ExpressionInfo

Property Overview

Property Details

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

expression String

An Arcade expression following the specification defined by the Constraint or Form Calculation profiles. Visibility expressions, required expressions, and editable expressions follow the specification defined in the Constraint profile. These expressions may reference field values using the $feature profile variable and must return either true or false.

Value expressions adhere to the specification defined in the Form Calculation profile. The available profile variables when working with value expressions extend beyond just $feature since it is also possible to access values beyond the individual feature that is being displayed.

// Sets the visibility of a field in the form template only if the date is within the last 24 hours.
expressionInfo.expression = "IIF(DateDiff(Now(), $feature.incident_date, 'hours') < 24)";

name String

The name of the expression. Set this name to the visibility expression, required expression, editable expression, and/or value expression properties of its respective elements.

Example

expressionInfo.name = "withinRange";

returnType String

Indicates the return type of the Arcade expression. In FeatureForm expressions, the returnType can be boolean, date, number or string. This is dependant upon the type of expression used. For example, visibility expressions, required expressions, and editable expressions only return a boolean, whereas value expressions return either date, number, or string.

Possible Values:"boolean"|"date"|"number"|"string"
