Class: esri/layers/support/ExpressionInfo
Inheritance: ExpressionInfo Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

The ExpressionInfo class references an Arcade expression following the specification defined by the Arcade Visualization Profile. Expressions must return a string or a number and may access data values from the feature with the $feature profile variable.

This expression is used for defining an AggregateField for use in a FeatureReductionBinning or a FeatureReductionCluster renderer, popup, or label. It is executed once defined inside a layer's featureReduction property.
