Property Details

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

direction Property direction String|null

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 fieldColumn in the same FeatureTable, it will only be honored on the column with the highest index. For example, let's say the first column called ObjectId is set to asc and another column later in the table order also has a set direction, the initial ObjectId column's direction will be ignored for the last one with the set direction.

Use this in combination with the FieldColumnTemplate.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"

Default Value:null

initialSortPriority Property initialSortPriority Number

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
      fieldName: "ObjectId",
      direction: "asc",
      initialSortPriority: 1, // This field's sort order takes second-highest priority.
    },
    {
      fieldName: "Name",
      direction: "asc",
      initialSortPriority: 0, // This field's sort order takes the highest priority.
    },
    {
      fieldName: "Status",
      direction: "asc",
      initialSortPriority: 2 // This field's sort order is prioritized after Name and ObjectId, respectively.
    }]
  }
  container: "tableDiv"
});

label Property label String

A string value containing the column alias.

menuConfig Property menuConfig ButtonMenuConfig

Set this object to customize the column's menu content.

sortable Property sortable Boolean

Indicates whether the field column can be sorted.

Default Value:true

textAlign Property textAlign String

Aligns the columns cell content horizontally. Supported values: "start" | "center" | "end".

Possible Values:"start"|"center"|"end"

Default Value:start

type Property type Stringreadonly

The 'type' of column that the template represents.

Possible Values:"column"|"field"|"group"

visible Property visible Boolean

Return Type	Summary	Class
	Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object.	Accessor
*	Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product.	ColumnTemplateBase
Boolean	Returns true if a named group of handles exist.	Accessor
	Removes a group of handles owned by the object.	Accessor
Object	Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation.	ColumnTemplateBase

Method Details

addHandles Inherited Method addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey) Inherited from Accessor Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 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.

fromJSON Method fromJSON(json){*}static

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter

json Object

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns

Type	Description
*	Returns a new instance of this class.

hasHandles Inherited Method hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean} Inherited from Accessor Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 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 Inherited Method removeHandles(groupKey) Inherited from Accessor Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 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.

Example

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

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");

toJSON Method toJSON(){Object}

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.

Returns

Type	Description
Object	The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
