AggregateField

AMD: require(["esri/layers/support/AggregateField"], (AggregateField) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import AggregateField from "@arcgis/core/layers/support/AggregateField.js";
Class: esri/layers/support/AggregateField
Inheritance: AggregateField Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24

Defines the aggregate fields used in a layer visualized with FeatureReductionBinning or FeatureReductionCluster. An aggregate field aggregates data from a layer's field using a statistic type such as the average or sum.

Example
featureReduction.fields = [{
  name: "SUM_population",
  alias: "Total population",
  onStatisticField: "population",
  statisticType: "sum"
}, {
  name: "AVG_age",
  alias: "Average age",
  onStatisticField: "age",
  statisticType: "avg"
}];

Indicates whether the field was created internally by the JS API's rendering engine for default FeatureReductionCluster visualizations.

AggregateField

The name of the aggregate field.

AggregateField

An object containing an Arcade expression, which evaluates for each child feature represented by the aggregate graphic.

AggregateField

The name of the layer field to summarize with the given statisticType.

AggregateField

AggregateField

Property Details

alias

Property
alias String

The display name that describes the aggregate field in the Legend, Popup, and other UI elements.

Default Value:null
Example
aggregateField.alias = "Total population";

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor

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

isAutoGenerated

Property
isAutoGenerated Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 AggregateField since 4.24, isAutoGenerated added at 4.25.

Indicates whether the field was created internally by the JS API's rendering engine for default FeatureReductionCluster visualizations. You should avoid setting or changing this value. If true, then all other properties of the AggregateField are read-only.

Default Value:false

name

Property
name String

The name of the aggregate field. This should describe the layer's field and aggregation method used. For example, if creating a field that contains the total population for a set of features with a population field, then you could name this field total_population or population_sum.

This field name must start with a letter, and may only contain alphanumeric characters and underscore.

Example
// names the aggregate field that will display the sum of the population
// for all points representing cities in the bin
aggregateField.name = "SUM_population";

onStatisticExpression

Property
onStatisticExpression ExpressionInfo
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 AggregateField since 4.24, onStatisticExpression added at 4.25.

An object containing an Arcade expression, which evaluates for each child feature represented by the aggregate graphic. All results of the expression will be aggregated using the given statisticType. This expression must follow the specification defined by the Arcade Visualization Profile. Expressions must return a string or a number and may access data values from the layer's feature with the $feature profile variable.

Example
// will create an aggregate field for the Population field of the layer.
aggregateField.onStatisticExpression = new ExpressionInfo({
  title: "Population per square kilometer",
  returnType: "number",
  expression: "$feature.population / AreaGeodetic($feature, 'square-kilometers')"
});

onStatisticField

Property
onStatisticField String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 AggregateField since 4.24, onStatisticField added at 4.25.

The name of the layer field to summarize with the given statisticType.

Example
// will create an aggregate field for the Population field of the layer.
aggregateField.onStatisticField = "Population";

statisticType

Property
statisticType String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 AggregateField since 4.24, statisticType added at 4.25.

Defines the type of statistic used to aggregate data returned from onStatisticField or onStatisticExpression.

Possible Values

Value Description
avg The average of values in the aggregate. Only available for fields and expressions that return numbers.
count The total number of features in the aggregate. A field does not need to be specified in this case.
max The maximum of all values in the aggregate. Only available for fields and expressions that return numbers.
min The minimum of all values in the aggregate. Only available for fields and expressions that return numbers.
mode The most common or predominant value in the aggregate. Available for fields and expressions that return numbers or strings.
sum The sum of all values in the aggregate. Only available for fields and expressions that return numbers.

Possible Values:"avg" |"count" |"max" |"min" |"mode" |"sum" |"avg_angle"

Example
// will calculate the sum of the field specified in onStatisticField for all features in the bin.
outStatistic.statisticType = "sum";

Method Details

addHandles

Inherited
Method
addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 4.25.

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,
  () => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;
  },
  { once: true }
);

this.addHandles(handle);

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

groupKey *
optional

Key identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.

clone

Method
clone(){AggregateField}

Creates a deep clone of the AggregateField object.

Returns
Type Description
AggregateField A deep clone of the object that invoked this method.
Example
// Creates a deep clone of the AggregateField object
const sumPopulationField = layer.featureReduction.fields.find( field => field.name === "SUM_population" ).clone();

fromJSON

Method
fromJSON(json){*}static

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. 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 ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns
Type Description
* Returns a new instance of this class.

hasHandles

Inherited
Method
hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25.

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
Example
// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
  obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}

removeHandles

Inherited
Method
removeHandles(groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 4.25.
