Property Details

browserTouchPanEnabled Property browserTouchPanEnabled Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14 Navigation since 4.9, browserTouchPanEnabled added at 4.14.

Indicates if single finger touch drag events are enabled or disabled. When false, the map cannot be panned with single finger touch gesture on touch devices. This will allow web pages to scroll down without panning the map on touch devices. While single touch panning and zooming is disabled, the map can still be panned, zoomed, and rotated (if unconstrained) with two fingers. This property does not affect mouse-based dragging.

Default Value:true

Example

// Disable single touch panning in a MapView.
const view = new MapView({
  container: "viewDiv",
  map: new Map({
    basemap: "streets-vector"
  })
});
view.navigation.browserTouchPanEnabled = false;

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

gamepad Property gamepad GamepadSettings

Gamepad navigation specific configuration settings.

Example

// Disable the gamepad usage in MapView
const view = new MapView({
  container: "viewDiv",
  map: new Map({
    basemap: "satellite"
  }),
  center: [176.185, -37.643],
  zoom: 13,
  navigation: {
    gamepad: {
      enabled: false
    }
  }
});

// Disable gamepad usage in SceneView.
const view = new SceneView({
  container: "viewDiv",
  map: new Map({
    basemap: "satellite",
    ground: "world-elevation"
  }),
  camera: {
    position: [176.171, -37.660, 2000],
    heading: 0,
    tilt: 60
  },
  navigation: {
    gamepad: {
      enabled: false
    }
  }
});

momentumEnabled Property momentumEnabled Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14 Navigation since 4.9, momentumEnabled added at 4.14.

When true, the view will temporarily continue to pan after the pointer (e.g. mouse, stylus, finger) has lifted.

With respect to MapView, this property will be ignored if config.respectPrefersReducedMotion is true and the user has requested reduced motion. See prefers-reduced-motion for more information.

Default Value:true

Example

// Disable pan animation in the MapView.
const view = new MapView({
  container: "viewDiv",
  map: new Map({
    basemap: "streets-vector"
  })
});
view.navigation.momentumEnabled = false;

mouseWheelZoomEnabled Property mouseWheelZoomEnabled Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14 Navigation since 4.9, mouseWheelZoomEnabled added at 4.14.

Indicates whether the view can be zoomed in or out with the mouse wheel. When a map occupies part the screen, page navigation may be difficult at times since mouse wheel movement over the map can be interpreted as map zooming rather than page scrolling. In some cases, setting mouseWheelZoomEnabled to false can make scrollable webpages with maps easier to navigate.

Default Value:true

Example

// To disable mouse wheel zooming in a MapView.
const view = new MapView({
  container: "viewDiv",
  map: new Map({
    basemap: "streets-vector"
  })
});
view.navigation.mouseWheelZoomEnabled = false;

// 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.
