FeatureTable

This widget provides an interactive tabular view of each feature's attributes in a feature layer. In addition, it also works with standalone tables that are not associated with underlying geometries. When working with a large dataset, the table loads additional features as the user scrolls.

Known Limitations

Number and date formatting is not yet supported but will be added in a future release.
Viewing related records is currently not supported.
Viewing attachments is currently not supported, although if a feature contains attachments, the total count per feature will display.
SceneLayers are supported only starting with version 4.20. SceneLayer are only supported if they have an associated FeatureLayer.

The following image displays the standalone FeatureTable widget without any associated map.

Property Details

attachmentsEnabled Boolean

Indicates whether to display the Attachments field in the table. This is only applicable if the feature layer supports attachments. Currently, this field only displays the count of attachments per feature.

featuretable attachmentsEnabled

Default Value:false

columnReorderingEnabled Boolean Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.16

When true, columns can be reordered by dragging a column's header.

Default Value:true

columns Collection<FieldColumn>autocast Autocasts from Object [] Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.16

A collection of columns within the table.

container String|HTMLElement inherited

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"
});

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

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

editingEnabled Boolean Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.16

Indicates whether editing is enabled on the data within the feature table. Double-clicking in a cell will enable editing for that value.

Editing permissions can be broken down with the following levels of priority:

Field - This is derived from the FeatureLayer. It takes what is set in the Field.editable property. This must always be true for editing to be enabled. This can be overriden using a field column configuration.
Config - The editable permissions on a field can be configured by setting the editable property of the FieldColumnConfig.
FeatureTable - The editingEnabled property must be set on the table in order for any type of editing to be enabled.

For example, if table editing is disabled in the widget, i.e. enableEditing is not set, it is still possible to enable editing for a specific column by setting the editable property. Vice versa is also true, if table editing is enabled, a field configuration can be used to disable editing for a specific column.

Ultimately, if the service's field is not editable, it is not possible to override its permissions using one of the options above.

featuretable editing

Default Value:false

See also:

Sample - FeatureTable with editing enabled

fieldConfigs FieldColumnConfig []autocast

An array of individual field configuration objects. This is where you can specify what fields to display and how you wish to display them.

When not set, all fields except for CreationDate, Creator, EditDate, Editor, and GlobalID will be included. Otherwise, it is up to the developer to set the right field(s) to override and display.

Default Value:null

filterGeometry Geometryautocast Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.19

Set this property to filter the features displayed in the table. It accepts a Geometry, e.g. Extent, and uses it as a spatial filter. When modifying this property, the FeatureTable will completely refresh and re-query for all features.

See also:

Sample - FeatureTable widget using a map

Example:

// Filter the table to only display the associated feature(s) that fall within the filterGeometry's geometry, (e.g. Extent)
featureLayer.watch("loaded", () => {
  watchUtils.whenFalse(view, "updating", () => {
    // Get the new extent of view/map whenever map is updated
    if (view.extent) {
      // Filter and show only the visible features in the feature table
      featureTable.filterGeometry = view.extent;
    }
  });
});

highlightOnRowSelectEnabled Boolean Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.16

Indicates whether to highlight the associated feature when a row is selected.

Default Value:true

id String inherited

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.

layer FeatureLayer|SceneLayer

The associated FeatureLayer or SceneLayer containing the fields and attributes to display within the widget. The table's pagination defaults to 50 records at a time. If the layer contains less than 50 records, it will use whatever count it has. Note that 0 records do not apply.

menu ButtonMenureadonly Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.19

Reference to the FeatureTable's primary menu.

The menu's items are regenerated when a column's visibility changes. Use the FeatureTable's menuConfig and menuConfig.items to customize menu items. These options are recommended, rather than updating The table's items directly off of its menu. This helps ensure the menu always shows the correct items.

See also:

menuConfig ButtonMenuConfig Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.16

Set this object to customize the feature table's menu content.

See also:

pageSize Number Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.19

The default page size used when displaying features within the table. By default, the page loads the first 50 features returned by the service.

It is not possible to overwrite the maximum page size on the server, ie. maxRecordCount, as this property only applies to set values less than the maximum page size, i.e. maxRecordCount, set on the service.

Default Value:50

See also:

ArcGIS REST API - FeatureLayer - maxRecordCount

view MapView

A reference to the MapView. This property must be set for select/highlighting in the map to work.

viewModel FeatureTableViewModelautocast

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 FeatureTableViewModel 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 VisibleElementsautocast

The visible elements that are displayed within the widget. This property provides the ability to turn individual elements of the widget's display on/off.

Example:

featureTable.visibleElements = {
   header: true,
   menu: true,
   menuItems: {
     clearSelection: true,
     refreshData: false,
     toggleColumns: false
   },
   selectionColumn: false
}
