template = new PopupTemplate({ title: "Population by Gender", content: setContentInfo }); function setContentInfo(feature){ // create a chart for example let node = domConstruct.create("div", { innerHTML: "Text Element inside an HTML div element." }); return node; }
// The following snippet shows how to set a popupTemplate // on the returned results (features) from identify idResult.feature.popupTemplate = { title: "{NAME}", content: [{ // Pass in the fields to display type: "fields", fieldInfos: [{ fieldName: "NAME", label: "Name" }, { fieldName: "REGION", label: "Region" }] }] };

expressionInfos
expressionInfos ExpressionInfo[]autocast
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.4PopupTemplate since 4.0, expressionInfos added at 4.4. -
An array of objects or ExpressionInfo[] that reference Arcade expressions following the specification defined by the Arcade Popup Profile.
Examples// Displays two values returned from Arcade expressions // in a table within the popup when a feature is clicked layer.popupTemplate = { content: [{ type: "fields", // Autocasts as new FieldsContent() // Autocasts as new FieldInfo[] fieldInfos: [{ fieldName: "expression/college" }, { fieldName: "expression/nocollege" }] }], // autocasts to ExpressionInfo class expressionInfos: [{ name: "college", title: "Completed a college degree", expression: "$feature.bachelor + $feature.master + $feature.doctorate" }, { name: "nocollege", title: "Did not complete a college degree", expression: "$feature.elementary + $feature.middle + $feature.highschool + $feature.somecollege" }] };
// Displays a value returned from an Arcade expression within // a simple string defined in the popupTemplate's content layer.popupTemplate = { content: "{expression/per-total}% of people in this boundary have a college education.", expressionInfos: [{ name: "per-total", expression: "Round((($feature.bachelor + $feature.master + $feature.doctorate) / $feature.TOT_POP) * 100, 2)" }] };
-
An array of FieldInfo that defines how fields in the dataset or values from Arcade expressions participate in a popup. If no FieldInfo are specified, nothing will display since the popup will only display the fields that are defined by this array. Each FieldInfo contains properties for a single field or expression. This property can be set directly within the PopupTemplate or within the fields content element. If this is not set within the fields content element, it will default to whatever is specified directly within the
PopupTemplate.fieldInfos
.Use this
fieldInfos
property to specify any formatting options for numbers and if displaying fields from related tables in chart or text elements.The image on the left is a result of using the first example snippet below, whereas the image on the right is a result of the second snippet.
Content set using 'fields' type Content referenced from fields set within fieldInfo Examples// This snippet demonstrates how to show only a subset of fields. // By setting the 'type: "fields"', and providing the fieldInfos, // only field data will display within this feature layer's popuptemplate. // If no fieldInfos is specified directly in the content, the popup defaults // to whatever is set in the popupTemplate.fieldInfos. let popupTemplate = new PopupTemplate({ // autocasts as new PopupTemplate() title: "{NAME} in {COUNTY}", outFields: ["*"], content: [{ // It is also possible to set the fieldInfos outside of the content // directly in the popupTemplate. If no fieldInfos is specifically set // in the content, it defaults to whatever may be set within the popupTemplate. type: "fields", fieldInfos: [{ fieldName: "B12001_calc_pctMarriedE", label: "Married %" },{ fieldName: "B12001_calc_numMarriedE", label: "People Married", format: { digitSeparator: true, places: 0 } }] }] });
// This snippet demonstrates setting the popup's content by referencing // specific fields defined within the popupTemplate's fieldInfos. let popupTemplate = new PopupTemplate({ title: "{NAME} in {COUNTY}", outFields: ["*"], content: "Census data indicates that {B12001_calc_numMarriedE} people were married in {NAME}, {COUNTY}. The overall percentage of married people is {B12001_calc_pctMarriedE}%.", fieldInfos: [{ fieldName: "B12001_calc_pctMarriedE", },{ fieldName: 'B12001_calc_numMarriedE', format: { places: 0, digitSeparator: true } }] });
-
lastEditInfoEnabled
lastEditInfoEnabled Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.10PopupTemplate since 4.0, lastEditInfoEnabled added at 4.10. -
Indicates whether or not editor tracking should display.
