Represents a sublayer in a MapImageLayer or a TileLayer. MapImageLayer allows you to display, query, and analyze layers from data defined in a map service. Map services contain sublayers with properties such as renderer, labelingInfo, and definitionExpression, and others that are defined on the server. The properties of each MapImageLayer sublayer on the map service may be dynamically changed by the user or developer. The properties of each TileLayer sublayer are read-only, and cannot be modified.
Known Limitations
- All properties of a TileLayer's sublayers are read-only, except the following:
The following limitations apply to sublayers from all map services published with ArcMap, or published to ArcGIS Server 10.5.1 or earlier:
- Arcade expressions are not supported in the renderer and popupTemplate.
- Visual variables are not supported in the renderer.
Dynamic layers
Sublayers may be rendered on the fly as dynamic layers. Dynamic layers are created using the source property of the sublayer. There are two types of dynamic layers: dynamic map layers and dynamic data layers.
Dynamic map layers allow you to override sublayers in the map service with new renderers, definition expressions, opacity, scale visibility, etc. Multiple dynamic map layers may exist for a single map service layer.
Dynamic data layers provide the ability to create sublayers on the fly from data inside registered workspaces. The data may be tables with or without geometries, feature classes, or rasters. These data sources are not directly visible to the services directory, but may be published and configured with the ArcGIS Server Manager. Data from tables may be joined to other tables or dynamic map layers.

-
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.Examplelet layer = new MapImageLayer({ url: "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/USA/MapServer", sublayers: [ { id: 0, minScale: 5000000, maxScale: 24000 }, { id: 1 minScale: 24000, maxScale: 100 } ] });
-
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

oid
field containing a unique value or identifier for each feature in the Sublayer.
-
opacity Number
-
The level of opacity to set on the sublayer on a scale from 0.0 - 1.0 where
0
is fully transparent and1.0
is fully opaque. If the MapImageLayer.opacity is set, the actual opacity value of the sublayer will be the value of MapImageLayer.opacity multiplied by the sublayer's opacity.Example// Set the opacity of the layer to 0.5 layer.findSublayerById(0).opacity = 0.5;
-
popupEnabled BooleanSince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7
-
Indicates whether to display popups when features in the layer are clicked. The layer needs to have a popupTemplate to define what information should be displayed in the popup. Alternatively, a default popup template may be automatically used if Popup.defaultPopupTemplateEnabled is set to
true
.- Default Value:true
-
popupTemplate PopupTemplate
-
The popup template for the sublayer. When set, the
popupTemplate
allows users to access attributes and display their values in the view's popup when the user clicks the image.Sublayers with a RasterDataSource cannot be queried and therefore do not support PopupTemplate.
Alternatively, a default popup template may be automatically used if Popup.defaultPopupTemplateEnabled is set to
true
.Known Limitations
- Arcade expressions are not supported in PopupTemplates set on MapImageLayer sublayers or TileLayer sublayers unless they reference ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6 map services (or later) created from ArcGIS Pro.
Examplelet layer = new MapImageLayer({ url: "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/USA/MapServer", sublayers: [{ id: 0, popupTemplate: { title: "{COUNTY}", content: "{POP2007} people lived in this county in 2007" } }] });
-
The renderer to apply to the sublayer. This value overrides the renderer read from the map service. To see if you can use this property, check the
supportsDynamicLayers
property of MapImageLayer.capabilities.Known Limitations
- 3D symbols are not currently supported in renderers set on sublayers.
- Visual variables and Arcade expressions are not supported in renderers set on MapImageLayer sublayers unless they reference ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6 map services (or later) created from ArcGIS Pro.
Examplelet layer = new MapImageLayer({ url: "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/USA/MapServer", sublayers: [{ id: 0, renderer: { type: "simple", // autocasts as new SimpleRenderer() symbol: { type: "simple-marker", // autocasts as new SimpleMarkerSymbol() color: "black", size: 8 } } }] });
-
-
An object that allows you to create a dynamic layer with data either from the map service sublayers or data from a registered workspace. See DynamicMapLayer for creating dynamic layers from map service layers for on the fly rendering, labeling, and filtering (definition expressions). To create dynamic layers from other sources in registered workspaces such as tables and table joins, see DynamicDataLayer.
Example// Creates two sublayers that point to the same map service layer. // Each layer presents different features in the data using // definition expressions and renderers. let mapImageLayer = new MapImageLayer({ sublayers: [{ id: 10, definitionExpression: "POP < 100000", renderer: { type: "simple", // autocasts as new SimpleRenderer() symbol: smallMarker }, source: { type: "map-layer", mapLayerId: 0 } }, { id: 11, definitionExpression: "POP > 100001", renderer: { type: "simple", // autocasts as new SimpleRenderer() symbol: largeMarker }, source: { type: "map-layer", mapLayerId: 0 } }] });
-
sourceJSON ObjectSince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.15
-
The map service's metadata JSON exposed by the ArcGIS REST API. While most commonly used properties are exposed on the Sublayer class directly, this property gives access to all information returned by the map service. This property is useful if working in an application built using an older version of the API which requires access to map service properties from a more recent version.
-
sublayers Collection<Sublayer>
-
If a sublayer contains sublayers, this property is a Collection of Sublayer objects belonging to the given sublayer with sublayers.
Example// test function for determining if a MapImageLayer's sublayers // contain at least one dynamic data layer function hasDynamicDataLayer (layer){ if (layer.sublayers && layer.sublayers.sublayers){ return layer.sublayers.sublayers.some(function(sublayer){ return sublayer.source.type === "data-layer"; }); } else { console.log("layer does not have sublayers or nested sublayers"); return false; } }
-
title String
-
The title of the sublayer used to identify it in places such as the LayerList and Legend widgets. This value can be defined in the map service or programmatically by the developer. It can also be useful for finding a specific sublayer.
Examplelet radarSublayer = layer.sublayers.find(function(sublayer){ return sublayer.title === "radar"; });
-
typeIdField StringreadonlySince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.15
-
The name of the field holding the type ID or subtypes for the features. See ArcGIS Pro subtypes document. This property is only available after the Sublayer has been loaded.
- See also
-
types FeatureType[]readonlySince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.15
-
An array of subtypes defined in the feature service exposed by ArcGIS REST API. Each item includes information about the type, such as the type ID, name, and definition expression. This property is only available after the Sublayer has been loaded.
- See also
-
url String
-
The URL to the REST endpoint of the sublayer. This allows you to view the schema of fields and query tables located in registered workspaces.
-
visible Boolean
-
Indicates if the layer is visible in the view. To see if you can use this property, check the
supportsSublayerVisibility
property of MapImageLayer.capabilities.Examplelet layer = new MapImageLayer({ url: "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/USA/MapServer", sublayers: [{ // this sublayer is visible by default id: 0 }, { // this sublayer will be added to the layer but not visible id: 1, visible: false }] // all other sublayers in the service are excluded from the layer });

