SubtypeSublayer

AMD: require(["esri/layers/support/SubtypeSublayer"], (SubtypeSublayer) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import SubtypeSublayer from "@arcgis/core/layers/support/SubtypeSublayer.js";
Class: esri/layers/support/SubtypeSublayer
Inheritance: SubtypeSublayerAccessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20

Represents a sublayer in a SubtypeGroupLayer. Each SubtypeSublayer is not a standalone service, but rather each sublayer corresponds to one subtype in the source feature service. This pattern allows each sublayer to be symbolized independently of one another, without requiring an individual service per sublayer. This relationship differs from the relationship between the MapImageLayer and its sublayers. In the case with the MapImageLayer, its sublayers represent individual map services.

The SubtypeSublayers are identified by their unique subtypeCode. You can configure the properties of each sublayer while initializing the SubtypeGroupLayer

Example
// Only includes one SubtypeSublayer from the SubtypeGroupLayer
let layer = new SuptypeGroupLayer({
  url: "https://sampleserver7.arcgisonline.com/server/rest/services/UtilityNetwork/NapervilleElectric/FeatureServer/0",
  sublayers: [{  // autocasts as a Collection of SubtypeSublayers
    subtypeCode: 14,
    visible: true,
    renderer: {
      type: "simple",  // autocasts as a SimpleRenderer()
      symbol: {

Property Details

attributeTableTemplate

Property
attributeTableTemplate AttributeTableTemplateautocast
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31 SubtypeSublayer since 4.20, attributeTableTemplate added at 4.31.

This property is used to configure the associated layer's FeatureTable. It is meant to configure how the columns display within the table in regard to visibility, column order, and sorting.

This property differs from the table's esri/widgets/FeatureTable/support/TableTemplate FeatureTable's tableTemplate property. The TableTemplate provides more fine-grained control over how the table is rendered within the application by offering more advanced configurations such as custom cell rendering, column formatting, and more. TableTemplate is useful for application-level development that remains within an application. Use the attributeTableTemplate property to access the table's settings across different applications. By using this property, the settings can be saved within a webmap or layer. Please refer to the AttributeTableTemplate and TableTemplate documentation for more information.

   name: "title",
   alias: "Title",
   type: "string"
 })
];

// See the sample snippet for the source property
const layer = new SubtypeSublayer({
  // Object ID field is inferred from the fields array
  fields: fields
});

fieldsIndex

Property
fieldsIndex FieldsIndex |null |undefinedreadonly

  label: "First name",
  description: "First name of emergency contact"
});

const fieldElement2 = new FieldElement({
  fieldName: "lastname",
  label: "Last name",
  description: "Last name of emergency contact"
});

// Create the form's template
const formTemplate = new FormTemplate({
  title: "Emergency information",
  description: "In case of emergency, update any additional information needed",
  elements: [fieldElement1, fieldElement2] // pass in array of field elements from above
});

// Pass the template to the layer
subtypeSublayer.formTemplate = formTemplate;

// Pass the layer to the FeatureForm
const form = new FeatureForm({
  container: "form", // html div referencing the form
  layer: subtypeSublayer
});

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

applyEdits

Method
applyEdits(edits, options){Promise<EditsResult>}

Applies edits to features in a layer. New features can be created and existing features can be updated or deleted. Feature geometries and/or attributes may be modified. Attachments can also be added, updated or deleted.

When calling the applyEdits method on a service that does not have vertical coordinate system information, the z-values of the geometries in the edits object will automatically be converted to match the spatial reference of the layer. Example: The service has a horizontal spatial reference with feet units, and applyEdits() is called with z-values based on meter units, then the method will automatically convert the z values from meter to feet units.

Parameters
Specification
edits Object

Object containing features and attachments to be added, updated or deleted.

Specification
optional

An array or a collection of features to be added. Values of non nullable fields must be provided when adding new features. Date fields must have numeric values representing universal time.

updateFeatures Graphic[]|Collection<Graphic>
optional

An array or a collection of features to be updated. Each feature must have valid objectId. Values of non nullable fields must be provided when updating features. Date fields must have numeric values representing universal time.

optional

An array or a collection of features, or an array of objects with objectId or globalId of each feature to be deleted. When an array or collection of features is passed, each feature must have a valid objectId. When an array of objects is used, each object must have a valid value set for objectId or globalId property.

addAttachments AttachmentEdit[]
optional

An array of attachments to be added. Applies only when the options.globalIdUsed parameter is set to true. User must provide globalIds for all attachments to be added.

updateAttachments AttachmentEdit[]
optional

An array of attachments to be updated. Applies only when the options.globalIdUsed parameter is set to true. User must provide globalIds for all attachments to be updated.

deleteAttachments String[]
optional

An array of globalIds for attachments to be deleted. Applies only when the options.globalIdUsed parameter is set to true.

options Object
optional

Additional edit options to specify when editing features or attachments.

