A dynamic data layer is a layer created on-the-fly with data stored in a registered workspace. This is data that can be rendered and queried on the fly, but that isn't explicitly exposed as a service sublayer. Depending on the type of data source, these layers are classified as one of the following:

Data source	Description
TableDataSource	A feature class with geometries or table without geometries. When a table data source does not contain geometries, it may be used as one of the sources in a join operation. Feature class tables may be used on their own since they contain a geometry field.
QueryTableDataSource	A feature class or table that may be queried on the fly with a SQL where clause. This data source is useful for scenarios where you have a table containing unique geometries and another table with multiple records that match to each geometry. You can use the QueryTableDataSource to select only a subset of those matching records (so records in both tables have a one-to-one relationship with each other) and join them to the table with geometries.
RasterDataSource	A raster dataset used for visualization purposes only.
JoinTableDataSource	This data source consists of two data sources joined by a common attribute or key. The left table data source typically contains geometries, while the right source may be a table or query table without geometries.

dataSource

autocast Property

Type: JoinTableDataSource | QueryTableDataSource | RasterDataSource | TableDataSource

A table, feature class, or raster that resides in a registered workspace (either a folder or geodatabase). The data sources are not visible in the Services Directory by default. They may be viewed, published, and configured using the ArcGIS Server Manager.

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property

Type: string

Inherited from: Accessor

Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

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

fields

autocast Property

Type: Field[]

Controls field visibility in the layer. Only specified fields will be visible. If null, all fields are visible in the dynamic layer. The specification for a field object is provided below.

type

readonly Property

Type: "data-layer"

This value is always data-layer and is inferred when the dataSource property is set.

fromJSON inherited static	fromJSON(json: any): any	JSONSupportMixin

fromJSON

inheritedstatic Method

Signature: fromJSON (json: any): any

Inherited from: JSONSupportMixin

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.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
json	any	A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns: any
Returns a new instance of this class.

toJSON

inherited Method

Signature: toJSON (): any

Inherited from: JSONSupportMixin

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.

Returns: any
The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
