Properties

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

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: Accessor

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

expression

Property
Type
string | null | undefined

A standardized SQL expression used to calculate the bins, rather than referencing a field. The specified SQL expression must evaluate to a numeric or date type. Both field and the expression cannot be specified for the same bin. The expressionValueType property must be set to the expected data type of the output from the expression.

Example
const binQuery = new AttributeBinsQuery({
binParameters: new AutoIntervalBinParameters({
numBins: 5, // the interval size for each bin
// sql expression to calculate the bins based on the product of Quantity and SalesAmount
expression: "Quantity * SalesAmount"
expressionValueType: "double"
})
});

expressionValueType

Property
Type
BinParameterFieldType | null | undefined

Specifies the expected data type of the output from the expression, based on the type of value the expression generates. The expression property must be set when this property is set.

Example
const binQuery = new AttributeBinsQuery({
binParameters: new AutoIntervalBinParameters({
numBins: 5, // the interval size for each bin
// sql expression to calculate the bins based on the product of Quantity and SalesAmount
expression: "Quantity * SalesAmount"
expressionValueType: "double"
})
});

field

Property
Type
string | null | undefined

The field name used to calculate the bins. The expression property cannot be set when this property is set.

firstDayOfWeek

Property
Type
number | null | undefined

The first day of the week. This property is used to determine the start of the week for date-based bins. The default value is 7, representing Sunday, if no value is specified.

hideUpperBound

Property
Type
boolean | null | undefined

If true, the upperBoundary and bin fields will not be included in the attributes.

splitBy

autocast Property
Type
AttributeBinsGrouping | null | undefined

The splitBy parameter divides data into separate bins for each unique value in the categorical field. Each category will have different bin boundaries based on the data distribution within that category. For example, when analyzing sales by region (e.g., Central, Northeast, etc.), splitBy will create separate bin ranges for each region, allowing the boundaries to adjust to the specific data distribution of each region. The splitBy parameter is useful when the distribution of values within each category (e.g., branch or region) differs significantly, and you want each category’s binning to reflect its unique data range.

Field with many unique values are not appropriate for splitting bins into multiple series.

Example
// create bins based on the SalesTotal field, split by the Branch field.
const binQuery = new AttributeBinsQuery({
binParameters: new AutoIntervalBinParameters({
numBins: 5, // the interval size for each bin
field: "SalesTotal",
splitBy: { // autocasts to AttributeBinsGrouping
type: "field",
value: "Branch"
}
})
});
const result = await layer.queryAttributeBins(binQuery);

stackBy

autocast Property
Type
AttributeBinsGrouping | null | undefined

The stackBy parameter divides each bin into segments based on unique values from a categorical field, allowing you to compare multiple categories within the same bin while keeping the bin boundaries consistent across all categories. This enables you to visualize or analyze the distribution of categories stacked together within the same range of values. For example, with 3 bins based on total sales with ranges like $0 to $5000, $5001 to $10,000, and $10,001 to $15,000, setting stackBy = SalesRep will stack each sales rep's contribution within the same bin range. The bin boundaries remain the same, and each segment within the bin shows how individual categories contribute to the total frequency or value.

Field with many unique values are not appropriate for splitting bins into multiple series.

Example
// create bins based on the SalesTotal field, stacked by the Month field.
const binQuery = new AttributeBinsQuery({
binParameters: new AutoIntervalBinParameters({
numBins: 5, // the interval size for each bin
field: "SalesTotal",
stackBy: {
value: "EXTRACT(MONTH from invoiceDate)",
type: "expression",
valueType: "double",
alias: "Month"
}
})
});
const result = await layer.queryAttributeBins(binQuery);

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.

clone

inherited Method
Signature
clone (): this
Inherited from: ClonableMixin

Creates a deep clone of this object. Any properties that store values by reference will be assigned copies of the referenced values on the cloned instance.

Returns
this

A deep clone of the class instance that invoked this method.

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.

Type definitions

BinParameterFieldType