Specification
gdbVersion String
optional

The geodatabase version to apply the edits. This parameter applies only if the capabilities.data.isVersioned property of the layer is true. If the gdbVersion parameter is not specified, edits are made to the published map’s version.

returnEditMoment Boolean
optional

Indicates whether the edit results should return the time edits were applied. If true, the feature service will return the time edits were applied in the edit result's editMoment property. Only applicable with ArcGIS Server services only. This option was added at the version 4.20.

returnServiceEditsOption String
optional

If set to original-and-current-features, the EditedFeatureResult parameter will be included in the applyEdits response. It contains all edited features participating in composite relationships in a database as result of editing a feature. Note that even for deletions, the geometry and attributes of the deleted feature are returned. The original-and-current-features option is only valid when rollbackOnFailureEnabled is true. The default value is none, which will not include the EditedFeatureResult parameter in the response. This is only applicable with ArcGIS Server services only. This option was added at the version 4.20.

Possible Values:"none"|"original-and-current-features"

rollbackOnFailureEnabled Boolean
optional

Indicates whether the edits should be applied only if all submitted edits succeed. If false, the server will apply the edits that succeed even if some of the submitted edits fail. If true, the server will apply the edits only if all edits succeed. The layer's capabilities.editing.supportsRollbackOnFailure property must be true if using this parameter. If supportsRollbackOnFailure is false for a layer, then rollbackOnFailureEnabled will always be true, regardless of how the parameter is set.

globalIdUsed Boolean
optional

Indicates whether the edits can be applied using globalIds of features or attachments. This parameter applies only if the layer's capabilities.editing.supportsGlobalId property is true. When false, globalIds submitted with the features are ignored and the service assigns new globalIds to the new features. When true, the globalIds must be submitted with the new features. When updating existing features, if the globalIdUsed is false, the objectIds of the features to be updated must be provided. If the globalIdUsed is true, globalIds of features to be updated must be provided. When deleting existing features, set this property to false as deletes operation only accepts objectIds at the current version of the API.

When adding, updating or deleting attachments, globalIdUsed parameter must be set to true and the attachment globalId must be set. For new attachments, the user must provide globalIds. In order for an attachment to be updated or deleted, clients must include its globalId. Attachments are not supported in an edit payload when globalIdUsed is false.

// add an image attachments to features
function addAttachment(selectedFeature) {
  const blob = new Blob(byteArrays, { type: "image/png" });
  addAttachments.push({
    feature: selectedFeature,
    attachment: {
      globalId: "8c4d6085-a33c-42a0-8e11-21e9528bca0d",
      name: "brokenLight",
      data: blob
    }
  });

  const edits = {
    addAttachments: addAttachments
  };

  const options = {
    // globalIdUsed has to be true when adding, updating or deleting attachments
    globalIdUsed: true,
    rollbackOnFailureEnabled: true
  };

  subtypeSublayer.applyEdits(edits, options).then(function(results) {
    console.log("edits added: ", results);
  });
}
Returns
Type Description
Promise<EditsResult> When resolved, an EditsResult object is returned.
Example
function addFeature(geometry) {
  const attributes = {};
  attributes["Description"] = "This is the description";
  attributes["Address"] = "380 New York St";

  // Date.now() returns number of milliseconds elapsed
  // since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC.
  attributes["Report_Date"] = Date.now();

  const addFeature =  new Graphic({
    geometry: geometry,
    attributes: attributes
  });

  const deleteFeatures = [
    { objectId: 467 },
    { objectId: 500 }
  ];

  // or specify globalIds of features to be deleted
  // const deleteFeature = [

load

Method
load(signal){Promise}

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. See also AbortController for more information on how to construct a controller that can be used to deliver abort signals.

Returns
Type Description
Promise Resolves when the resources have loaded.

queryAttachments

Method
queryAttachments(attachmentQuery, options){Promise<Object>}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.26 SubtypeSublayer since 4.20, queryAttachments added at 4.26.

Known Limitations

When the layer's capabilities.operations.supportsQueryAttachments property is false, AttachmentQuery.objectIds property only accepts a single objectId.

Parameters
attachmentQuery AttachmentQuery autocast
Autocasts from Object

Specifies the attachment parameters for query.

options Object
optional

An object with the following properties.

Specification
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. See also AbortController for more information on how to construct a controller that can be used to deliver abort signals.

Returns
Type Description
Promise<Object> When resolved, returns an object containing AttachmentInfos grouped by the source feature objectIds.
Example
subtypeGroupLayer.when(function () {
  // queryObjectIds for all features within the layer
  subtypeGroupLayer.queryObjectIds().then(function (objectIds) {
    // Define parameters for querying attachments,
    // query features where objectIds are less than 735,
    // and only query jpeg attachments for these features.
    let attachmentQuery = {
      objectIds: objectIds,
      definitionExpression: "OBJECTID < 735",
      attachmentTypes: ["image/jpeg"]
    };

    // Only pass in one objectId for attachmentQuery.objectIds
    // if the layer's capabilities.operations.supportsQueryAttachments is false
    subtypeGroupLayer.queryAttachments(attachmentQuery).then(function (attachments) {
      // Print out all returned attachment infos to the console.
      attachmentQuery.objectIds.forEach(function (objectId) {
        if (attachments[objectId]) {
          let attachment = attachments[objectId];
          console.group("attachment for", objectId);
          attachment.forEach(function (item) {
            console.log("attachment id", item.id);

            console.log("size", item.size);
            console.log("url", item.url);
            console.groupEnd();
          });
        }
      });
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
      console.log("attachment query error", error);
    })
  });
});
