Property Overview

Property Details

allLayers Collection<Layer>readonly inherited

A flattened collection of all layers in the map. This collection contains basemap layers, operational layers and ground layers. Group Layers and their children layers are also part of this collection. Reference layers in the basemap will always be included at the end of the collection.

Layers should not be added directly to this collection. They must only be added via the layers, basemap or ground properties.

To access a flattened collection of tables, use the allTables property instead.

Example

// Find a layer with title "US Counties"
const foundLayer = map.allLayers.find(function(layer) {
 return layer.title === "US Counties";
});

// Create a filtered collection of the non-group layers
const nonGroupLayers = map.allLayers.filter(function(layer) {
 return !foundLayer.layers;
});

// Listen for any layer being added or removed in the Map
map.allLayers.on("change", function(event) {
 console.log("Layer added: ", event.added);
 console.log("Layer removed: ", event.removed);
 console.log("Layer moved: ", event.moved);
});

allTables Collection<Layer>readonly inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.17

A flattened collection of tables anywhere in the map's hierarchy. This will contain individual tables within the map's tables, in addition to any group layer tables. In order for the table(s) to be recognized as such, the FeatureLayer property must return true.

Currently, only feature layer tables are recognized.

To access spatial layers, use the allLayers property instead.

Example

// A feature layer where isTable = true.
const foundTable = map.allTables.find(function(table) {
  // Find a table with title "US Counties"
  return table.title === "US Counties";
});

geotriggersInfo GeotriggersInfoautocast

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24

Information relating to a list of Geotriggers.

ground Groundautocast inherited

Autocasts from String|Object

Specifies the surface properties for the map. In MapView, this property is used by the ElevationProfile widget when the profile contains an ElevationProfileLineGround. In 3D SceneView, it renders the terrain or topographical variations in the real world on the map's surface with a collection of ElevationLayers.

This value can be an instance of Ground, or one of the following strings:

• world-elevation for a default instance of ground using the Terrain3D Service.
• world-topobathymetry for an instance of ground that combines surface elevation and bathymetry using the TopoBathy3D Service.

The ground may not be set to null or undefined, it is guaranteed to always contain an instance of type Ground. The elevation can be removed from the ground by setting the ground property to a new empty Ground instance or by removing all the ground layers.

See also

• ElevationLayer
• Ground

Examples

// Use the world elevation service
const map = new Map({
  basemap: "topo-vector",
  ground: "world-elevation"
});

// Create a map with the world elevation layer overlaid by a custom elevation layer
const worldElevation = ElevationLayer({
  url: "//elevation3d.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/WorldElevation3D/Terrain3D/ImageServer"
});
const customElevation = ElevationLayer({
  url: "https://my.server.com/arcgis/rest/service/MyElevationService/ImageServer"
});
const map = new Map({
  basemap: "topo-vector",
  ground: new Ground({
   layers: [ worldElevation, customElevation ]
  })
});

initialViewProperties InitialViewPropertiesautocast

The initial view of the WebMap. This object contains properties such as viewpoint, spatialReference, that should be applied to the view when the WebMap loads.

layers Collection<Layer>autocast inherited

Autocasts from Layer[]

A collection of operational layers. This property contains the operational layers, such as FeatureLayers, WebTileLayers and GraphicsLayers that may be queried, assigned different renderers, analyzed, etc. It does not include basemaps.

A layer is a collection of one or more features, or graphics, that represent real-world phenomena. Each feature contains a symbol and geographic data that allows it to be rendered on the map as a graphic with spatial context. Features within the layer may also contain data attributes that provide additional information that may be viewed in popup windows and used for rendering the layer.

Layers may be added in the constructor, with the add() or addMany() methods, or directly to the layers collection using add() or addMany().

In 3D, for layers that are rendered on the terrain, the order of the layers also depends on the type of layer. Tiled layers (VectorTileLayer, WebTileLayer, WMTSLayer) are always drawn first in the same order as specified in the layer collection. Dynamic layers (MapImageLayer, ImageryLayer, WMSLayer, and feature based layers with elevation mode on-the-ground) are rendered on top using the order from the layer collection.

A layer may only be added to one parent. Adding the same layer to multiple Maps or GroupLayers is not possible. If you attempt to do so, the layer will automatically be removed from its current parent and placed in the new parent.

let layer = new GraphicsLayer();
// The layer belongs to map1
map1.layers.add(layer);
// The layer now belongs to map2
// and implicitly does: map1.layers.remove(layer)
map2.layers.add(layer);

To access tables from feature layers, use the tables property in either Map or WebMap classes.

