RouteParameters

Property Overview

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"

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.

const stops = new FeatureSet({
  features: [
    new Graphic({
      geometry: new Point({

  attributes,
  geometry,
  symbol: {
    type: "simple-line",
    color: "green",
    width: "8px"
  }
}));

attributeParameterValues AttributeParameterValue[]

Use this property to specify additional values required by an attribute or restriction, such as to specify whether the restriction prohibits, avoids, or prefers travel on restricted roads. If the restriction is meant to avoid or prefer roads, you can further specify the degree to which they are avoided or preferred using this property. For example, you can choose to never use toll roads, avoid them as much as possible, or prefer them.

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

See also

• directionsTimeAttributeName

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.

• findBestSequence

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

• geometryPrecision

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).

• geometryPrecisionM

geometryPrecisionZ Number

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24

See also

• geometryPrecisionZ

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.

• ignoreInvalidLocations

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

• impedanceAttributeName

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

• outputGeometryPrecision

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"

Possible Value	Description
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.