- Default Value:true
-
layerOptions
layerOptions LayerOptionsautocast
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.5PopupTemplate since 4.0, layerOptions added at 4.5. -
Additional options that can be defined for the popup layer.
-
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.9PopupTemplate since 4.0, outFields added at 4.9. -
An array of field names used in the PopupTemplate. Use this property to indicate what fields are required to fully render the PopupTemplate. This is important if setting content via a function since any fields needed for successful rendering should be specified here.
Generally speaking, it is good practice to always set this property when instantiating a new popup template.
To fetch the values from all fields, use
["*"]
.This will not fetch fields from related tables. If related features are needed, set this using FieldInfo.
- Default Value:null

Example// Set the MapImageLayer with specified popupTemplate USALayer = new MapImageLayer({ url: "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/USA/MapServer", id: "USA", sublayers: [{ id: 2, visible: true, popupTemplate: { title: "{state_name} Population", content: getInfo, outFields: ["*"] } }] }) // The function used for the PopupTemplate function getInfo(feature) { let graphic, attributes, content; graphic = feature.graphic; attributes = graphic.attributes; content = "In year 2000:- " + attributes.pop2000 ; return content; }
-
overwriteActions
overwriteActions Boolean
-
Indicates whether actions should replace existing popup actions.
- Default Value:false
Example// The actions defined in the Popup will not display when the // PopupTemplate is used. The actions defined in the PopupTemplate will be used instead. popupTemplate.overwriteActions = true;
-
returnGeometry
returnGeometry Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.18PopupTemplate since 4.0, returnGeometry added at 4.18. -
Indicates whether to include the feature's geometry for use by the template. This property should be set to
true
if needing to access the popup's selected feature's geometry. Access the geometry via the returned graphic from the popup's selectedFeatureWidget. This is needed since the geometry is not automatically queried and returned in the popup's selected feature.If the feature layer does not specify its outFields and the template's
outFields
isn't set, the returned popup's geometry is only returned ifreturnGeometry
is set totrue
. This also applies when working with WebMaps.- Default Value:false
Example// Grab the layer and check if 'returnGeometry' is false, // if so, set to 'true' to access selected feature's geometry view.when(function() { webmap.when(function(response) { returnedLayer = response.layers.find(function(layer) { return layer.id === "<layer id>"; }); if (returnedLayer.popupTemplate.returnGeometry === false) { returnedLayer.popupTemplate.returnGeometry = true; reactiveUtils.watch(() => popup?.viewModel?.active, function() { console.log(view.popup.selectedFeatureWidget.graphic); }); } }); });
-
The template for defining how to format the title used in a popup. You can format the title by specifying either a string value or a JavaScript function that returns a simple string or a promise (since 4.15) that resolves to a string.
If using a function, the defined content returns a string value. When the feature is clicked, the feature is passed as an argument to the function and provides access to the feature's graphic and attributes. The function then executes and returns a value to display in the popup template's title.
Examples// Within the popup template, placeholders are denoted by `{}`. // It specifies attributes to display. // In a service where a field named NAME contains the name of a county, the title // of the popup when the user clicks a feature representing Los Angeles County will say: // "Population in Los Angeles County" popupTemplate.title = "Population in {NAME} County";
// In this example, the popup template's title is set via a function. The function name is // passed in for its property. Notice that the clicked feature is then passed in to the function. let popupTemplate = { // autocasts as new PopupTemplate() title: countyName, outFields: ["*"] // Make sure to specify the outFields so that these are available in the function }; function countyName(feature) { // Return the layer title and individual county name return feature.graphic.layer.title + " : {NAME}"; }
// Executes a reverse geocode in the popupTemplate title // and returns the result as a promise. This will display the // address for the location of the point in the title const locatorUrl = "https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer"; const params = {location: event.mapPoint}; layer.popupTemplate = { outFields: ["*"], title: function(event) { return locator .locationToAddress(locatorUrl, params) .then(function(response) { // This value must be a string return response.address; }); } };
