ClassedColorSliderViewModel

Property Overview

Property Details

breaks Object[]

An array of class breaks with associated colors. The colors mapped to each break can be used to update the renderer of a layer. A minimum of two breaks must be provided to the slider.

Properties

color Color Features with values within the provided min and max will be rendered with this color.

max Number The max value of the break. The max of each break should match the min value of the break directly above it.

min Number The min value of the break. The min of each break should match the max value of the break directly below it.

Example

slider.breaks = [{
  min: 0,
  max: 20,
  color: [ 0, 0, 30 ]
}, {
  min: 20,
  max: 40,
  color: [ 0, 0, 100 ]
}, {
  min: 40,
  max: 60,
  color: [ 0, 0, 180 ]
}, {
  min: 60,
  max: 80,
  color: [ 0, 0, 255 ]
}];

declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

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

effectiveMax Number inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23

When set, the user is restricted from moving slider thumbs to positions higher than this value. This value should be less than the slider max. The effectiveMax and effectiveMin allow you to represent ranges of values in a dataset that cannot be filtered or selected with the slider. This can be useful when using the slider to represent datasets with outliers, or scale ranges not suitable for a layer.

Example

// slider.viewModel.max = 100
slider.viewModel.effectiveMax = 60;
// now the user cannot slide thumbs above
// 60 even though the slider track displays
// values up to 100.

effectiveMin Number inherited

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23

When set, the user is restricted from moving slider thumbs to positions less than this value. This value should be greater than the slider min. The effectiveMin and effectiveMax allow you to represent ranges of values in a dataset that cannot be filtered or selected with the slider. This can be useful when using the slider to represent datasets with outliers, or scale ranges not suitable for a layer.

Example

// slider.viewModel.min = 0
slider.viewModel.effectiveMin = 4;
// now the user cannot slide thumbs below
// 4 even though the slider track displays
// values down to 0.

inputFormatFunction LabelFormatter inherited

A function used to format user inputs. As opposed to labelFormatFunction, which formats thumb labels, the inputFormatFunction formats thumb values in the input element when the user begins to edit them.

The image below demonstrates how slider input values resemble corresponding slider values by default and won't match the formatting set in labelFormatFunction.

If you want to format slider input values so they match thumb labels, you can pass the same function set in labelFormatFunction to inputFormatFunction for consistent formatting.

However, if an inputFormatFunction is specified, you must also write a corresponding inputParseFunction to parse user inputs to understandable slider values. In most cases, if you specify an inputFormatFunction, you should set the labelFormatFunction to the same value for consistency between labels and inputs.

This property overrides the default input formatter, which formats by calling toString() on the input value.

• inputParseFunction

Example

// Formats the slider input to abbreviated numbers with units
// e.g. a thumb at position 1500 will render with an input label of 1.5k
slider.inputFormatFunction = function(value, type){
  if(value >= 1000000){
    return (value / 1000000).toPrecision(3) + "m"
  }
  if(value >= 100000){
    return (value / 1000).toPrecision(3) + "k"
  }
  if(value >= 1000){
    return (value / 1000).toPrecision(2) + "k"
  }
  return value.toFixed(0);
}

inputParseFunction InputParser inherited

Function used to parse slider inputs formatted by the inputFormatFunction. This property must be set if an inputFormatFunction is set. Otherwise the slider values will likely not update to their expected positions.

Overrides the default input parses, which is a parsed floating point number.

See also

• inputFormatFunction

Example

// Parses the slider input (a string value) to a number value understandable to the slider
// This assumes the slider was already configured with an inputFormatFunction
// For example, if the input is 1.5k this function will parse
// it to a value of 1500
slider.inputParseFunction = function(value, type, index){
  let charLength = value.length;
  let valuePrefix = parseFloat(value.substring(0,charLength-1));
  let finalChar = value.substring(charLength-1);

  if(parseFloat(finalChar) >= 0){
    return parseFloat(value);
  }
  if(finalChar === "k"){
    return valuePrefix * 1000;
  }
  if(finalChar === "m"){
    return valuePrefix * 1000000;
  }
  return value;
}

labelFormatFunction LabelFormatter inherited

A function used to format labels. Overrides the default label formatter.

By default labels are formatted in the following way:

• When the data range is less than 10 ((max - min) < 10), labels are rounded based on the value set in the precision property.
• When the data range is larger than 10, labels display with a precision of no more than two decimal places, though actual slider thumb values will maintain the precision specified in precision.

Use this property to override the behavior defined above.

Example

// For thumb values, rounds each label to whole numbers.
// Note the actual value of the thumb continues to be stored
// based on the indicated data `precision` despite this formatting
sliderViewModel.labelFormatFunction = function(value, type) {
  return (type === "value") ? value.toFixed(0) : value;
}

labels String[]readonly inherited

An array of strings associated with values generated using an internal label formatter or the values returned from labelFormatFunction.

max Number inherited

The maximum possible data/thumb value of the slider. In the constructor, if one of the values specified in values is greater than the max value specified in this property, then the max will update to the highest value in values.

Example

sliderViewModel.max = 100;

min Number inherited

The minimum possible data/thumb value of the slider. In the constructor, if one of the values specified in values is less than the min value specified in this property, then the min will update to the lowest value in values.

Example

sliderViewModel.min = 0;

precision Number inherited

Defines how slider values should be rounded. This number indicates the number of decimal places slider values should round to when they have been moved.

This value also indicates the precision of thumb labels when the data range (max - min) is less than 10.

When the data range is larger than 10, labels display with a precision of no more than two decimal places, though actual slider thumb values will maintain the precision specified in this property.

For example, given the default precision of 4, and the following slider configuration, The label of the thumb will display two decimal places, but the precision of the actual thumb value will not be lost even when the user slides or moves the thumb.

const slider = new SliderVM({
  min: 20,
  max: 100,  // data range of 80
  values: [50.4331],
  // thumb label will display 50.43
  // thumb value will maintain precision, so
  // value will remain at 50.4331
});

If the user manually enters a value that has a higher precision than what's indicated by this property, the precision of that thumb value will be maintained until the thumb is moved by the user. At that point, the value will be rounded according to the indicated precision.

If thumb labels aren't visible, they must be enabled with labelInputsEnabled.

Keep in mind this property rounds thumb values and shouldn't be used exclusively for formatting purposes. To format thumb labels, use the labelFormatFunction property.

Default Value:4

Example

sliderViewModel.precision = 7;

state Stringreadonly inherited

The state of the view model.

Possible Values:"ready"|"disabled"

thumbsConstrained Boolean inherited

When false, the user can freely move any slider thumb to any position along the track. By default, a thumb's position is constrained to the positions of neighboring thumbs so you cannot move one thumb past another. Set this property to false to disable this constraining behavior.

Default Value:true

Example

// allows the user to freely move slider
// thumbs to any position along the track
slider.viewModel.thumbsConstrained = false;

values Number[]readonly inherited

The data values associated with the thumb locations of the slider. These are computed from the stops. Actual thumb locations depend on the number of stops provided.
