   url: "https://tiles.arcgis.com/tiles/z2tnIkrLQ2BRzr6P/arcgis/rest/services/EMU_Caribbean_Voxel/SceneServer"
});

Property Overview

Property Details

apiKey String

An authorization string used to access a resource or service. API keys are generated and managed in the ArcGIS Developer dashboard. An API key is tied explicitly to an ArcGIS account; it is also used to monitor service usage. Setting a fine-grained API key on a specific class overrides the global API key.

Example

// set the api key to access a protected service
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
  url: serviceUrl,
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
});

copyright String

The copyright text as defined by the scene service.

currentVariableId Number

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24

The variable that is being displayed. The currentVariableId must be the id of a VoxelVariable that is in the variables collection of the VoxelLayer.

Default Value:0

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

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

enableDynamicSections Boolean

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

Controls whether or not to globally disable all dynamic sections in the current VoxelVolumeStyle.

enableIsosurfaces Boolean

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

Controls whether or not to globally disable all isosurfaces in the current VoxelVariableStyle.

enableSlices Boolean

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

Controls whether or not to globally disable all slices in the current VoxelVolumeStyle.

fullExtent Extentautocast inherited

The full extent of the layer. By default, this is worldwide. This property may be used to set the extent of the view to match a layer's extent so that its features appear to fill the view. See the sample snippet below.

Example

// Once the layer loads, set the view's extent to the layer's fullextent
layer.when(function(){
  view.extent = layer.fullExtent;
});

id String inherited

The unique ID assigned to the layer. If not set by the developer, it is automatically generated when the layer is loaded.

layerId Number

The layer ID, or layer index, of a Scene Service layer. This is particularly useful when loading a single layer with the portalItem property from a service containing multiple layers. You can specify this value in one of two scenarios:

• When loading the layer via the portalItem property.
• When pointing the layer url directly to the Scene Service.

If a layerId is not specified in either of the above scenarios, then the first layer in the service (layerId = 0) is selected.

Examples

// while these examples use a SceneLayer, the same pattern can be
// used for other layers that may be loaded from portalItem ids

// loads the third layer in the given Portal Item
let layer = new SceneLayer({
  portalItem: {
    id: "73df987984b24094b848d580eb83b0fb"
  },
  layerId: 2
});

// If not specified, the first layer (layerId: 0) will be returned
let layer = new SceneLayer({
  portalItem: {
    id: "73df987984b24094b848d580eb83b0fb"
  }
});

// Can also be used if URL points to service and not layer
let layer = new SceneLayer({
  url: "https://scenesampleserverdev.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/Hosted/DevA_Trees/SceneServer",
  layerId: 0  // Notice that the url doesn't end with /2
});

// This code returns the same layer as the previous snippet
let layer = new SceneLayer({
  url: "https://scenesampleserverdev.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/Hosted/DevA_Trees/SceneServer/layers/0",
  // The layer id is specified in the URL
});

legendEnabled Boolean

Indicates whether the layer will be included in the legend.

Default Value:true

listMode String inherited

Indicates how the layer should display in the LayerList widget. The possible values are listed below.

Value	Description
show	The layer is visible in the table of contents.
hide	The layer is hidden in the table of contents.
hide-children	If the layer is a GroupLayer, BuildingSceneLayer, KMLLayer, MapImageLayer, TileLayer or WMSLayer, hide the children layers from the table of contents.

Possible Values:"show"|"hide"|"hide-children"

Default Value:"show"

loaded Booleanreadonly inherited

Indicates whether the layer's resources have loaded. When true, all the properties of the object can be accessed.

Default Value:false

loadError Errorreadonly inherited

The Error object returned if an error occurred while loading.

Default Value:null

loadStatus Stringreadonly inherited

Represents the status of a load operation.

Value	Description
not-loaded	The object's resources have not loaded.
loading	The object's resources are currently loading.
loaded	The object's resources have loaded without errors.
failed	The object's resources failed to load. See loadError for more details.

Possible Values:"not-loaded"|"loading"|"failed"|"loaded"

Default Value:not-loaded

loadWarnings Object[]readonly inherited

A list of warnings which occurred while loading.

maxScale Number

The maximum scale (most zoomed in) at which the layer is visible in the view. If the map is zoomed in beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of 0 means the layer does not have a maximum scale. The maxScale value should always be smaller than the minScale value, and greater than or equal to the service specification.

Default Value:0

Examples

// The layer will not be visible when the view is zoomed in beyond a scale of 1:1,000
layer.maxScale = 1000;

// The layer's visibility is not restricted to a maximum scale.
layer.maxScale = 0;

minScale Number

The minimum scale (most zoomed out) at which the layer is visible in the view. If the map is zoomed out beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of 0 means the layer does not have a minimum scale. The minScale value should always be larger than the maxScale value, and lesser than or equal to the service specification.

