ViewAnimation | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31

Contains a state property used for checking the state of the animation. The view animation is resolved when the animation has finished and is rejected if it is stopped.

reactiveUtils.when(() => view.animation, function(animation) {
  console.log(animation.state); // prints out "running"
  animation.when(function(animation) {
      console.log(animation.state); // prints out "finished"
    })
    .catch(function(animation) {
      console.log(animation.state); // prints out "stopped"
    });
});

Alternatively the state property can be watched for changes:

let animation = view.goTo(target, { speedFactor: 0.1 });

reactiveUtils.watch(
  () => animation.state,
  (state) => {
    switch (state) {
      case "finished":
        console.log("Animation finished.");
        break;
      case "stopped":
        console.log("Animation stopped.");
        break;
    }
  }
);

Property Details

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.

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

state Property state Stringreadonly

The state of the animation.

The animation terminates when the state is either finished or stopped and cannot transition again to running. The finished state indicates the animation has successfully ended, while the stopped state indicates that the animation was interrupted before it reached its final target.

Possible Values:"running" |"finished" |"stopped" |"waiting-for-target"

Default Value:"running"

target Property target Viewpoint |Promise<Viewpoint>

The target of the animation.

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.

finish Method finish()

Finishes the view animation by immediately going to the target and sets the state of the animation to finished.

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");
}

isFulfilled Method isFulfilled(){Boolean}

isFulfilled() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is fulfilled (either resolved or rejected). If it is fulfilled, true will be returned.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected).

isRejected Method isRejected(){Boolean}

isRejected() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is rejected. If it is rejected, true will be returned.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been rejected.

isResolved Method isResolved(){Boolean}

isResolved() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is resolved. If it is resolved, true will be returned.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved.

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");

stop Method stop()

Stops the view animation at its current state and sets the state of the animation to stopped.

when Method when(callback, errback){Promise} Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.6 ViewAnimation since 4.0, when added at 4.6.

when() may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: a callback function and an errback function. The callback executes when the instance of the class loads. The errback executes if the instance of the class fails to load.

Parameters

callback Function

optional

The function to call when the promise resolves.

errback Function

optional

The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise	Returns a new promise for the result of `callback` that may be used to chain additional functions.

Example

// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way
let view = new MapView();
view.when(function(){
  // This function will execute once the promise is resolved
}, function(error){
  // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error
});
