spatialReferenceSupported

uid Inherited Property uid Stringreadonly Inherited from LayerView Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.33 LayerView since 4.0, uid added at 4.33.

An automatically generated unique identifier assigned to the instance. The unique id is generated each time the application is loaded.

updating Inherited Property updating Booleanreadonly Inherited from LayerView

Indicates if the layer view is making any updates that will impact what is displayed on the map. For example, this value is true when renderer, definitionExpression, filter or effect is changed or if the layer view is in the process of the fetching data.

Watch dataUpdating property instead to only know when the data has been updated (e.g. to run statistics query on all feature available in the layer view).

Default Value:false

Example

// Check for the first time layerView.updating becomes false. Then query for
// features that are visible within the view associated with the layer view.
await reactiveUtils.whenOnce(() => !layerView.updating);
const query = layerView.createQuery();
query.geometry = layerView.view.extent;
const result = layerView.queryFeatures(query);

// features that are visible within the view associated with the layer view.
await reactiveUtils.whenOnce(() => !layerView.updating);
const query = layerView.createQuery();
query.geometry = layerView.view.extent;
const result = layerView.queryFeatures(query);

visible Inherited Property visible Boolean Inherited from LayerView

When true, the layer is visible in the view. Value of this property is inherited from the layer.visible unless the developer overrides it. The layerView.visible will take precedence over layer.visible if both properties are set.

Default Value:true

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.

getSourceScale Method getSourceScale(){Promise<Number>} Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.32 ImageryLayerView since 4.0, getSourceScale added at 4.32.

Returns the map scale that corresponds to the source level of raster data.

Returns

Example

// Highlight features based on a query result

// Add a new set of highlight options to the view's highlights collection
view.highlights.push({
  name: "forest",
  color: "#forestgreen",
  haloOpacity: 0.8,
  fillOpacity: 0.3
});

// A handler can be used to remove any previous highlight when applying a new one
let highlight;

view.whenLayerView(layer).then((layerView) => {
  let query = layer.createQuery();
  query.where = "Category = 'Forested'";
  layer.queryRasters(query).then((result) => {
    // Remove any previous highlight, if it exists

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

Parameters

onFulfilled Function

optional

The function to call when the promise resolves.

onRejected Function

optional

The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise	Returns a new promise for the result of `onFulfilled` 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
});
