Property Overview

Property Details

connectionError Errorreadonly

The error that explains an unsuccessful attempt to connect to the stream service or an unexpected disconnection from the stream service.

connectionStatus Stringreadonly

The status of the Web Socket connection with the stream service. This property can be watched to see if the connection is lost unexpectedly.

Possible Values: connected | disconnected

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7

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

filter FeatureFilterautocastreadonly

The geometry and attribute filter. Only the features that satisfy the filter are displayed.

graphics Collection<Graphic>

Deprecated

• since version 4.8. Will be removed at 4.12.

Contains the collection of graphics visible in the layer view for the live stream. Graphics may be removed from the layer view by calling the removeAll() method from Collection.

This property is deprecated. Use queryFeatures method instead.

Example:

// removes all stream layer graphics from view
// new messages add features to the view
view.whenLayerView(streamLayer)
  .then(function(layerView){
    layer.graphics.removeAll();
  });

layer Layerreadonly inherited

The layer being viewed.

suspended Booleanreadonly inherited

Value is true if the layer is suspended (i.e., layer will not redraw or update itself when the extent changes).

updating Booleanreadonly inherited

Value is true when the layer is updating; for example, if it is in the process of fetching data.

Default Value:false

visible Boolean inherited

When true, the layer is visible in the view. Set this property to false to hide the layer from the view.

Default Value:true

Method Overview

Method Details

connect(){Promise}

Deprecated

• since version 4.9. Will be removed at 4.12.

Opens a web socket connection with the stream service to start receiving messages. This is called internally when the StreamLayer is added to a view.

The layer will now automatically connect when it is added to a view.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	The promise is resolved if the connection is successful or rejected with an error if the connection failed.

disconnect()

Deprecated

• since version 4.9. Will be removed at 4.12.

Closes the web socket connection with the stream service. This is called internally when the StreamLayer is removed from a view. To verify when the connection is closed, watch the connectionStatus property.

The layer will now automatically disconnect when it is removed a view.

updateFilter(filter){Promise<Object>}

Deprecated

• since version 4.11. Will be removed at version 4.12.

This method is deprecated. Update filter directly instead. Updates the filter on the StreamLayerView. The filter is updated only on the layer view from which it is called. To update the filter on all layer views generated from a common layer, use the StreamLayer.updateFilter() method. If the input filter object is undefined or null, the spatial and attribute filters are removed.

Filter changes only apply to incoming features. Features already displayed in the view will be removed automatically.

Parameters:

Specification:

filter Object Updates the spatial and attribute filters. If null, all filters are cleared. Specification: geometry Extent optional A spatial filter for filtering features. Only features that intersect the given geometry are displayed in the view. If null, the spatial filter is cleared. where String optional A SQL where clause used to filter features by attributes. If null, the attribute filter is cleared.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise<Object>	Resolves to an object that has a filter property, indicating the filter set on the stream service by the layer view. If the filter could not be updated, the promise is rejected with an error that explains why the filter failed to update.

See also:

• StreamLayer.updateFilter()

Examples:

view.whenLayerView(layer)
 .then(function(layerView){

   // updates the spatial filter based on the current view's extent
   // and removes the attribute filter
   layerView.updateFilter({
     geometry: view.extent.filter(),
     where: null
   });
 });

// updates the attribute filter to only display features whose
// route ID is 110
layerView.updateFilter({
  where: "ROUTE_ID = 110"
});

// clears all filters from the layer
layerView.updateFilter(null);

when(callback, errback){Promise}inherited

Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 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 then() in the same way
var 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
});
