Property Details

apiKey String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.19

An authorization string used to access a resource or service. API keys are generated and managed in the ArcGIS Developer dashboard. An API key is tied explicitly to an ArcGIS account; it is also used to monitor service usage. Setting a fine-grained API key on a specific class overrides the global API key.

Example
const searchWidget = new Search({
  view: view,
  includeDefaultSources: false,
  sources: [{
    name: "apiKey locator",
    placeholder: "APIs are Key",
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    url: "https://geocode-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer"
  }]
});
autoNavigate Boolean inherited

Indicates whether to automatically navigate to the selected result once selected.

Default Value:true
categories String[]

A string array which limits the results to one or more categories. For example, Populated Place or airport. Only applicable when using the World Geocode Service.

See also
countryCode String

Constricts search results to a specified country code. For example, US for United States or SE for Sweden. Only applies to the World Geocode Service.

See also
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.

defaultZoomScale Number
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.13

Sets the scale of the MapView or SceneView for the resulting search result, if the locator service doesn’t return an extent with a scale. An example of this is using the Use current location option in the Search bar.

If you want to override the scale returned by the locator service, use zoomScale instead.

Default Value:null
Example
// create the Search widget
let searchWidget = new Search({
  view: view
});

// wait for the widget to be ready to set the defaultZoomScale
searchWidget.watch("viewModel.state", function(state) {
  if (state === "ready") {
    let firstSource = searchWidget.allSources.at(0);
    if (firstSource) {
      firstSource.defaultZoomScale = 100000;
    }
  }
});
filter Object
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.4

This property replaces the now deprecated searchQueryParams, suggestQueryParams, and searchExtent properties. Setting a value here takes precedence over withinViewEnabled. Please see the object specification table below for details.

Property
geometry Geometry
optional

The filter geometry for suggests or search results. Extent is the only supported geometry when working with locator sources. See Find Address Candidates for additional information.

See also
Example
const theExtent = new Extent({
  xmin: 11376463,
  ymin: -5163501,
  xmax: 18890529,
  ymax: -662888,
  spatialReference: {
    wkid: 3857
  }
});

const searchExtent = {
  geometry: theExtent
};

const sources = [{
  url: "https://geocode-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer",
  placeholder: "Darwin",
  maxResults: 3,
  filter: searchExtent
}];

const searchWidget = new Search({
  view: view,
  sources: sources
});

Function used to get search results. See GetResultsHandler for the function definition. When resolved, returns an object containing an array of search results.

Default Value:null
See also

Function used to get search suggestions. See GetSuggestionsParameters for the function definition. When resolved, returns an object containing an array of suggest results.

Default Value:null

localSearchDisabled Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.22

This property controls prioritization of Search widget result candidates depending on the view scale.

When this property is false (the default value), the location parameter is included in the request when the scale of the MapView or SceneView is less than or equal to 300,000. This prioritizes result candidates based on their distance from a specified point (the center of the view).

When this property is true, the location parameter is never included in the request, no matter the scale of the MapView or SceneView.

Default Value:false
Example
const searchWidget = new Search({
  view: view,
  includeDefaultSources: false,
  sources: [
    {
      name: "ArcGIS World Geocoding Service",
      placeholder: "example: Campton, NH",
      apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
      singleLineFieldName: "SingleLine",
      url: "https://geocode-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer",
      localSearchDisabled: true
    }
  ]
});
locationType String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.12

Defines the type of location, either street or rooftop, of the point returned from the World Geocoding Service.

Possible Values:"rooftop"|"street"

Example
// create the Search widget
let searchWidget = new Search({
  view: view
});

// wait for the widget to be ready to set the locationType
searchWidget.watch("viewModel.state", function(state) {
  if (state === "ready") {
    let firstSource = searchWidget.allSources.at(0);
    if (firstSource) {
      firstSource.locationType = "rooftop";
    }
  }
});
maxResults Number inherited

Indicates the maximum number of search results to return.

Default Value:6

Indicates the maximum number of suggestions to return for the widget's input.

Default Value:6

Specifies the fields returned with the search results.

placeholder String

Used as a hint for the source input text.

popupEnabled Boolean inherited

Indicates whether to display a Popup when a selected result is clicked.

popupTemplate PopupTemplate inherited

The popup template used to display search results. If no popup is needed, set the source's popupTemplate to null.

const sources = [{
  url: "https://geocode-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer"
}];

const searchWidget = new Search({
  view: view,
  sources: sources  // autocasts as new LocatorSearchSource()
});