Default Value:0

Examples

// The layer will not be visible when the view is zoomed out beyond a scale of 1:3,000,000
layer.minScale = 3000000;

// The layer's visibility is not restricted to a minimum scale.
layer.minScale = 0;

popupEnabled Boolean

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.26

Indicates whether to display popups when voxels in the layer are clicked. Popups are not configurable but a default popup template will automatically be used if Popup.defaultPopupTemplateEnabled is set to true.

Default Value:true

portalItem PortalItem

The portal item from which the layer is loaded. If the portal item references a Feature Service or Scene Service, then you can specify a single layer to load with the layerId property.

Beginning with version 4.17, it is possible to load tables from feature service items hosted in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. This only applies to feature layers, and will successfully load if FeatureLayer.isTable returns true.

Examples

// While this example uses FeatureLayer, this same pattern can be
// used for other layers that may be loaded from portalItem ids.
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
  portalItem: {  // autocasts as new PortalItem()
    id: "caa9bd9da1f4487cb4989824053bb847"
  }  // the first layer in the service is returned
});

// Set hostname when using an on-premise portal (default is ArcGIS Online)
// esriConfig.portalUrl = "http://myHostName.esri.com/arcgis";

// While this example uses FeatureLayer, this same pattern can be
// used for SceneLayers.
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
  portalItem: {  // autocasts as new PortalItem()
    id: "8d26f04f31f642b6828b7023b84c2188"
  },
  // loads the third item in the given feature service
  layerId: 2
});

// Initialize GeoJSONLayer by referencing a portalItem id pointing to geojson file.
const layer = new GeoJSONLayer({
  portalItem: new PortalItem({
    id: "81e769cd7031482797e1b0768f23c7e1",
    // optionally define the portal, of the item.
    // if not specified, the default portal defined is used.
    // see https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-config.html#portalUrl
    portal: new Portal({
      url: "https://jsapi.maps.arcgis.com/"
    })
  }
});

// This snippet loads a table hosted in ArcGIS Online.
const table = new FeatureLayer({
  portalItem: { // autocasts as esri/portal/PortalItem
    id: "123f4410054b43d7a0bacc1533ceb8dc"
  }
});

// Before adding the table to the map, it must first be loaded and confirm it is the right type.
table.load().then(function() {
  if (table.isTable) {
    map.tables.add(table);
  }
});

renderMode String

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24

Current rendering mode for the VoxelLayer. The volume mode draws the full voxel layer volume whereas the surfaces mode draws dynamic sections and isosurfaces only.

Possible Values:"volume"|"surfaces"

Default Value:"volume"

spatialReference SpatialReferenceautocast

The spatial reference of the layer.

title String inherited

The title of the layer used to identify it in places such as the LayerList widget.

If the layer is loaded from a portal item, the title of the portal item will be used. If a layer is loaded as part of a webmap or a webscene, then the title of the layer as stored in the webmap/webscene will be used.

type Stringreadonly

For VoxelLayer the type is always "voxel".

url String

The URL of the REST endpoint of the layer or scene service. The URL may either point to a resource on ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online.

The layer may be specified using the layerId property when the url points directly to a service and not a specific layer. If layerId is not specified, then it will default to the first layer in the service.

Examples

// Layer from Scene Service on ArcGIS Server
let sceneLayer = new SceneLayer({
  url: "https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/arcgis/rest/services/Paris_3D_Local_WSL2/SceneServer/layers/0"
});

// Can also be used if URL points to service and not layer
let layer = new SceneLayer({
  // Notice that the url doesn't end with /0
  url: "https://scenesampleserverdev.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/Hosted/DevA_Trees/SceneServer",
  layerId: 0
});

Indicates if the layer is visible in the View. When false, the layer may still be added to a Map instance that is referenced in a view, but its features will not be visible in the view.

Default Value:true

Example

// The layer is no longer visible in the view
layer.visible = false;

load(signal){Promise}inherited

Loads the resources referenced by this class. This method automatically executes for a View and all of the resources it references in Map if the view is constructed with a map instance.

This method must be called by the developer when accessing a resource that will not be loaded in a View.

The load() method only triggers the loading of the resource the first time it is called. The subsequent calls return the same promise.

It's possible to provide a signal to stop being interested into a Loadable instance load status. When the signal is aborted, the instance does not stop its loading process, only cancelLoad can abort it.

Parameter

signal AbortSignal optional Signal object that can be used to abort the asynchronous task. The returned promise will be rejected with an Error named AbortError when an abort is signaled.

Example

view.on("click", function(event){
  // event is the event handle returned after the event fires.
  console.log(event.mapPoint);
});

removeHandles(groupKey)inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Parameter

groupKey * optional A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.

Example

obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");

when(callback, errback){Promise}inherited

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
});
