Association | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31

The utility network associations model connectivity, containment and structure relations between assets. An Association connects two network elements, the "From" and "To", and order of the association matter. This class defines an association and its basic properties.

Example

// Utility network service url
const networkServiceUrl = "https://myserver.esri.com/server/rest/services/NapervilleElectric/UtilityNetworkServer";

// Define the QueryAssociationsParameters
const queryAssociationsParameters = new QueryAssociationsParameters({
  associationTypes: ["containment", "attachment", "junction-edge-from-connectivity"],
  elements: [
    {
      networkSourceId: 2,
      globalId: "{46B3FA19-2237-4D38-A7CF-AA34C3T40420}",
      objectId: 44,
      terminalId: 1,
      assetGroupCode: 1,
      assetTypeCode: 1
    },
    {
      networkSourceId: 9,
      globalId: "{321C0089-1165-42D9-K45B-ED91B1A40500}",
      objectId: 45,
      terminalId: 1,
      assetGroupCode: 13,
      assetTypeCode: 441
    }
 ]
});

// Query associations, and assign the query result to a variable of type QueryAssociationsResult
const queryAssociationsResult = await queryAssociations(networkServiceUrl, queryAssociationsParameters);

// Print out the first association
console.log(queryAssociationsResult.associations[0]);

Property Details

associationType Property associationType String

The type of association. Associations that could be synthesized are attachment, connectivity or containment. There are also non-spatial associations that were introduced in schema version 4. Those will be added post 4.20

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

errorCode Property errorCode Number

Error code returned from the server for a failed associations query.

errorMessage Property errorMessage String

Message returned from the server for a failed associations query.

fromNetworkElement Property fromNetworkElement NetworkElement

The from side network element of the association. Contains the globalid, network source, and terminal.

geometry Property geometry Polyline

The synthesized polyline geometry created between the two network elements.

globalId Property globalId String

The globalId (UUID) of the association record, uniquely identifies this association row.

isContentVisible Property isContentVisible Boolean

Specifies the content visibility on the map.

percentAlong Property percentAlong Number

This double parameter of value of 0-1 indicates a percentage along the line of where the trace location is placed. Applicable to line features only.

Example

Line feature with objectId 100 with 2 midspan junctions (j1,j2). The line feature has 3 edge network elements
F-j1, j1-j2 and j2-T.

                                       OID=100
                               F------j1------j2------T

F-j1  (objectId=100, positionFrom=0, positionTo=0.33)
j1-j2 (objectId=100, positionFrom=0.33, positionTo=0.66)
j2-T  (objectId=100, positionFrom=0.66, positionTo=1)

When percentAlong is 0.5 (50%) the starting location will be placed on the middle edge (j1-j2)

                                       OID=100
                               F------j1---x--j2------T

When percentAlong is 0.1 (10%) the starting location will be placed on the first edge (F-j1)

                                       OID=100
                               F-x----j1------j2------T

status Property status Number

Indicates the type of association a feature or object participates in, the role the network feature plays in the association relationship, and any properties that are set.

toNetworkElement Property toNetworkElement NetworkElement

The to side network element of the association. Contains the globalid, network source, and terminal.

Method Details

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 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.

hasHandles Inherited Method hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean} Inherited from Accessor

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 Inherited Method removeHandles(groupKey) Inherited from Accessor

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");

toJSON Method toJSON(){Object}

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.

Returns

Type	Description
Object	The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
