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.

effect FeatureEffectautocast

Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.15

The effect applied to the layer view. The effect allows for the selection of features via a filter, and an includedEffect and excludedEffect are applied to those features that respectively pass or fail the filter requirements.

Known Limitations

FeatureEffect is not supported in 3D SceneViews.

Example:

// set effect on excluded features (if outside of the geometry)
// make them gray and transparent
streamLayerView.effect = {
  filter: { // autocasts to FeatureFilter
    geometry: areaOfInterest,
  },
  excludedEffect: "grayscale(100%) opacity(30%)"
}

filter FeatureFilterautocast

Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.11

The attribute, geometry, and time extent filter. Only the features that satisfy the filter are displayed on the view.

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

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 when() 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
});
