Property Details

accumulateAttributes String[]

Use this property to specify whether the operation should accumulate values other than the value specified for impedanceAttribute. For example, if your impedanceAttribute is set to TravelTime, the total travel time for the route will be calculated by the operation. However, if you also want to calculate the total distance of the route in miles, you can specify Miles as the value for the accumulateAttributes property.

Possible Values:"kilometers"|"miles"|"minutes"|"travel-time"|"truck-minutes"|"truck-travel-time"|"walk-time"|"string"

See also
apiKey String

An authorization string used to access a resource or service. API keys are generated and managed in the ArcGIS Developer dashboard. An API key is tied explicitly to an ArcGIS account; it is also used to monitor service usage. Setting a fine-grained API key on a specific class overrides the global API key.

See also
directionsOutputType String

Define the content and verbosity of the driving directions. This property applies only when the returnDirections property is set to true.

Possible Values:"complete"|"complete-no-events"|"featuresets"|"instructions-only"|"standard"|"summary-only"

Possible Values:"travel-time"|"truck-travel-time"|"walk-time"|"minutes"|"truck-time"

See also
findBestSequence Boolean

Use this property to specify whether the operation should reorder stops to find the optimized route. If the property value is false, the operation returns a route that visits stops in the order you define. If the parameter value is true, the operation finds the best order to visit the stops. The operation will account for a variety of variables so that the total travel distance or travel time for the route is minimized. You can elect to preserve the origin and the destination stops while allowing the operation to reorder intermediary stops by setting the preserveFirstStop and preserveLastStop properties.

See also
geometryPrecision Number
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24

Use this property to specify the number of decimal places in the response geometries returned by solve operation. This applies to x- and y-values only (not m- or z-values).

See also
geometryPrecisionM Number
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24

Use this property to specify the number of decimal places in the response geometries returned by solve operation. This applies to m-value only (not x-,y- or z-values).

See also
geometryPrecisionZ Number

See also
ignoreInvalidLocations Boolean

Specify whether invalid input locations should be ignored when finding the best solution. An input point is deemed invalid by the operation if it is not within the maximum snap tolerance of any traversable street. When true invalid points are ignored. When false any invalid point in your request will cause the operation to return a failure.

See also
impedanceAttribute String

Specifies the impedance.

Impedance is a value that quantifies travel along the transportation network. Travel distance is an example of impedance; it quantifies the length of walkways and road segments. Similarly, drive time—the typical time it takes to drive a car along a road segment—is an example of impedance. This property will be ignored if travelMode is set.

Possible Values:"kilometers"|"miles"|"minutes"|"travel-time"|"truck-minutes"|"truck-travel-time"|"walk-time"

See also
outputGeometryPrecision Number

Use this property to specify by how much you want to simplify the route geometry returned by the operation. Simplification maintains critical points on a route, such as turns at intersections, to define the essential shape of the route and removes other points. The value of this property, regardless of whether you rely on the default or explicitly set a value, is overridden when you pass in travelMode.

The units are specified with the outputGeometryPrecisionUnits parameter.

See also
outputGeometryPrecisionUnits String

Use this property to specify the units for the value specified for the outputGeometryPrecision parameter. The value of this parameter, regardless of whether you rely on the default or explicitly set a value, is overridden when you pass in travelMode.

Possible Values:"centimeters"|"decimal-degrees"|"decimeters"|"feet"|"inches"|"kilometers"|"meters"|"miles"|"millimeters"|"nautical-miles"|"points"|"yards"

See also
outputLines String

none Do not return any shapes for the routes.
straight Return a straight line between the stops.
true-shape Return the exact shape of the resulting route that is based on the underlying streets.
true-shape-with-measure Return the exact shape of the resulting route that is based on the underlying streets and include route measurements that keep track of the cumulative travel time or travel distance along the route relative to the first stop.

Possible Values:"none"|"straight"|"true-shape"|"true-shape-with-measure"

Default Value:"true-shape"

Specify additional settings that can influence the behavior of the solver when finding solutions for the network analysis problems.

See also

Use this property to specify one or more points that will act as temporary restrictions or represent additional time or distance that may be required to travel on the underlying streets. For example, a point barrier can be used to represent a fallen tree along a street or a time delay spent at a railroad crossing.

See also

Use this property to specify polygons that either completely restrict travel or proportionately scale the time or distance required to travel on the streets intersected by the polygons.
