The network element is a representation of how the network topology defines its graph. The network topology (or index) work with network elements and thats how the trace traverses those elements. This class contains basic properties as seen in the network topology. For performance reasons, many utility network functions return network elements and not "full" features. One feature can have many network elements.

An example is a tri-state transformer with 3 terminals with High side (H) and two Low sides (X1, X2). The feature globalId could be g but it is composed of three network elements, g-H, g-X1 and g-X2.

H
/ \
X1 X2

It is worth mentioning that elements in the network topology also have an elementId which is purely internal to the network and not exposed externally. Those elementIds are then converted to matching objectId/globalId`.

Properties

Any properties can be set, retrieved or listened to. See the Watch for changes topic.

assetGroupCode

Property
Type
number

The asset group code that this network element represents.

assetTypeCode

Property
Type
number

The asset type code discriminator this network element represents.

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: Accessor

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

globalId

Property
Type
string

The globalId of the feature the network element belongs to.

networkSourceId

Property
Type
number

The network source Id of the feature the network element belongs to. Note that this is different from Network.layerId and you need to use Network.getLayerIdBySourceId() to get the layerId.

objectId

Property
Type
number

The objectId of the feature the network element belongs to.

positionFrom

Property
Type
number

Applicable to edge elements, represents a double value (0 to 1) where this edge element starts.

Example
Line feature with objectId 100 with 2 midspan junctions (j1,j2). The line feature has 3 edge network elements
F-j1, j1-j2 and j2-T.
OID=100
F------j1------j2------T
F-j1 (objectId=100, positionFrom=0, positionTo=0.33)
j1-j2 (objectId=100, positionFrom=0.33, positionTo=0.66)
j2-T (objectId=100, positionFrom=0.66, positionTo=1)

positionTo

Property
Type
number | null | undefined

Applicable to edge elements, represents a double value (0 to 1) where this edge element ends.

Example
Line feature with objectId 100 with 2 midspan junctions (j1,j2). The line feature has 3 edge network elements
F-j1, j1-j2 and j2-T.
OID=100
F------j1------j2------T
F-j1 (objectId=100, positionFrom=0, positionTo=0.33)
j1-j2 (objectId=100, positionFrom=0.33, positionTo=0.66)
j2-T (objectId=100, positionFrom=0.66, positionTo=1)

terminalId

Property
Type
number | null | undefined

The terminal id defined at the network element. The telecom domain network does not use terminals, so TelecomNetworkElement always has a null terminalId.

type

readonly Property
Type
"networkElement" | "telecomNetworkElement"

The type of the network element. This is always networkElement unless the object is a TelecomNetworkElement in a telecom domain network.

Type telecomNetworkElement is reserved for telecom domain networks.

Default value
"networkElement"

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
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
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.
