BasemapStyle | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31

The style of the basemap from the basemap styles service (v2). The basemap styles service is a ready-to-use location service that serves vector and image tiles representing geographic features around the world.

You can use the basemap styles service to display:

Streets and navigation styles
Imagery, oceanic, and topographic styles
OSM standard and streets styles
Creative styles such as nova and blue print
Localized place labels
Places with styles - since 4.29
Worldview boundaries - since 4.29

Use of the basemap style service requires authentication via an API key or user authentication. To learn more about API keys, see the API keys section in the Esri Developer documentation.

Property Details

apiKey Property apiKey String Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31 BasemapStyle since 4.28, apiKey added at 4.31.

An authorization string used to access a resource or service. API keys are generated and managed in the portal. 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.

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

id Property id String

The id of the basemap style. The values are of the form {provider}/{style} where provider is "arcgis" or "osm". Examples include arcgis/navigation and osm/standard. See ArcGIS basemap styles and OSM basemap styles for the full list of available styles.

Example

// sets the basemap to the OSM standard relief style
basemap.style = {
  id: "osm/standard-relief"
}

// sets the basemap to the arcgis outdoor style
basemap.style.id = "arcgis/outdoor";

language Property language String

The language of the place labels in the basemap style. Choose from a variety of supported languages, including global and local.

If not set, the app's current locale is used. If the app's locale is not supported by the service, the language will fall back to "global".

Supported languages

Example

// basemap place labels will in spanish
basemap.style = {
  id: "arcgis/outdoor",
  language: "es"
}

// basemap style will use the names of places in their local language (e.g. "Lisboa" for Lisbon)
basemap.style.language = "local";

places Property places String Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.29 BasemapStyle since 4.28, places added at 4.29.

Indicates whether to display places with the basemap style. Only supported with the arcgis/navigation and arcgis/navigation-night styles.

Possible Values:"all" |"attributed" |"none"

The URL to the basemap styles service.

Default Value:"https://basemapstyles-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/styles/v2/webmaps"

worldview Property worldview String Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.29 BasemapStyle since 4.28, worldview added at 4.29.

Displays country boundaries and labels based on a specific view of a country. Choose from a variety of supported worldviews.

Worldviews can only be specified for arcgis basemap styles (OSM is not supported). When a specific worldview is chosen, it is possible for some place labels to change language. However, when a specific language is provided, it will take priority over the language changes associated with the worldview.

const moroccoBasemap = new Basemap({
  style: new BasemapStyle({
    id: "arcgis/streets",
