Feature

AMD: require(["esri/widgets/Feature"], (Feature) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import Feature from "@arcgis/core/widgets/Feature.js";
Class: esri/widgets/Feature
Inheritance: Feature Widget Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

The Feature widget displays a graphic according to its PopupTemplate. This widget is useful in instances where you want to display information about a feature but without the use of a Popup.

When popup templates define Arcade expressions as calculated values referenced in any popup template content or as expression elements, the map and spatialReference properties must be defined in the Feature widget for the Arcade to execute.

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

Example
// Create graphic
let graphic = new Graphic({
  geometry: view.center,
  popupTemplate: {
    content: [{
      // add popupTemplate content
    }]
  }
});

// map and spatialReference must be set for Arcade
// expressions to execute and display content
let feature = new Feature({
  graphic: graphic,
  map: map,
  spatialReference: spatialReference
});

view.ui.add(feature, "top-right");

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

defaultPopupTemplateEnabled Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.11

Enables automatic creation of a popup template for layers that have popups enabled but no popupTemplate defined. Automatic popup templates are supported for layers that support the createPopupTemplate method. (Supported for FeatureLayer, GeoJSONLayer, SceneLayer, CSVLayer, OGCFeatureLayer PointCloudLayer, StreamLayer, and ImageryLayer).

Starting with version 4.28, date fields are formatted using the short-date-short-time preset dateFormat rather than long-month-day-year in default popup templates created by setting the defaultPopupTemplateEnabled property to true. For example, previously a date that may have appeared as "December 30, 1997" will now appear as "12/30/1997 6:00 PM".

Default Value:false
graphic Graphic

The Graphic used to represent the feature.

Default Value:null

Example
let graphic = new Graphic({
  geometry: view.center,
  attributes: {
    "name": "Spruce",
    "family": "Pinaceae",
    "count": 126
  },
  symbol: new SimpleMarkerSymbol({
    style: "square",
    color: "blue",
    size: "8px"
  }),
  popupTemplate: {
    content: [
      {
        // Set popup template content
      }
    ]
  }
});
headingLevel Number
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20

Indicates the heading level to use for the title of the feature widget. By default, the title is rendered as a level 2 heading (e.g. <h2>Title of content</h2>). Depending on the widget's placement in your app, you may need to adjust this heading for proper semantics. This is important for meeting accessibility standards.

Default Value:2
See also
Example
// feature title will render as an <h3>
feature.headingLevel = 3;

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.

map Map
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.11

A reference to the view's Map. Use this property when needing to get access to the underlying layers within the map. This is required when Arcade expressions are defined in the Feature widget or the layer's popup template.

Default Value:null
See also
Example
// The building footprints represent the buildings that intersect a clicked parcel
let buildingFootprints = Intersects($feature, FeatureSetByName($map, "Building Footprints"));
spatialReference SpatialReference
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.11

The spatial reference used for Arcade operations.

Default Value:null
See also
title Stringreadonly

The title for the feature. You can disable this via the visibleElements property.

Default Value:null
See also

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

This property must be set for date and timestamp-offset fields displayed in the Feature widget to respect the view's time zone.

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 FeatureViewModel 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 4.11

The visible elements that are displayed within the widget's graphic.popupTemplate.content. This property provides the ability to turn individual elements of the widget's display on/off. See the PopupTemplate.content documentation for additional information on how these elements work.
