WMSSublayer

Property Overview

Property Details

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

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

description String

Description for the WMS sublayer. This defaults to the value of the Abstract property from the WMS GetCapabilities request.

dimensions Array<(TimeDimension|ElevationDimension|GenericDimension)>readonly

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20

An array of time, elevation and other dimensions for the sublayer. Information from a TimeDimension can be used to update View.timeExtent, WMSLayer.timeExtent, or to configure a TimeSlider widget.

A WMSLayer or WMSSublayer can only have one time dimension. The following example shows how to find the time dimension (if any) for the base layer.

const layer = new WMSLayer({
  url: "https://public-wms.met.no/verportal/verportal.map?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.3.0"
});
await layer.load();
const precipitation = layer.allSublayers.find((sl) => sl.name === "precipitation_3h_global");
layer.sublayers = [precipitation];
const timeDimension = precipitation.dimensions.find((dimension) => dimension.name === "time");

Data can exist at specific times or time ranges. We can access this information from the extent property of the TimeDimension as either an array of discrete dates or TimeDimensionIntervals. For example, continuing from the previous example, a TimeSlider is configured using the extent from a TimeDimension.

const dates = timeDimension.extent; // This time dimension is expressed as an array of dates.
const start = dates[0]; // Get the first and earliest date
const end = dates[dates.length -1]; // Get last date
const timeSlider = new TimeSlider({
  container: "timeSliderDiv",
  view: view,
  mode: "instant",
  timeVisible: true,
  loop: true,
  fullTimeExtent: { // The TimeSlider UI will span all dates
    start,
    end
  },
  stops: {
    dates // The TimeSlider thumb will snap exactly to each valid date
  }
})

fullExtent Extent

The full extent of the layer.

id Number

The id for the WMS sublayer.

layer WMSLayer

The WMSLayer to which the sublayer belongs.

legendEnabled Boolean

Indicates whether the layer will be included in the legend. When false, the layer will be excluded from the legend.

Default Value:true

legendUrl String

A string url pointing to a legend image for the layer.

maxScale Number

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14

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 zero means the layer does not have a maximum scale.

Default Value:0

minScale Number

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14

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 zero means the layer does not have a minimum scale.

Default Value:0

name String

Name of the WMS sublayer. This defaults to the value of the Name property from the WMS GetCapabilities request.

parent WMSSublayer|WMSLayer

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.17

Returns a reference to the parent WMS sublayer or layer.

Example

// Display the title and description for the WMS sublayer named "RADAR_1KM_RDBR".
const wmsLayer = new WMSLayer({
  url: "https://geo.weather.gc.ca/geomet"
});
wmsLayer.load().then(() => {
  const subLayer = layer.findSublayerByName("RADAR_1KM_RDBR");
  let parent = wmsSubLayer.parent;
  while(parent) {
    parent.visible = true;
    parent = parent.parent;
  }
});

popupEnabled Boolean

Indicates whether to display popups when features in the layer are clicked.

Default Value:false

queryable Boolean

Indicates if the layer can be queried, i.e. the service supports GetFeatureInfo with either text/html or text/plain formats.

Default Value:false

spatialReferences Number[]

List of spatialReferences (WKID) derived from the CRS elements of the first layer in the GetCapabilities request.

sublayers Collection<WMSSublayer>

A collection of WMSSublayers.

title String

The title of the WMS sublayer used to identify it in places such as the LayerList and Legend widgets. This defaults to the value of the Title property from the WMS GetCapabilities request.

visible Boolean

Indicates if the layer is visible in the view.

Method Overview

Method Details

addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 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(){WMSSublayer}

Creates a deep clone of the WMS sublayer.

Returns

Type	Description
WMSSublayer	A deep clone of the WMS sublayer instance that invoked this method.

hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 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(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");