Example

// Add layers in the constructor of Map using an array
let fl = new FeatureLayer(url);
let gl = new GraphicsLayer();
let map = new Map({
  layers: [fl, gl]
});

// Add layers using add()
map.addMany([fl, gl]);

// Add layers using layers collection
map.layers.addMany([fl, gl]);

// Add layers using layers collection's push method
map.layers.push(fl, gl);

tables Collection<Layer>autocast inherited

Autocasts from Layer[]

A collection of layer instances that are tables saved in a Map and/or a WebMap. In order for the table(s) to be recognized as such, the FeatureLayer's isTable property must return true. A table can be created via one of the options below:

• Referencing the URL to a table in a feature service.
• Create a feature layer using the Layer.fromArcGISServerUrl method and confirm that it is a table using feature layer's isTable property. This can be either a feature service or feature collection.
• Create a feature layer using the Layer.fromPortalItem method and confirm that it is a table using feature layer's isTable property. This can be either a feature service or feature collection.
• Create an in-memory, non-spatial, client-side feature layer.

Beginning with 4.17, it is possible to persist non-spatial, tables in a feature service to a WebMap, although in-memory (feature collection) tables are not yet supported.

Persisting tables within a GroupLayer is not yet supported. If this is needed, add them to the Map and/or WebMap.

• Currently, only feature service feature layers are recognized.
• To access spatial layers, use the layers property in either Map or WebMap classes

fromJSON(json){*}static

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.12

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. If the WebMap is used outside of a view, you must call load() explicitly to interact with its resources. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter

json Object A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the web map specification for more detailed information on serializing web map to JSON.

Returns

Type	Description

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved.

load(){Promise}

Triggers the loading of the WebMap instance.

A WebMap is considered loaded when its operational layers and basemap are fully created. When created with a portalItem, load() will first fetch its data to create the content, otherwise it resolves immediately.

The MapView automatically calls the load() method when a WebMap instance is added to its map property so it can display in the view and load each individual layer. If the WebMap is used outside of a view, for example to preload it, you must call load() explicitly to interact with its resources.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise	Resolves when the WebMap is loaded.

Changes the layer order. The first layer added is always the base layer, even if its order is changed. The change event will be emitted when this method is called.

In 3D, for layers that are rendered on the terrain, the order of the layers also depends on the type of layer. Tiled layers (VectorTileLayer, WebTileLayer, WMTSLayer) are always drawn first in the same order as specified in the layer collection. Dynamic layers (MapImageLayer, ImageryLayer, WMSLayer, and feature based layers with elevation mode on-the-ground) are rendered on top using the order from the layer collection.

Parameters

layer Layer The layer to be moved.

Returns

Type	Description
Layer	Returns the layer that was moved.

save(options){Promise<PortalItem>}

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14

Saves the webmap to its associated portal item. The portal item must already exist and be valid. This is a convenience method that will use update to store the webmap in the item. The webmap is saved according to web map specification standards.

Use updateFrom to store the current view properties in the webmap before saving it.

Note that this saves the webmap to its existing item. Depending on how the webmap is shared, users that do not own the webmap may be able to modify it. To save an existing webmap as a new item owned by the user signed into the portal instance, use saveAs().

The webmap will be automatically loaded if it is not already before saving.

Known Limitations

• For StreamLayer the following rules will apply:
  • Any new layers of these types added to the webmap will not be saved.
  • For existing layers only modifications to the following properties will saved: blendMode, legendEnabled, maxScale, minScale, opacity, title, visibility.
• Feature collections and multi-layer feature collections cannot currently be saved.

Parameters

options Object optional Additional options. Specification ignoreUnsupported Boolean optional When true, the webmap will save even if it contains unsupported content (layers, renderers, symbols). Any content that is not supported will not be saved and the webmap may appear different when reloaded from its portal item.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise<PortalItem>	A promise that resolves with the PortalItem instance when the item has successfully been saved, or rejected otherwise.

saveAs(portalItem, options){Promise<PortalItem>}

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14

Saves the webmap to a new portal item. If saving has completed successfully, then the saved portal item will be set in the portalItem property of the WebMap. This is a convenience method that will create a new PortalItem and use PortalUser.addItem() to store the webmap in a Portal.

Use updateFrom to store the current view properties in the webmap before saving it.

Note that this always saves the webmap as a new portal item owned by the user signed into the portal instance that executes the saveAs() method. If you want to modify an existing item without changing its ownership, use save().

The webmap will be automatically loaded if it is not already before saving.

Known Limitations

• For StreamLayer the following rules will apply:
  • Any new layers of these types added to the webmap will not be saved.
  • For existing layers only modifications to the following properties will saved: blendMode, legendEnabled, maxScale, minScale, opacity, title, visibility.
• Feature collections and multi-layer feature collections cannot currently be saved.

