LayerList | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31

The LayerList widget provides a way to display a list of layers, and switch on/off their visibility. The ListItem API provides access to each 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.

Notes

The LayerList does not emit an event when the visibility of a layer changes. To respond to layer visibility changes, watch the layer's visible property or the Map.allLayers property with reactiveUtils.
To hide layers in the map from the LayerList widget, you must set the listMode property on the desired layers to hide.
When a KnowledgeGraphLayer is present in the map, the LayerList widget will display the knowledge graph layer tables as a tableList ListItem.
When a CatalogLayer is present in the map, the LayerList widget will display the catalog layer dynamicGroupLayer in a catalogLayerList ListItem.

Example

const layerList = new LayerList({
  view: view
});
// Adds widget below other elements in the top left corner of the view
view.ui.add(layerList, {
  position: "top-left"
});

Property Details

catalogLayerList Property catalogLayerList CatalogLayerList |null |undefinedreadonly Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 LayerList since 4.2, catalogLayerList added at 4.30.

The CatalogLayerList widget instance that displays a catalog layer's dynamic group layer. The catalog layer list will be displayed as an expandable ListItem in the LayerList widget. This property is set when a catalog layer's dynamic group layer is expanded in the LayerList. Otherwise, it is null. This list item will only be displayed when catalog layers are loaded in the map and will be displayed as a child of the catalog layer. This property is useful for listening to the trigger-action event and managing selections in catalog layers.
