Example

// Print the distance and time between each direction.
const routeLayer = new RouteLayer({
  portalItem: {
    id: "69569b47b1e445b8a42ec12feab41ce9"
  }
});
await routeLayer.load();

const locale = "en-US";
const formatMinutes = new Intl.NumberFormat(locale, {
  minimumFractionDigits: 1,
  maximumFractionDigits: 1
});
const formatDistance = new Intl.NumberFormat(locale, {
  minimumFractionDigits: 0,
  maximumFractionDigits: 0
});

 for (const directionLine of routeLayer.directionLines) {
  const { distance, duration } = directionLine;
  console.log(`Drive ${formatDistance.format(distance)} meters for ${formatMinutes.format(duration)} minutes.`);
}

// Drive 76 meters for 0.4 minutes.
// Drive 77 meters for 0.2 minutes.
// Drive 150 meters for 0.2 minutes.
// Drive 3,670 meters for 2.6 minutes.
// Drive 307 meters for 0.2 minutes.

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.

fromGraphic Method fromGraphic(graphic){DirectionLine}static Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24 DirectionLine since 4.23, fromGraphic added at 4.24.

Creates a DirectionLine from the parsed Graphic. The method assumes that the graphic's attributes conform to the route layer item schema.

Parameter

graphic Graphic

optional

A Graphic instance.

Returns

Type	Description
DirectionLine	A DirectionLine instance.

fromJSON Method fromJSON(json){* |null |undefined}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

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter

groupKey *

optional

A group key.

Returns
