LayerSearchSource

AMD: require(["esri/widgets/Search/LayerSearchSource"], (LayerSearchSource) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import LayerSearchSource from "@arcgis/core/widgets/Search/LayerSearchSource.js";
Class: esri/widgets/Search/LayerSearchSource
Inheritance: LayerSearchSource SearchSource Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.11

The following properties define a Layer-based source whose features may be searched by a Search widget instance.

For string field searches, there is no leading wildcard. This effectively makes exactMatch true, which will remove unnecessary search results and suggestions.

Layers created from client-side graphics are not supported.

layer Layer

The layer queried in the search. This is required. The layer can be a map/feature service feature layer(s), SceneLayers with an associated feature layer, BuildingComponentSublayer with an associated feature layer, GeoJSONLayer, CSVLayer or OGCFeatureLayer.

Example
LayerSearchSource.searchTemplate = "{County}, {State}";

Specify this to add a suffix to the user's input for the search value.

suggestionsEnabled Boolean inherited

Indicates whether to display suggestions as the user enters input text in the widget.

Default Value:true
suggestionTemplate String

Method Details

addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)inherited
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,
  () => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;
  },
  { once: true }
);

this.addHandles(handle);

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

groupKey *
optional

Key identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.

Creates a deep clone of this object.

Returns
Type Description
LayerSearchSource A clone of the new LayerSearchSource instance.

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter
