Property Overview

Property Details

allowedFormats String|String[]

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.15

Specify the print output file format(s) that the user can select based on the options available from the print service. This property can take a string value or an array of string values.

When this value is "all" (default value), all the print service formats are available to be used. When an array of string values is used, only those values that match the options available from the print service will be used. If none of the input string values match those available from the print service, allowedFormats will fallback to default behavior.

Default Value:"all"

• TemplateOptions.format

Example

const print = new Print({
  view: view,
  printServiceUrl: url
});

print.viewModel.allowedFormats = ["jpg", "png8", "png32"];

view.ui.add(print, {position: "top-right"});

allowedLayouts String|String[]

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.15

Specify the print output layout(s) that the user can select based on the options available from the print service. This property can take a string value or an array of string values.

When this value is "all" (default value), all the print service layouts are available to be used. When an array of string values is used, only those values that match the options available from the print service will be used. If none of the input string values match those available from the print service, allowedLayouts will fallback to default behavior.

Default Value:"all"

• TemplateOptions.layout

Example

const print = new Print({
  view: view,
  printServiceUrl: url
});

print.viewModel.allowedLayouts = ["a3-landscape", "a3-portrait"];

view.ui.add(print, {position: "top-right"});

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

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

defaultTemplates Collection<CustomTemplate>readonly

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.18

A collection of print templates defined on the Portal.

Print templates are used to apply pre-defined values to existing print options.

effectivePrintServiceUrl Stringreadonly

The effective URL of the REST endpoint of the Export Web Map Task.

effectiveTemplateCustomTextElements Object[]readonly

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22

Returns an array of objects of all print templates available on the custom print service to see which templates were published with customTextElements. These values can be overwritten in the Print widget UI, or programmatically using the templateCustomTextElements property.

The PrintViewModel calls the Get Layout Templates Info task on the GPServer to discover available templates. If the Get Layout Templates Info task is named differently on the custom print service, then no values will be returned, and it will not be possible to support customTextElements. In this scenario, we recommend republishing the print service to use the standard Get Layout Templates Info name.

extraParameters Objectinner

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20

This option allows passing extra parameters to the print (export webmap) requests.

includeDefaultTemplates Boolean

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.18

Indicates whether or not to include defaultTemplates.

Default Value:true

portal Portal

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.18

It is possible to search a specified portal instance's locator services. Use this property to set this ArcGIS Portal instance to search. This is especially helpful when working with a custom print template.

If this property is set, it is not necessary to set the printServiceUrl property.

See also

• CustomTemplate

printServiceUrl String

The URL of the REST endpoint of the Export Web Map Task. If the portal property is set, it is not necessary to set this property.

printTimeout Number

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.28

Print timeout value in milliseconds.

Default Value:120000

state Stringreadonly

The view model's state.

Possible Values:"disabled"|"initializing"|"ready"|"error"

Default Value:disabled

templateCustomTextElements Object[]

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22

An object containing an array of customTextElements name-value pair objects for each print template in a custom print service. Use this property to update the text for custom text elements on the page layout.

The PrintViewModel calls the Get Layout Templates Info task on the GPServer to discover possible customTextElements values for each template. The name of the task must match Get Layout Templates Info, templates must be published with customTextElements, and values must be strings. Values found there will be populated in the Print widget under Advanced options. These values can be overwritten in the Print widget UI, or programmatically using this property. To list all print templates available on the print service to see see which templates were published with customTextElements, use the effectiveTemplateCustomTextElements property.

Example

const printWidget = new Print({
   viewModel: new PrintVM({
      view: view,
      // specify your custom print service
      printServiceUrl: "",
      // `customTextElements` are defined per print template
      // this example has one template with `customTextElements`
      templateCustomTextElements: {
         // if there were more applicable templates, then we would
         // create another object with the template name containing
         // an array of more name-value pairs
         "Portrait_TextElements": [
            // the possible values are defined in the print service
            { "headquarters": "Tampa, Florida" },
            { "division": "NFC South" },
            { "founded": "1976" }
         ]
      }
   })
});

templatesInfo Objectreadonly

The service metadata that contains the format and layout information for the printout.

Example

const print = new Print({
  view: view,
  printServiceUrl: url
});

view.ui.add(print, {position: "top-right"});

console.log("PrintViewModel templatesInfo Formats: ", print.viewModel.templatesInfo.format.choiceList);
console.log("PrintViewModel templatesInfo Layouts: ", print.viewModel.templatesInfo.layout.choiceList);

updateDelay Number

The time interval in milliseconds between each job status request sent to an asynchronous GP task.

Default Value:1000

view MapView

The view from which the widget will operate.

Method Overview

this.addHandles(handle);

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();

Parameters

}

load(){Promise}

This method should be called to load the view model's printing resources.
