FeatureSet | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31

A collection of features returned from ArcGIS Server or used as input to methods. Each feature in the FeatureSet may contain geometry, attributes, and symbology. If the FeatureSet does not contain geometry, and only contains attributes, the FeatureSet can be treated as a table where each feature is a row object. Methods that return FeatureSet include query.

Property Details

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

displayFieldName Property displayFieldName String

The name of the layer's primary display field. The value of this property matches the name of one of the fields of the feature. This is only applicable when the FeatureSet is returned from a task. It is ignored when the FeatureSet is used as input to a geoprocessing task.

exceededTransferLimit Property exceededTransferLimit Boolean

Typically, a layer has a limit on the number of features (i.e., records) returned by the query operation. If maxRecordCount is configured for a layer, exceededTransferLimit will be true if a query matches more than the maxRecordCount features. It will be false otherwise. Supported by ArcGIS Server version 10.1 and later.

features Property features Graphic[]autocast Autocasts from Object []

The array of graphics returned from a task.

fields Property fields Field[]autocast Autocasts from Object []

Information about each field.

geometryType Property geometryType String

The geometry type of features in the FeatureSet. All features's geometry must be of the same type.

queryGeometry Property queryGeometry Geometry

The geometry used to query the features. It is useful for getting the buffer geometry generated when querying features by distance or getting the query geometry projected in the outSpatialReference of the query. The query geometry is returned only for client-side queries and hosted feature services. The query's returnQueryGeometry must be set to true and the layer's capabilities.query.supportsQueryGeometry has to be true for the query to return query geometry.

Query.returnQueryGeometry

spatialReference Property spatialReference SpatialReference

When a FeatureSet is used as input to Geoprocessor, the spatial reference is set to the map's spatial reference by default. This value can be changed. When a FeatureSet is returned from a task, the value is the result as returned from the server.

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.	FeatureSet
Boolean	Returns true if a named group of handles exist.	Accessor
	Removes a group of handles owned by the object.	Accessor

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.
