import WebMap from "@arcgis/core/WebMap.js";
esri/WebMap
Loads a WebMap from ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise portal into a MapView. It defines the content, style, and bookmarks of your webmap, and it can be shared across multiple ArcGIS web and desktop applications. The webmap is saved as a JSON document that can be consumed by the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript via the WebMap class to easily create compelling 2D applications. The JSON document is written according to the webmap specification. Although you can easily create your own webmaps, there are many sample webmaps in ArcGIS Online that you can use to get started with the API. You may modify or add new content to these webmaps.
To load a WebMap from ArcGIS Online into a MapView, you must reference the ID of the webmap in the portalItem property of this class.
const webmap = new WebMap({
portalItem: { // autocasts as new PortalItem()
id: "e691172598f04ea8881cd2a4adaa45ba"
}
});
To load a Webmap from an on-premise portal, set the portal url in esriConfig.portalUrl.
esriConfig.portalUrl = "https://myHostName.esri.com/arcgis";
const webmap = new WebMap({
portalItem: { // autocasts as new PortalItem()
id: "f701172599f04ea8781de2a4adzz46ab"
}
});
Then you must reference the WebMap instance in the map
property of the view.
const view = new MapView({
map: webmap, // The WebMap instance created above
container: "viewDiv"
});
Known Limitations
-
WCSLayers are currently not supported. WFSLayers must be from a WFS 2.0.0 service and have GeoJSON output format enabled.
-
In instances when the webmap contains layer types that are not yet supported in the API, layers will be created as an UnsupportedLayer. This layer type is used specifically in these instances where the layer may exist in a given WebMap (e.g. WFS layer from WFS 1.0.0), but may not be currently supported in the version of the API accessing it.
-
An UnknownLayer will be used if future versions of the WebMap contains a new type of layer. The API version may not recognize this layer type, therefore it would come across as an UnknownLayer.
-
Embedded Routes
- Prior to the ArcGIS Online 8.1 release (March 2020) when copying a route layer from an item to be stored inside a WebMap it would be stored as an embedded feature collection, and inadvertently not attributed as a route. When these webmaps are loaded by the JS API, the routes will be represented by a GroupLayer rather than a RouteLayer. This does not affect copied route layer items after the ArcGIS Online 8.1 release or routes stored as portal items. Copying route layer items to be stored as part of the webmap is not a common scenario.

Property Details
-
allLayers
InheritedPropertyallLayers Collection<Layer>readonly
Inherited from Map -
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); }); // Watching for changes to the visible layers in the Map reactiveUtils.watch( () => view.map.allLayers.filter((layer) => layer.visible), (newVisibleLayers, oldVisibleLayers) => { const added = newVisibleLayers.filter( (layer) => !oldVisibleLayers.includes(layer) ); const removed = oldVisibleLayers.filter( (layer) => !newVisibleLayers.includes(layer) ); added.forEach((layer) => console.log(layer.title, "is visible")); removed.forEach((layer) => console.log(layer.title, "is not visible")); } );

Specifies a basemap for the map. The basemap is a set of layers that give geographic context to the MapView or SceneView and the other operational layers in the map.
The basemap can be created in a variety of ways:
- From the basemap styles service (v2)
- From an instance of the Basemap class
- From a basemap id
Use of these basemaps requires either an ArcGIS Location Platform account, ArcGIS Online organizational subscription, or an ArcGIS Enterprise license.
To authenticate basemap requests, you may need an access token. You can use an API key or OAuth 2.0. When using an API key, the key must have privileges to access the appropriate location service.

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
orundefined
, 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

-
layers
InheritedPropertylayers Collection<Layer>autocast
Inherited from Map -
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 (BaseTileLayer, ImageryTileLayer, OpenStreetMapLayer, TileLayer, VectorTileLayer, WCSLayer, WebTileLayer and 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
InheritedPropertytables Collection<Layer>autocast
Inherited from Map -
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

will be returned.ReturnsType Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved.
-
Inherited from WebDocument2D
-
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 callload()
explicitly to interact with its resources.ReturnsType Description Promise Resolves when the WebMap is loaded. - See also
Examplerequire([ "esri/WebMap" ], function( WebMap ) { const map = new WebMap({ portalItem: { id: "e691172598f04ea8881cd2a4adaa45ba" } }); map.load() .then(function() { // load the basemap to get its layers created return map.basemap.load(); }) .then(function() { // grab all the layers and load them const allLayers = map.allLayers; const promises = allLayers.map(function(layer) { return layer.load(); }); return Promise.all(promises.toArray()); }) .then(function(layers) { // each layer load promise resolves with the layer console.log("all " + layers.length + " layers loaded"); }) .catch(function(error) { console.error(error); }); });

