String	The area unit in which areas of polygons will be calculated.	AreasAndLengthsParameters
String	Defines the type of calculation for the geometry.	AreasAndLengthsParameters
String	The name of the class.	Accessor
String	The length unit in which perimeters of polygons will be calculated.	AreasAndLengthsParameters

Property Details

areaUnit Property areaUnit String

The area unit in which areas of polygons will be calculated. Use the strings listed below or any other valid area unit.

calculationType Property calculationType String

Defines the type of calculation for the geometry. The type can be one of the following:

Value	Description
planar	Planar measurements use 2D Cartesian mathematics to calculate length. Use this type if the length needs to be calculated in the input spatial reference. Otherwise use `preserveShape`.
geodesic	Use this type to calculate an area or length using only the vertices of the polygon to define the lines connecting the vertices as geodesic segments independent of the actual shape of the polygon. Note: a geodesic segment is the shortest path between two points on an ellipsoid.
preserve-shape	Calculate the area or length of the geometry on the surface of the Earth ellipsoid (for geometries defined in a projected or geographic coordinate system). This method preserves the shape of the geometry in its coordinate system, which means the true area or length will be calculated for the geometry that is displayed on the map.

Possible Values:"planar" |"geodesic" |"preserve-shape"

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

lengthUnit Property lengthUnit String

The length unit in which perimeters of polygons will be calculated. Use one of the possible values listed below or any of the numeric codes for linear units.

polygons Property polygons Polygon[]

Polygon geometries for which to compute areas and lengths.

Return Type	Summary	Class
	Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object.	Accessor
*	Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product.	AreasAndLengthsParameters
Boolean	Returns true if a named group of handles exist.	Accessor
	Removes a group of handles owned by the object.	Accessor
Object	Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation.	AreasAndLengthsParameters

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.

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 Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25.

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 Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 4.25.

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.
