Property Details

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

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

geodesicDistanceThreshold Number

When the coordinate sustem is projected (other than web mercator) then distances less than this threshold will be computed planimetrically. Otherwise distances will be computed geodetically.

Default Value:100000
Example
// To set the threshold at 10 km
let measurementWidget = new DistanceMeasurement2D({
  viewModel: {
    view: view,
    geodesicDistanceThreshold: 10000
  }
});
measurement Objectreadonly

The length and geometry of the measurement polyline in meters.

Properties
length Number

Line length (m).

geometry Polyline

Measurement line.

Example
// After creating and adding the DistanceMeasurement2D widget
let measurementWidget = new DistanceMeasurement2D({
  view: view
});
view.ui.add(measurementWidget, "top-right");

// Raw measurements (in meters) can be accessed from this property
measurementWidget.watch("viewModel.measurement", function(measurement) {
  console.log(
    "Length: ", measurement.length,
    "Geometry: ", measurement.geometry
  );
});
measurementLabel Stringreadonly

This property returns the locale specific representation of the length. Lengths are rounded to two decimal places. Lengths are sourced from the measurement property (in meters) and converted to the user defined units or system.

Example
// After creating and adding the DistanceMeasurement2D widget
let measurementWidget = new DistanceMeasurement2D({
  view: view
});
view.ui.add(measurementWidget, "top-right");

// The measurement label can be accessed from this property
measurementWidget.watch("viewModel.measurementLabel", function(label) {
  console.log(
     "Label: ", label
  );
});
state Stringreadonly

The view model's state.

Value Description
disabled not ready yet
ready ready for measuring
measuring measuring has started
measured measuring has finished

Possible Values:"disabled"|"ready"|"measuring"|"measured"

Default Value:disabled
Example
// To display the state of the DistanceMeasurement2D widget
let measurementWidget = new DistanceMeasurement2D({
  view: view
});
measurementWidget.watch("viewModel.state", function(state){
  console.log("Current state: ", state);
});

Unit system (imperial, metric) or specific unit used for displaying the distance values. Possible values are listed in unitOptions.

Example
// To create the DistanceMeasurement2D widget that displays distance in yards
let measurementWidget = new DistanceMeasurement2D({
  viewModel: {
    view: view,
    unit: "yards"
  }
});

// To display the current measurement unit
console.log('Current unit: ', measurementWidget.viewModel.unit);
unitOptions SystemOrLengthUnit[]

List of available units and unit systems (imperial, metric) for displaying the distance values. By default, the following units are included: metric, imperial, inches, feet, us-feet, yards, miles, nautical-miles, meters, kilometers. Possible unit values can only be a subset of this list.

Example
// To display the available units to the console
let measurementWidget = new DistanceMeasurement2D({
  view: view
});
console.log('All units: ', measurementWidget.viewModel.unitOptions.join(", "));
view MapView

The view from which the widget will operate.

Example
// To create DistanceMeasurement2D widget with the view property
let measurementWidget = new DistanceMeasurement2D({
  viewModel: {
    view: view
  }
});

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.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,
  () => {
    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.

clear()
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16

Clears the current measurement.

hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}inherited
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
Example
// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
  obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}
removeHandles(groupKey)inherited
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.

obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
start()
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16

Starts a new measurement.

Example
const distanceMeasurement2DViewModel = new DistanceMeasurement2DViewModel({
  view: view,
  unit: "us-feet"
});

await distanceMeasurement2DViewModel.start();