Inherited from WebDocument2DSince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.9WebDocument2D since 4.31, loadAll added at 4.9. -
Loads all the externally loadable resources associated with the webmap. For the webmap this will load the ground, basemap and layers.
ReturnsType Description Promise<WebMap> Resolves when all the loadable resources have been loaded. Rejects if at least one of the loadable resources failed to load. - See also
Example// Load all resources but ignore if one or more of them failed to load webmap.loadAll() .catch(function(error) { // Ignore any failed resources }) .then(function() { console.log("All loaded"); });

remove
InheritedMethodremove(layer){Layer}
Inherited from Map -
Removes the specified layer from the layers collection. The before-changes, before-remove, after-remove, after-changes and change events will be emitted when this method is called.
Parameterlayer LayerLayer to remove from the layers collection.
ReturnsType Description Layer Returns the layer removed from the layers collection.
-
Inherited from Map
-
Removes all layers. The before-changes, before-remove, after-remove, after-changes and change events will be emitted when this method is called.

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 4.25. -
Removes a group of handles owned by the object.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.
Exampleobj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group obj.removeHandles("handle-group"); obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
-
Inherited from Map
-
Removes the specified layers. The before-changes, before-remove, after-remove, after-changes and change events will be emitted when this method is called.
Returns
-
reorder
InheritedMethodreorder(layer, index){Layer}
Inherited from Map -
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 (BaseTileLayer, ImageryTileLayer, OpenStreetMapLayer, TileLayer, VectorTileLayer, WCSLayer, WebTileLayer and 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.ParametersReturnsType Description Layer Returns the layer that was moved.

save
save(options){Promise<PortalItem>}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14WebMap since 4.0, save added at 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.
Wait until each save() operation has resolved before starting a new save() operation to avoid a potential
abort-error
.Known Limitations
- Feature collections and multi-layer feature collections cannot currently be saved.
Parametersoptions ObjectoptionalAdditional options.
SpecificationignoreUnsupported BooleanoptionalWhen
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.ReturnsType Description Promise<PortalItem> A promise that resolves with the PortalItem instance when the item has successfully been saved, or rejected otherwise. - See also
Examplewebmap.updateFrom(view) .then(function() { return webmap.save(); }) .then(function(portalItem) { console.log("Saved to portal", portalItem.id); }) .catch(function(error) { console.error("Error saving to portal", error); });
-
saveAs
saveAs(portalItem, options){Promise<PortalItem>}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14WebMap since 4.0, saveAs added at 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.
Wait until each saveAs() operation has resolved before starting a new saveAs() operation to avoid a potential
abort-error
.Known Limitations
- Feature collections and multi-layer feature collections cannot currently be saved.
ParametersSpecificationAutocasts from ObjectThe 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 ObjectoptionalAdditional save options.
Specificationfolder PortalFolderoptionalThe folder in which to save the item.
ignoreUnsupported BooleanoptionalAllow 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.
ReturnsType Description Promise<PortalItem> A promise that resolves with the PortalItem instance when the item has successfully been saved, or rejected otherwise. - See also
Exampleconst 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" });

Inherited from WebDocument2D
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14WebDocument2D since 4.31, updateFrom added at 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:
Depending on the provided options, the following properties are also updated:
- The rotation, scale, and targetGeometry properties of InitialViewProperties.viewpoint
- The
thumbnail
of the PortalItem
ParametersSpecificationview MapViewThe view to update from.
options ObjectoptionalUpdate options.
SpecificationbackgroundExcluded BooleanoptionalWhen
true
, the view's background will not be updated for the webmap. The default isfalse
meaning the background will be updated for the webmap if there is a background.viewpointExcluded BooleanoptionalWhen

when()
may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: acallback
function and anerrback
function. Thecallback
executes when the instance of the class loads. Theerrback
executes if the instance of the class fails to load.ParametersReturnsType 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 });
