ListItem

The ListItem class represents one of the operationalItems in the LayerListViewModel. In the LayerList widget UI, the list item represents a layer displayed in the view. It provides access to the associated layer's properties, allows the developer to configure actions related to the layer, and allows the developer to add content to the item related to the layer.

To hide list items in the LayerList widget, you must set the listMode property on the desired layers to hide. You cannot hide list items using this class or the LayerList class.

children Property children Collection<ListItem>

When a layer contains sublayers, this property is a Collection of ListItem objects belonging to the given layer.

childrenSortable Property childrenSortable Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16 ListItem since 4.2, childrenSortable added at 4.16.

Indicates if the children of a list item (or sublayers in a GroupLayer) can be sorted or moved/reordered.

Default Value:true

Example

// disables the children of a parent list item from being sorted
listItem.childrenSortable = false;

connectionStatus Property connectionStatus Stringreadonly Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24 ListItem since 4.2, connectionStatus added at 4.24.

Only valid when the list item represents a StreamLayer. Indicates the connectionStatus of the stream layer connection. This overrides the updating property.

Starting at version 4.27, a green beacon icon will appear next to the list item title when a stream layer is connected. Prior to version 4.27, when a stream layer is connected a green calcite check-circle icon will appear next to the list item title.

When a stream layer is disconnected an orange calcite offline icon will display next to the list item title.

Starting at version 4.26, the connectionStatus can be paused. This also results in displaying an orange offline icon next to the list item title.

Possible Values:"connected"|"disconnected"|"paused"

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.

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

error Property error Errorreadonly

The Error object returned if an error occurred.

hidden Property hidden Boolean Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24 ListItem since 4.2, hidden added at 4.24.

When true, hides the layer from the LayerList instance. This is an alternative to Layer.listMode, which hides a layer from all instances of LayerList that include the layer.

Default Value:false

Example

let layerList1 = new LayerList({
  view,
  container: layerList1Container,
  listItemCreatedFunction: (event) => {
    // hides the USA - Highway layer from the
    // layerList1 instance of layerlist
    if(event.item.title === "USA - Highways") {
      event.item.hidden = true;
    }
  }
});

layer Property layer Layer

The layer associated with the triggered action.

Default Value:null

layerView Property layerView LayerViewreadonly

The LayerView displaying data for the associated layer.

open Property open Boolean

Whether the layer is open in the LayerList.

Default Value:false

panel Property panel ListItemPanel Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 ListItem since 4.2, panel added at 4.7.

Allows you to display custom content for each ListItem in the LayerList widget.

A common scenario for using ListItemPanel is to display a Legend widget within each list item. The legend keyword can be used in the content property of the panel to display a legend for each layer in the LayerList.

Examples

// displays the legend for each layer list item
const layerList = new LayerList({
  view: view,
  listItemCreatedFunction: function(event){
    const item = event.item;
    item.panel = {
      content: "legend"
    };
  }
});

// displays content from the DOM in the LayerList
const layerList = new LayerList({
  view: view,
  listItemCreatedFunction: function(event){
    const item = event.item;
    item.panel = {
      content: document.getElementById("myDiv"),
      className: "esri-icon-chart",
      open: item.visible
    };
  }
});

parent Property parent ListItem Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.5 ListItem since 4.2, parent added at 4.5.

Example

// disables the list item from being sorted
listItem.sortable = false;
