ElementExpressionInfo | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31

Defines an Arcade expression used to create an ExpressionContent element in a PopupTemplate. The expression must evaluate to a dictionary, representing a TextContent, FieldsContent, or MediaContent popup element as defined in the Popup Element web map specification.

This expression may access data values from the feature, its layer, or other layers in the map or datastore with the $feature, $layer, $map, and $datastore profile variables. See the Popup Element Arcade Profile specification for more information and examples of valid return dictionaries.

Example

// Creates an ordered list in a cluster's popup
// listing the type of fuel used to generate power in the cluster
// ordered by the total number of power plants for each fuel type.
layer.featureReduction = {

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(){ElementExpressionInfo}

Creates a deep clone of the ElementExpressionInfo instance.

Returns

Type	Description
ElementExpressionInfo	A deep clone of the ElementExpressionInfo instance.

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

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter

  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.

groupKey *

optional

A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.
