UniqueValueGroup

AMD: require(["esri/renderers/support/UniqueValueGroup"], (UniqueValueGroup) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import UniqueValueGroup from "@arcgis/core/renderers/support/UniqueValueGroup.js";
Class: esri/renderers/support/UniqueValueGroup
Inheritance: UniqueValueGroup Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

UniqueValueGroup represents a group of unique value classes (i.e. categories). This is used to group a subset of categories under a heading.

At least one group must also be used if you want to represent multiple unique values with a single symbol.

Example
// This example groups categories under three headings:
// Commercial, Residential, and Other
layer.renderer = {
  type: "unique-value",
  field: "zonecode",
  uniqueValueGroups: [{
    heading: "Commercial",
    classes: [{
      label: "C-2 | Community Commercial",
      symbol: createSymbol([255,179,219]),
      values: ["C-1", "C-2"]
    }, {
      label: "C-3 | Major Commercial",
      symbol: createSymbol([255,0,0]),
      values: "C-3"
    }]
  }, {
    heading: "Residential",
    classes: [{
      label: "R-1 | Low-Density Residential",
      symbol: createSymbol([255,255,224]),
      values: "R-1"
    }, {
      label: "R-3 | Limited High-Density Residential",
      symbol: createSymbol([255,214,0]),