Type Definitions
-
DynamicDataLayer
-
A dynamic data layer is a layer created on-the-fly with data stored in a registered workspace. This is data that can be rendered and queried on the fly, but that isn't explicitly exposed as a service sublayer. Depending on the type of data source, these layers are classified as one of the following:
Data source Description TableDataSource A feature class with geometries or table without geometries. When a table data source does not contain geometries, it may be used as one of the sources in a join operation. Feature class tables may be used on their own since they contain a geometry field. QueryTableDataSource A feature class or table that may be queried on the fly with a SQL where clause. This data source is useful for scenarios where you have a table containing unique geometries and another table with multiple records that match to each geometry. You can use the QueryTableDataSource to select only a subset of those matching records (so records in both tables have a one-to-one relationship with each other) and join them to the table with geometries. RasterDataSource A raster dataset used for visualization purposes only. JoinTableDataSource This data source consists of two data sources joined by a common attribute or key. The left table data source typically contains geometries, while the right source may be a table or query table without geometries. - Properties
-

DynamicMapLayer
-
A dynamic map layer refers to a layer published in a map service that has dynamic layers enabled. This layer type may be used to create multiple sublayers that point to the same service layer, but are assigned different definition expressions, renderers, and other properties.
- Properties
-
type String
This value is always
map-layer
and is inferred when themapLayerId
property is set.The value is always "map-layer".
mapLayerId NumberThe id of the service sublayer.
gdbVersion StringAn optional property for specifying the GDB version.

JoinTableDataSource
-
The result of an on-the-fly join operation at runtime. Nested joins are supported. To use nested joins, set either
leftTableSource
orrightTableSource
tojoin-table
.- Properties
-
type String
This value is always
join-table
and is inferred when other join table properties of this object are set.The value is always "join-table".
leftTableKey StringThe field name used for joining or matching records in the left table to records in the right table.
rightTableKey StringThe field name used for joining or matching records in the right table to records in the left table.
leftTableSource DynamicMapLayer|DynamicDataLayerThe left table for joining to the right table source. This can either be a dynamic map layer or a dynamic data layer. The dynamic data layer may contain another join data source used for nested joining.
rightTableSource DynamicMapLayer|DynamicDataLayerThe right table for joining to the left table source. This can either be a dynamic map layer or a dynamic data layer. The dynamic data layer may contain another join data source used for nested joining.
joinType StringThe type of join that will be performed.
Possible Value Description left-outer-join Unmatched records in the left table source are preserved and joined with null
values in the right table source.left-inner-join Records in the left table source are discarded if they are unmatched with records in the right table source. Possible Values:"left-outer-join"|"left-inner-join"

QueryTableDataSource
-
A query table is a feature class or table defined by a SQL query on the fly. Query layers allow both spatial and nonspatial information stored in a database to be easily integrated into map service operations. Since a query table uses SQL to directly query database tables and views, spatial information used by a query table is not required to be in a geodatabase.
This data source is useful for scenarios where you have a table containing multiple records that match to a single geometry in either another table or a map service layer. You can use the QueryTableDataSource to select only a subset of those matching records and join them to the table with geometries so records in both tables have a one-to-one relationship with each other.
- Properties
-
type String
This value is always
query-table
and is inferred when thequery
property of this object is set.The value is always "query-table".
workspaceId StringThe workspace where the data resides (defined in ArcGIS Server Manager).
query StringThe SQL query used to filter records.
oidFields StringThe field name(s) containing the unique IDs for each record in the table. This can be a comma separated list if the query table is used in a JoinTableDataSource.
spatialReference SpatialReferenceThe spatial reference of the geometry of each feature in the table source.
geometryType StringThe geometry type of each record in the table.
Possible Values:"point"|"multipoint"|"polyline"|"polygon"|"multipatch"
