Expand | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.32

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

Example

// LayerList
const layerList = new LayerList({
  container: document.createElement("div"),

  // expandTooltip: "Expand LayerList", // optional, defaults to "Expand" for English locale
  view: view,
  content: layerList

Default Value:false

closeOnEsc Property closeOnEsc Boolean |Function

   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 Property collapseIcon String Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27 Expand since 4.3, collapseIcon added at 4.27.

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

Default Value:"Collapse" (English locale)

container Inherited Property container HTMLElement |null |undefinedautocast Inherited from Widget Autocasts from String

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 case 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 Property content String |HTMLElement |Widget |DomNodeOwner

The content to display within the expanded 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)

   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");

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.

Tooltip to display to indicate Expand widget can be expanded.

Default Value:"Expand" (English locale)

Indicates whether the widget is currently expanded or not.

Default Value:false

focusTrapDisabled Property focusTrapDisabled Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.32 Expand since 4.3, focusTrapDisabled added at 4.32.

Disables focus trapping within the expand widget.

Default Value:false

group Property group String |null |undefined Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.6 Expand since 4.3, group added at 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's ui property.

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 Property iconNumber Number

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

id Inherited Property id String Inherited from Widget

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 Property label String

The widget's default label.

mode Property mode String Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Expand since 4.3, mode added at 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"

placement Property placement String |null |undefined Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 Expand since 4.3, placement added at 4.30.

The placement used by the calcite popover when the widget is expanded.

Default Value:null

view Property view MapView |SceneView |null |undefined

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

viewModel Property viewModel ExpandViewModelautocast

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 Inherited Property visible Boolean Inherited from 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;