Parameters

Specification

portalItem PortalItem autocast Autocasts from Object The new portal item to which the webmap will be saved. Portal item properties such as the title or description need to be explicitly set on the item and will not be automatically copied from the current associated webmap portal item (if any).

options Object optional Additional save options. Specification folder PortalFolder optional The folder in which to save the item. ignoreUnsupported Boolean optional Allow the webmap to be saved even in the case it contains unsupported content (layers, renderers, symbols). Any content that is not supported will not be saved and the webmap may appear different when reloaded from its portal item.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise<PortalItem>	A promise that resolves with the PortalItem instance when the item has successfully been saved, or rejected otherwise.

• updateFrom

Example

const webmap = new WebMap();
// Use updateFrom to store the current view properties
// in the webmap before saving it
webmap.updateFrom(view);
webmap.saveAs({
  // autocasts as new PortalItem()
  title: "New WebMap"
});

updateFrom(view, options){Promise}

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14

Update properties of the WebMap related to the view. This should usually be called just before saving a webmap. The following properties are updated from the view:

1. InitialViewProperties.spatialReference

Depending on the provided options, the following properties are also updated:

2. The rotation, scale, and targetGeometry properties of InitialViewProperties.viewpoint
3. The thumbnail of the PortalItem

Parameters

Specification

view MapView The view to update from.

options Object optional Update options. Specification backgroundExcluded Boolean optional When true, the view's background will not be updated for the webmap. The default is false meaning the background will be updated for the webmap if there is a background. viewpointExcluded Boolean optional When true, the initial viewpoint of the view will not be updated for the webmap. Defaults to false, meaning the viewpoint will be updated for the webmap. Must set scalePreserved to true if the view's scale should be updated for the webmap. scalePreserved Boolean optional When true, the view's scale will be updated for the webmap. Defaults to false meaning view's scale will not be updated for the webmap. It is ignored when viewpointExcluded is true. thumbnailExcluded Boolean optional When true, the thumbnail will not be updated for the webmap. Defaults to false meaning the thumbnail will be updated for the webmap. thumbnailSize Object optional The size of the thumbnail. Defaults to 600x400 (ratio 1.5:1). Note that the thumbnail size may currently not be larger than the size of the view. Specification width Number The width of the thumbnail. height Number The height of the thumbnail. widgetsExcluded Boolean optional When true, the webmap's widgets property will not be updated. When false, the definition of the first TimeSlider assigned to the View will be used to update the WebMap.widgets property. The default value is false.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise	Resolves when the update has completed.

when(callback, errback){Promise}

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.6

when() may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: a callback function and an errback function. The callback executes when the instance of the class loads. The errback executes if the instance of the class fails to load.

Parameters

callback Function optional The function to call when the promise resolves.

errback Function optional The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise	Returns a new promise for the result of callback that may be used to chain additional functions.

Example

// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way
let view = new MapView();
view.when(function(){
  // This function will execute once the promise is resolved
}, function(error){
  // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error
});

Type Definitions

FloorFilter Object

Floor filtering is controlled by a configurable floor filter. Those configurations are saved to the web map as a Floor Filter widget.

Properties

enabled Boolean Indicates whether the FloorFilter is active and filtering the displayed content according to the FloorFilter selection.

longNames Boolean Indicates whether the levels list is showing the long names from longNameField.

minimized Boolean Indicates whether the floor filter has been minimized to show only the levels list.

pinnedLevels Boolean Indicates whether the levels portion of the floor filter has been pinned to show the levels list.

site String Contains the site ID for the initially selected site in the floor filter.

facility String Contains the facility ID for the initially selected facility in the floor filter.

level String Contains the level ID for the initially selected floor, which is used when filtering layers by their configured floor-aware properties.

TimeSlider Object

Time animation is controlled by a configurable time slider. Those configurations are saved to the web map as a timeSlider widget.

Properties

currentTimeExtent TimeExtent The current time extent of the time slider. See the timeExtent property of the time slider widget for more information.

fullTimeExtent TimeExtent The temporal extent for the entire slider. See the fullTimeExtent property of the time slider widget for more information.

loop Boolean When true, the time slider will play its animation in a loop.

numStops Number The number of stops. It divides the time slider's fullTimeExtent into equal parts. See the time slider widget's stops and StopsByCount properties.

numThumbs Number The thumb count. See the time slider widget's mode and timeExtent properties. This value defaults to 1.

stops Date[] An array of dates for the time slider widget. Can be used to create irregularly spaced stops. See the time slider widget's stops and StopsByDates properties.

stopDelay Number The time rate in milliseconds between animation steps. See the time slider widget's playRate property. This value defaults to 1000.

stopInterval TimeInterval Defines regularly spaced stops on the time slider from a TimeInterval object. See the time slider widget's stops and StopsByInterval properties.

Widgets Object

The widgets object contains widgets that are exposed to the user.

Properties

timeSlider TimeSlider Time animation is controlled by a configurable time slider. Those configurations are saved to the web map as a TimeSlider widget.

floorFilter FloorFilter Floor filtering is controlled by a configurable floor filter. Those configurations are saved to the web map as a FloorFilter widget.
