  label: 'Prominence (feet)',
  //autocasts to FieldInfo.Format
  format: {
    places: 0,
    digitSeparator: true
  }

Property Details

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

fieldFormat Property fieldFormat DateTimeFieldFormat |NumberFieldFormat |null |undefinedautocast Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.34 FieldInfo since 4.11, fieldFormat added at 4.34.

Provides formatting options for numerical or date fields, using the same format types as the layer level field formatting. Setting this property automatically updates the format property. This property takes precedence over the format property when both are set and working with supported layer types. FieldInfo.fieldFormat should be used in the context of fields content used within PopupTemplate.content, rather than directly on the PopupTemplate.fieldInfos property.

Notes:

This property is only supported for FeatureLayers that reference services (not supported for feature collections) and when set on a FieldsContent element within a PopupTemplate.
Use the format property instead if formatting:
- Layers other than FeatureLayer or feature collections.
- PopupTemplate.fieldInfos for layer types that don't support layer level field formatting.
- FieldInfo that contains field names referencing related fields or Arcade expressions.
- FieldInfos participating in clustering or binning popup templates.

See also

fieldName Property fieldName String |null |undefined

The field name as defined by the service or the name of an Arcade expression. Arcade expression names are defined in the expressionInfos property of the PopupTemplate. When referencing Arcade expressions, you must preface the name with expression/, such as expression/percent-total.

See also

ExpressionInfo.name

format Property format FieldInfoFormat |null |undefinedautocast

Class which provides formatting options for numerical or date fields and how they should display. Setting this property will also automatically update the fieldFormat property.

Notes:

Use this property to format date and numerical fields in the following scenarios:
- Format fields in Layers other than FeatureLayer or feature collections.
- Format fields in popupTemplate.fieldInfos for layer types that don't support layer level field formatting.
- Format fields that contain field names referencing related fields or Arcade expressions.
- Format fields in clustering or binning popup templates.
If formatting FieldsContent for a FeatureLayer, use the fieldFormat property to format dates and numbers instead. See the fieldFormat property description for limitations.
If displaying a timestamp-offset or date type field in a Popup, Features, or Feature widget and the MapView has a timezone set other than unknown, the abbreviated time zone suffix will be omitted from the attribute value. For example, the attribute value will display as 9/28/2014, 7:58 PM. To display an abbreviated time zone suffix, see the Read more section.

If the user wants date fields to show a time zone suffix (e.g. 9/28/2014, 7:58 PM PST), then the Arcade Text function can be used to format the field value. This can be done either with ExpressionContent or attribute expressions.

// Attribute expression using expressionInfos to append the time zone suffix to a date field.
// Date field types will show in the MapView's current time zone.
layer.popupTemplate = {
  title: "Display time zones",
  fieldInfos: [{
    fieldName: "expression/date-with-time-zone-suffix",
  }],
  expressionInfos: [{
    expression: `Text($feature.date_Field, "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")`,
    name: "date-with-time-zone-suffix",
  }],
  content: [{
    type: "fields"
  }]
};

// ExpressionContent to append the time zone suffix to a date field.
// Date field types will show in the MapView's current time zone by default.
layer.popupTemplate = {
  title: "Display time zones",
  content: [{
    type: "expression",
    expressionInfo: {
      expression: `return {
        type : 'text',
        text : Text($feature.date_Field, "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")
      }`
    }
  }]
 };

If the user wants timestamp-offset fields to display in the time zone from the server with an abbreviated time zone suffix, then the Arcade Text function can be used to format the field value. This can be done either with ExpressionContent or attribute expressions.

// Attribute expression using expressionInfos to append the time zone suffix to a timestamp-offset field.
layer.popupTemplate = {
  title: "Display time zones",
  fieldInfos: [{
    fieldName: "expression/TSO-from-server",
  }],
  expressionInfos: [{
    expression: `Text($feature.TimestampOffset_Field, "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")`,
    name: "TSO-from-server",
  }],
  content: [{
    type: "fields"
  }]
};

// ExpressionContent to append the time zone suffix to a timestamp-offset field.
layer.popupTemplate = {
  title: "Display time zones",
  content: [{
    type: "expression",
    expressionInfo: {
      expression: `return {
        type : 'text',
        text : Text($feature.TimestampOffset_Field, "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")
      }`
    }
  }]
 };

If the user wants timestamp-offset fields to display in the MapView's time zone with an abbreviated time zone suffix, then the ChangeTimeZone Arcade function can be used to format the value.

// Attribute expression using expressionInfos to append the MapView's current time zone suffix to a timestamp-offset field
layer.popupTemplate = {
  title: "Display time zones",
  fieldInfos: [{
    fieldName: "expression/TSO-matching-view-tz",
  }],
  expressionInfos: [{
    expression: `Text(ChangeTimeZone($feature.TimestampOffset_Field, GetEnvironment().timeZone), "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")`,
    name: "TSO-matching-view-tz",
  }],
  content: [{
    type: "fields"
  }]
};

// ExpressionContent to append the MapView's current time zone suffix to a timestamp-offset field
layer.popupTemplate = {
  title: "Display time zones",
  content: [{
    type: "expression",
    expressionInfo: {
      expression: `return {
        type: "text",
        text: Text(ChangeTimeZone($feature.TimestampOffset_Field, GetEnvironment().timeZone), "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")
      }`
    }
  }]
};

isEditable Property isEditable Boolean

A Boolean determining whether users can edit this field. This is not applicable to Arcade expressions.

Default Value:true

label Property label String |null |undefined

A string containing the field alias. Not applicable to Arcade expressions as the title is used instead.

statisticType Property statisticType String |null |undefined

Used in a one:many or many:many relationship to compute the statistics on the field to show in the popup. If the property is present, must be one of the following values:

Possible Values:"count" |"sum" |"min" |"max" |"avg" |"stddev" |"var"

visible Property visible Boolean

Indicates whether the field is visible in the popup window.

As of version 4.16, the default Popup has been improved to no longer display system fields that do not hold significant value, e.g. Shape__Area and Shape__Length are two fields that no longer display.

Default Value:true
