This widget allows users to view and edit attachments associated with a feature and is considered a standalone experience that can be utilized in widgets such Popup and Editor. When viewing attachments, the attachment's thumbnail, file format, and size are displayed. The Popup widget uses this widget's functionality to display attachments. Whereas the Editor widget has the functionality to edit attachments automatically configured within it.
If the associated feature layer(s) contains an attachment
capability,
the widget will recognize it as such. And based on the functionality needed, will display the attachment for viewing
or editing.
If needing to edit attachments, the feature layer must first be enabled for editing. The ability to create, update, and delete attachments will display based on the feature layer's editing permissions.
Known Limitations
- Editing attachments is currently available using the Editor widget. Future API releases will have additional functionality to edit outside of this widget.
- Batch attachment editing is not supported.

-
The ID or node representing the DOM element containing the widget. This property can only be set once. The following examples are all valid use cases when working with widgets.
Examples:// Create the HTML div element programmatically at runtime and set to the widget's container const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({ view: view, container: document.createElement("div") }); // Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view view.ui.add(basemapGallery, { position: "top-right" });
// Specify an already-defined HTML div element in the widget's container const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({ view: view, container: basemapGalleryDiv }); // Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view view.ui.add(basemapGallery, { position: "top-right" }); // HTML markup <body> <div id="viewDiv"></div> <div id="basemapGalleryDiv"></div> </body>
// Specify the widget while adding to the view's UI const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({ view: view }); // Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view view.ui.add(basemapGallery, { position: "top-right" });
-
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as
esri.folder.className
.
-
displayType String
-
A string value indicating how to display an attachment.
Value Description auto Default value. If a feature layer's capabilities supports resizing attachments, the popup will display attachments in preview
mode.preview Shows a thumbnail image of the attachment. list Shows a list of attachment links. Possible Values:"auto"|"preview"|"list"
- Default Value:"auto"
-
graphic Graphic
-
The graphic for the attachments.
-
The unique ID assigned to the widget when the widget is created. If not set by the developer, it will default to the container ID, or if that is not present then it will be automatically generated.
-
The widget's label.
This property is useful whenever the widget is controlled by another one (e.g. Expand)
-
viewModel AttachmentsViewModelautocast
-
The view model for this widget. This is a class that contains all the logic (properties and methods) that controls this widget's behavior. See the AttachmentsViewModel class to access all properties and methods on the widget.
-
Indicates whether the widget is visible.
If
false
, the widget will no longer be rendered in the web document. This may affect the layout of other elements or widgets in the document. For example, if this widget is the first of three widgets associated to the upper right hand corner of the view UI, then the other widgets will reposition when this widget is made invisible. For more information, refer to the CSS display value of"none"
.- Default Value:true
Example:// Hides the widget in the view widget.visible = false;

Method Details
-
A utility method used for building the value for a widget's
class
property. This aids in simplifying CSS class setup.Parameter:repeatable The class names.
Returns:Type Description String The computed class name. - See also:
Example:// .tsx syntax showing how to set CSS classes while rendering the widget render() { const dynamicIconClasses = { [CSS.myIcon]: this.showIcon, [CSS.greyIcon]: !this.showIcon }; return ( <div class={classes(CSS.root, CSS.mixin, dynamicIconClasses)} /> ); }
-
destroy()inherited
-
Destroys the widget instance.
-
Emits an event on the instance. This method should only be used when creating subclasses of this class.
Parameters:type StringThe name of the event.
event ObjectoptionalThe event payload.
Returns:Type Description Boolean true
if a listener was notified
-
Indicates whether there is an event listener on the instance that matches the provided event name.
Parameter:type StringThe name of the event.
Returns:Type Description Boolean Returns true if the class supports the input event.

-
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).
-
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.19
-
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.
-
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.19
-
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.
-
Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.
Parameters:An event or an array of events to listen for.
listener FunctionThe function to call when the event fires.
Returns:Type Description Object Returns an event handler with a remove()
method that should be called to stop listening for the event(s).Property Type Description remove Function When called, removes the listener from the event. Example:view.on("click", function(event){ // event is the event handle returned after the event fires. console.log(event.mapPoint); });
-
own(handles)inherited
-
Widget teardown helper. Any handles added to it will be automatically removed when the widget is destroyed.
Parameter:handles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]Handles marked for removal once the widget is destroyed.
-
postInitialize()inherited
-
This method is primarily used by developers when implementing custom widgets. Executes after widget is ready for rendering.
-
This method is primarily used by developers when implementing custom widgets. It must be implemented by subclasses for rendering.
Returns:Type Description Object The rendered virtual node.
-
renderNow()inherited

when()
may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: acallback
function and anerrback
function. Thecallback

executes if the instance of the class fails to load.Parameters:callback FunctionoptionalThe function to call when the promise resolves.
errback FunctionoptionalThe 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 the BasemapGallery widget, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way let bmGallery = new BasemapGallery(); bmGallery.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 });
