Weather | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31

The Weather widget provides an interface for easily selecting and configuring the weather effects in a SceneView. For this, the widget modifies the weather property of SceneView.environment. The different weather types are: sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, and foggy.

Example

const widget = new Weather({ view: view });

// Adds the weather widget in the top right corner of the view
view.ui.add(widget, "top-right");

Property Details

container Inherited Property container String |HTMLElement Inherited from Widget

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.

headingLevel Property headingLevel Number

Indicates the heading level to use for the title of the widget. By default, this message is rendered as level 4 headings (e.g. <h4>Time range</h4>). Depending on the widget's placement in your app, you may need to adjust this heading for proper semantics. This is important for meeting accessibility standards.

Default Value:4

Heading Elements

Example

widget.headingLevel = 4;

icon Property icon String Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27 Weather since 4.23, icon added at 4.27.

Icon which represents the widget. It is typically used when the widget is controlled by another one (e.g. in the Expand widget).

Default Value:"partly-cloudy"

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.

view Property view SceneView

A reference to the View. This widget is only supported in a SceneView.

viewModel Property viewModel WeatherViewModelautocast

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 WeatherViewModel 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

This property provides the ability to display or hide the individual elements of the widget.

Example

weather.visibleElements = {
   header: true
}

Method Details

addHandles Inherited Method addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey) Inherited from Accessor Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 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.

classes Inherited Method classes(classNames){String} Inherited from Widget

A utility method used for building the value for a widget's class property. This aids in simplifying css class setup.

Type	Description
String	The computed class name.

Example

// .tsx syntax showing how to set css classes while rendering the widget

render() {

    [css.primary]: this.primary
  };

  return (
    <div class={classes(css.root, css.mixin, dynamicClasses)} />
  );
}
