Expand

AMD: require(["esri/widgets/Expand"], (Expand) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import Expand from "@arcgis/core/widgets/Expand.js";
Class: esri/widgets/Expand
Inheritance: Expand Widget Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.3

The Expand widget acts as a clickable button for opening a widget.

If adding a Slider, HistogramRangeSlider, or TimeSlider as content to the Expand widget, the container or parent container of the widget must have a width set in css for it to render inside the Expand widget.

If setting the width on the slider's container, then set the slider.container as the content of the expand rather than the slider itself.

expand.content = slider.container

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

Property Details

autoCollapse Boolean

Automatically collapses the expand widget instance when the view's viewpoint updates.

Default Value:false
closeOnEsc Boolean|Function

When true, the Expand widget will close after the Escape key is pressed when the keyboard focus is within its content. This property can also be set to a function that returns a boolean, allowing for more customization for when to allow the Expand widget to be closed from the esc key.

Default Value:true
Examples
let expand = new Expand({
   view: view,
   content: searchWidget,
   // widget will not be able to be closed from the ESC key
   closeOnEsc: false
});
let expand = new Expand({
   view: view,
   content: searchWidget,
   // widget will close on ESC when the search widget has no active menu
   closeOnEsc: function() {
     return searchWidget.activeMenu === "none"
   }
});
collapseIcon String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27

Calcite icon used to style the Expand button when the content can be collapsed.

Default Value:null

collapseIconClass String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.4
Deprecated since 4.27. Use collapseIcon instead.

Icon font used to style the Expand button.

collapseTooltip String

Tooltip to display to indicate Expand widget can be collapsed.

Default Value:"Collapse" (English locale)

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"
});
content Node|String|Widget

The content to display within the expanded Expand widget.

If adding a Slider, HistogramRangeSlider, or TimeSlider as content to the Expand widget, the container or parent container of the widget must have a width set in css for it to render inside the Expand widget.

If setting the width on the slider's container (rather than a parent container), then set the slider.container as the content of the expand rather than the slider itself.

expand.content = slider.container

Examples
// A. specify content with a widget
   let searchWidget = new Search({
     view: view
   });

   let expand = new Expand({
     expandIcon: "search",
     view: view,
     content: searchWidget
   });
   view.ui.add(expand, "bottom-left");
// B. specify content with a string (of HTML)
   content: "Hi, I can have <input placeholder='HTML'/>!"
// C. specify content with a DOM node
   let node = domConstruct.create("div", {
     innerHTML: "I'm a real node!"
   });

   let expand = new Expand({
     expandIcon: "arrow-right",
     view: view,
     content: node
   });
   view.ui.add(expand, "top-right");

See also
expandTooltip String

Tooltip to display to indicate Expand widget can be expanded.

Default Value:"Expand" (English locale)
group String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.6

This value associates two or more Expand widget instances with each other, allowing one instance to auto collapse when another instance in the same group is expanded. For auto collapsing to take effect, all instances of the group must be included in the view.ui.

For example, if you place multiple Expand instances in the top-left of the view's ui, you can assign them to a group called top-left. If one Expand instance is expanded and the user clicks on a different instance in the top-left group, then the first instance is collapsed, allowing the content of the second instance to be fully visible.

Example
let expand1 = new Expand({
  view: view,
  content: document.getElementById("bg-gallery"),
  expandIcon: "basemap",
  group: "bottom-right"
});
let expand2 = new Expand({
  view: view,
  content: document.getElementById("legend"),
  expandIcon: "key",
  group: "bottom-right"
});

view.ui.add([expand1, expand2], "bottom-right");
iconNumber Number

A number to display at the corner of the widget to indicate the number of, for example, open issues or unread notices.

expand widget icon number

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.

mode String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

The mode in which the widget displays. These modes are listed below.

mode description
auto This is the default mode. It is responsive to browser size changes and will update based on whether the widget is viewed in a desktop or mobile application.
floating Use this mode if you wish to always display the widget as floating regardless of browser size.
drawer Use this mode if you wish to always display the widget in a panel regardless of browser size.

Possible Values:"auto"|"floating"|"drawer"

Default Value:"auto"

A reference to the MapView or SceneView. Set this to link the widget to a specific view.

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 ExpandViewModel 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;
