Property Details

autoWidth Property autoWidth Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 ColumnTemplateBase since 4.24, autoWidth added at 4.30.

Indicates if the column width will automatically adjust to account for large content. The column ignores the current width property when autoWidth is true.

Default Value:false

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

description Property description String |null |undefined Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31 ColumnTemplateBase since 4.24, description added at 4.31.

A string description of the column to give context to what it represents.

See also

direction Property direction String |null |undefined

Controls the sort order of the column. This property will only be honored on one column in the FeatureTable widget. If direction is specified on more than one column in the same FeatureTable, it will only be honored on the column with the highest index.

This is used in combination with the initialSortPriority and FeatureTable.multiSortEnabled properties to set sorting functionality for multiple columns.

Possible Value	Description
asc	Sorts the column in ascending order.
desc	Sorts the column in descending order.
null	No sort is applied to the column.

Possible Values:"asc" |"desc"

fieldName Property fieldName String

The unique field name as defined by the data source.

flexGrow Property flexGrow Number Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 ColumnTemplateBase since 4.24, flexGrow added at 4.30.

Controls the flex-grow property for the column. When set to 0, cell width is fixed.

Default Value:1

formatFunction Property formatFunction FormatFunction |null |undefined Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 ColumnTemplateBase since 4.24, formatFunction added at 4.30.

Custom function for rendering cell content that is called when the column is rendered in the table. The function should return the formatted content to display within a table's cell. This can be a string, number, an HTML element, or equivalent node type (e.g. a Calcite component). If the content is an HTML element, it is appended to the root element. If the content is a string or number, it is set as the innerHTML of the root element. This property is useful when you want to customize the cell content. For example, you can use this property to create a custom cell renderer that displays a progress bar in the cell. The progress bar can be used to show the progress of a task.

Example

// The following example demonstrates how to use the formatFunction property to create a custom cell renderer that displays a progress bar in the cell. The progress bar can be used to show the progress of a task.
columnTemplate.formatFunction = ({ column, feature, index, value })=> {
  const progress = document.createElement("progress");
  progress.max = 100;
  progress.value = value;
  return progress;
};

frozen Property frozen Booleanreadonly

Indicates if the the column is frozen in place at the beginning of the table. Column must be first in the FeatureTable's column's, or next to other frozen columns.

Default Value:false

frozenToEnd Property frozenToEnd Booleanreadonly Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 ColumnTemplateBase since 4.24, frozenToEnd added at 4.30.

Indicates if the column is frozen in place at the end of the table. Column must be last in the FeatureTable's column's, or next to other columns with frozenToEnd set to true.

Default Value:false

icon Property icon String |null |undefined Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 ColumnTemplateBase since 4.24, icon added at 4.30.

The string value indicating the icon displayed in the header cell of the column.

See also

Calcite Icon Search

iconText Property iconText String |null |undefined Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.32 ColumnTemplateBase since 4.24, iconText added at 4.32.

The string value displayed when hovering over the associated icon displayed in the header cell of the column. When a value is not provied, the column label is displayed instead. A value for 'icon' must also be set on the template.

Calcite Icon Search

initialSortPriority Property initialSortPriority Number |null |undefined

Use this in combination with FeatureTable.multiSortEnabled and FeatureTable.direction properties to set sorting functionality on multiple columns. This property indicates the index of the sorted column when compared to other columns, with lower numbers taking a higher priority.

If no sort priority is set, the priority defaults to the most recently-sorted column. This occurs when sorting via the UI, or programmatically by calling FeatureTable.sortColumn. For example, using the example snippet below, the sort order priority is set for three columns, with "Status" having the least priority. Calling table.sortColumn("Status", "asc") would update the Status column to the highest priority. This would also occur if manually sorting via the column's UI.

Default Value:null

Example

const table = new FeatureTable({
  layer: featureLayer,
  multiSortEnabled: true,
  tableTemplate: { // autocastable to TableTemplate
    columnTemplates: [{ // autocastable to FieldColumnTemplate
      type: "field",
      fieldName: "ObjectId",
      direction: "asc",
      initialSortPriority: 1, // This field's sort order takes second-highest priority.
    },
    {
      type: "field",
      fieldName: "Name",
      direction: "asc",
      initialSortPriority: 0, // This field's sort order takes the highest priority.
    },
    {
      type: "field",
      fieldName: "Status",
      direction: "asc",
      initialSortPriority: 2 // This field's sort order is prioritized after Name and ObjectId, respectively.
    }]
  }
  container: "tableDiv"
});

menuConfig Property menuConfig ColumnTableMenuConfig |null |undefined Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 ColumnTemplateBase since 4.24, menuConfig added at 4.30.

Configuration options for the column menu.

Prior to version 4.30, menuConfig was of type ButtonMenuConfig. With the necessary changes needed to move to a more flexible menu system, ButtonMenuConfig has been deprecated in favor of ColumnTableMenuConfig.
