Inheritance: RelationshipType GraphObjectType Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

A relationship type defines a homogenous collection of relationships that can exist between two entity types, with a common set of properties. For example, a relationship type defining vehicle ownership can associate a vehicle with a person, and the relationship can have properties such as the date a person bought the car and the date a person sold the car.

Many instances of a relationship type can be added to the knowledge graph. For example, to describe a family, multiple instances of the spouse-of, parent-of, and child-of relationships can be defined between two-person entities. Multiple instances of owns, leases, or rents relationship types can be defined between a person entity and vehicle or building entities.

addHandles

Inherited
Method
addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor

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.

fromJSON

Inherited
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
json Object

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns
Type Description
* Returns a new instance of this class.
