BasemapToggle

AMD: require(["esri/widgets/BasemapToggle"], (BasemapToggle) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import BasemapToggle from "@arcgis/core/widgets/BasemapToggle.js";
Class: esri/widgets/BasemapToggle
Inheritance: BasemapToggle Widget Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.0

The BasemapToggle provides a widget which allows an end-user to switch between two basemaps. The toggled basemap is set inside the view's map object.

basemap-toggle

Starting with version 4.23, the BasemapToggle widget can have two basemaps with different spatial references. Set the MapView.spatialReferenceLocked property to true to disable basemaps in different spatial references and prevent users from changing the view's spatial reference at runtime.

For information about gaining full control of widget styles, see the Styling topic.

Example
// Create a map with an initial basemap
let map = new Map({
  basemap: "streets-vector",  // The initial basemap to toggle from
  ground: "world-elevation"
});

// Reference the map in the view instance
let view = new SceneView({
  container: "viewDiv",
  map: map
});

let basemapToggle = new BasemapToggle({
  view: view,  // The view that provides access to the map's "streets-vector" basemap
  nextBasemap: "hybrid"  // Allows for toggling to the "hybrid" basemap
});

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"
});

<body>
  <div id="viewDiv"></div>
  <div id="basemapGalleryDiv"></div>

// 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

});
declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

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

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.

label String

The widget's default label.

nextBasemap Basemapautocast
Autocasts from String|Object

The next basemap for toggling. One of the following values may be set to this property:

A reference to the MapView or SceneView. This view provides the BasemapToggle widget with access to the initial basemap to toggle from via the view's map property.

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 BasemapToggleViewModel class to access all properties and methods on the widget.

visible Boolean inherited

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;
visibleElements VisibleElements
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.15

The visible elements that are displayed within the widget. This property provides the ability to turn individual elements of the widget's display on/off.

Example
basemapToggle.visibleElements = {
  title: false
};

Method Details

addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)inherited
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 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.

  () => {
    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.

classes(classNames){String}inherited
