ScaleRangeSlider | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript

The ScaleRangeSlider widget allows the user to set a minimum and maximum scale based on named scale ranges. When a layer is provided to the widget, the minScale and maxScale are set to the scale range of the layer.

The user can update the scale range by dragging thumbs across the slider to update the minScale and maxScale. The user can also change the minScale and maxScale by using the dropdowns underneath the minScaleLimit and maxScaleLimit. The thumbnail shows a preview of the scale based on the region specified.

Example

const scaleRangeSlider = new ScaleRangeSlider({
  view: view,
  layer: featureLayer,  // scale range of this layer sets initial minScale and maxScale
  region: "MX",  // preview thumbnail will be of Mexico
});
view.ui.add(scaleRangeSlider, "bottom-left");

// to update the featureLayer min/max scale based on the slider
reactiveUtils.watch(
  () => [scaleRangeSlider.minScale, scaleRangeSlider.maxScale],
  ([minScale, maxScale]) => {
    featureLayer.minScale = minScale;
    featureLayer.maxScale = maxScale;
  }
);

Property Details

container Inherited Property container HTMLElement |null |undefinedautocast Inherited from Widget Autocasts from String

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 case 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 Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

Calcite Icon Search

id Inherited Property id String Inherited from Widget

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 Property label String

The widget's default label.

layer Property layer Layer |Sublayer |null |undefined

When provided, the initial minScale and maxScale values will match the layer's.

When a tiled layer is used, the slider will be restricted from moving the slider thumbs past the lods of the layer's tiling scheme.

The unavailable range will be designated with a dashed line.

The maximum scale of the active scale range. When the maxScale reaches the maxScaleLimit, the maxScale value becomes 0 and there is no maximum scale set.

maxScaleLimit Property maxScaleLimit Number

The lowest possible maximum scale value on the slider.

minScale Property minScale Number

The minimum scale of the active scale range. When the minScale reaches the minScaleLimit, the minScale value becomes 0 and there is no minimum scale.

minScaleLimit Property minScaleLimit Number

The highest possible minimum scale value on the slider.

mode Property mode String Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.29 ScaleRangeSlider since 4.13, mode added at 4.29.

The mode of the widget, indicating which slider thumbs can be adjusted.

Possible Values:"range" |"max-scale-only" |"min-scale-only"

Default Value:"range"

Default Value:false

view Property view MapView |SceneView |null |undefined

A reference to the MapView or SceneView. Set this to link the widget to a specific view.

viewModel Property viewModel ScaleRangeSliderViewModelautocast

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 ScaleRangeSliderViewModel class to access all properties and methods on the widget.

visible Inherited Property visible Boolean Inherited from Widget

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 Property visibleElements VisibleElements

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

scaleRangeSlider.visibleElements = {
  preview: false  // thumbnail preview of map will not be displayed
}
