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 String|HTMLElement inherited

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 cases 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 Stringreadonly inherited

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

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

See also:

Heading Elements

Example:

widget.headingLevel = 4;

iconClass String

The widget's default CSS icon class.

id String inherited

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 String

The widget's default label.

view SceneView

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

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 Boolean inherited

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 VisibleElements

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

Example:

weather.visibleElements = {
   header: true
}

Method Details

classes(classNames){String}inherited

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

Parameter:

classNames String|String []|Object

repeatable

The class names.

Returns:

Type	Description
String	The computed class name.

See also:

Guide - Widget development (rendering)

Example:

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

render() {
  const dynamicIconClasses = {
    [CSS.myIcon]: this.showIcon,
    [CSS.greyIcon]: !this.showIcon
  };

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

destroy()inherited

Destroys the widget instance.

emit(type, event){Boolean}inherited

Emits an event on the instance. This method should only be used when creating subclasses of this class.

Parameters:

type String

The name of the event.

event Object

optional

The event payload.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	`true` if a listener was notified

get()inner

When the widget has a fatal error (i.e. it can't work at all), no weather configuration UI is shown. Instead, the error message is shown.

get()inner

When the widget has a non-fatal error, we display the UI but show a warning at the bottom.

hasEventListener(type){Boolean}inherited

Indicates whether there is an event listener on the instance that matches the provided event name.

Parameter:

type String

The name of the event.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns true if the class supports the input event.

isFulfilled(){Boolean}inherited

isFulfilled() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is fulfilled (either resolved or rejected). If it is fulfilled, true will be returned.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected).

isRejected(){Boolean}inherited

isRejected() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is rejected. If it is rejected, true will be returned.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been rejected.

isResolved(){Boolean}inherited

isResolved() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is resolved. If it is resolved, true will be returned.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved.

on(type, listener){Object}inherited

Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.

Parameters:

type String|String []

An event or an array of events to listen for.

listener Function

The function to call when the event fires.

Returns:

Type Description

Object

Returns an event handler with a remove() method that should be called to stop listening for the event(s).

Property	Type	Description
remove	Function	When called, removes the listener from the event.

Example:

view.on("click", function(event){
  // event is the event handle returned after the event fires.
  console.log(event.mapPoint);
});

own(handleOrHandles)inherited Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.24

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.whenOnce(() => !view.updating)
  .then(() => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;
});

handle.remove();

// Assign a handle using own()
this.own(reactiveUtils.whenOnce(() => !view.updating)
  .then(() => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;
  }));

Parameter:

handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle []

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

postInitialize()inherited

This method is primarily used by developers when implementing custom widgets. Executes after widget is ready for rendering.

render(){Object}inherited

This method is primarily used by developers when implementing custom widgets. It must be implemented by subclasses for rendering.

Returns:

Type	Description
Object	The rendered virtual node.

renderNow()inherited

Renders widget to the DOM immediately.

scheduleRender()inherited

This method is primarily used by developers when implementing custom widgets. Schedules widget rendering. This method is useful for changes affecting the UI.

when(callback, errback){Promise}inherited

when() may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: a callback function and an errback function. The callback executes when the instance of the class loads. The errback executes if the instance of the class fails to load.

Parameters:

The function to call when the promise resolves.

errback Function

optional

The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	Returns a new promise for the result of `callback` that may be used to chain additional functions.

Example:

// Although this example uses the BasemapGallery widget, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way
let bmGallery = new BasemapGallery();
bmGallery.when(function(){
  // This function will execute once the promise is resolved
}, function(error){
  // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error
});

Type Definitions

VisibleElements

The visible elements that are displayed within the widget. This provides the ability to turn individual elements of the widget's display on/off.

Property:

header Boolean

optional

Default Value:true

When set to false, the header is not displayed.
