Class: esri/symbols/WebStyleSymbol
Inheritance: WebStyleSymbol Symbol Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.1

WebStyleSymbol is a class used to conveniently create vector 2D symbols and realistic and thematic 3D symbols. It is a wrapper for creating CIMSymbol and PointSymbol3D objects that point to a web style resource available in the API.

web-style

Web styles are collections of symbols stored in an ArcGIS Enterprise portal or ArcGIS Online item. As of the current release, only Esri Web Style Symbols (2D) and Esri Web Style Symbols (3D) can be used in conjunction with this class. Note that the 2D web style symbols are only supported in 2D and 3D web style symbols are only supported in 3D with an exception of EsriIconsStyle which can be used in both 2D and 3D.

A WebStyleSymbol does not contain any symbology definition itself; it only contains a reference to a web style symbol. For visualization purposes, it is internally replaced with the CIMSymbol or the PointSymbol3D instance it refers to. You can use fetchSymbol() to retrieve the actual symbol object from the web style to alter its color or size.

A web style can be referenced either directly with a URL (styleUrl) or registered style's unique name (styleName).

Known Limitation

  • Currently, fetchSymbol() method will only work for 3d web style symbols

Method Details

addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)inherited
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 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.

clone(){WebStyleSymbol}

Creates a deep clone of the symbol.

Returns
Type Description
WebStyleSymbol A deep clone of the object that invoked this method.
Example
// Creates a deep clone of the graphic's symbol
let symLyr = graphic.symbol.clone();
fetchCIMSymbol(options){Promise<CIMSymbol>}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16

Returns the CIMSymbol instance the WebStyleSymbol refers to.

Parameters
options Object
optional

An object with the following properties.

Specification
signal AbortSignal
optional

Signal object that can be used to abort the asynchronous task. The returned promise will be rejected with an Error named AbortError when an abort is signaled. See also AbortController for more information on how to construct a controller that can be used to deliver abort signals.

Returns
Type Description
Promise<CIMSymbol> When resolved, returns a CIMSymbol instance.
Example
// Given a SimpleRenderer with a WebStyleSymbol,
// fetch the corresponding CIMSymbol,
// then replace the renderer symbol with the returned CIMSymbol
renderer.symbol.fetchCIMSymbol().then(function (cimSymbol) {
  renderer.symbol = cimSymbol;
});
fetchSymbol(options){Promise<PointSymbol3D>}

Downloads and returns the PointSymbol3D instance the WebStyleSymbol refers to.

Parameters

Example
// Given a SimpleRenderer with a WebStyleSymbol, replaces the symbol with its non-referencing version by fetching it
renderer.symbol.fetchSymbol().then(function(actualSymbol) {
  renderer.symbol = actualSymbol;
});
fromJSON(json){*}static
