This class uses different events to generate a set of vertices to create a new Polyline geometry using Draw. When draw.create("polyline") is called, a reference to this class is returned. You can listen to events on the PolylineDrawAction instance, which allows users to create polylines that meet criteria specified by the developer.
Example
function enableCreatePolyline(draw, view) { let action = draw.create("polyline");
// listen to PolylineDrawAction.vertex-add // Fires when the user clicks, or presses the "F" key // Can also fire when the "R" key is pressed to redo. action.on("vertex-add", function (evt) { createPolylineGraphic(evt.vertices); });
// listen to PolylineDrawAction.vertex-remove // Fires when the "Z" key is pressed to undo the // last added vertex action.on("vertex-remove", function (evt) { createPolylineGraphic(evt.vertices); });
// listen to PolylineDrawAction.cursor-update // fires when the pointer moves over the view action.on("cursor-update", function (evt) { createPolylineGraphic(evt.vertices); });
// listen to PolylineDrawAction.draw-complete // event to create a graphic when user double-clicks // on the view or presses the "Enter" key action.on("draw-complete", function (evt) { createPolylineGraphic(evt.vertices); });}
function createPolylineGraphic(vertices){ view.graphics.removeAll(); let polyline = { type: "polyline", // autocasts as Polyline paths: vertices, spatialReference: view.spatialReference };
let graphic = new Graphic({ geometry: polyline, symbol: { type: "simple-line", // autocasts as SimpleLineSymbol color: [4, 90, 141], width: 3, cap: "round", join: "round" } }); view.graphic.add(graphic);}Constructors

| type | Type | The name of the event. | |
- Returns
- boolean
Returns true if the class supports the input event.
isFulfilled
- Signature
-
isFulfilled (): boolean
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
- boolean
Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected).
isRejected

If it is rejected, true will be returned.
- Returns
- boolean
Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been rejected.

when() may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: an onFulfilled function and an onRejected function.
The onFulfilled executes when the instance of the class loads. The
onRejected executes if the instance of the class fails to load.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| onFulfilled | OnFulfilledCallback<this, TResult1> | null | undefined | The function to call when the promise resolves. | |
| onRejected | The function to execute when the promise fails. | |
- Returns
- Promise<TResult1 | TResult2>
Returns a new promise for the result of
onFulfilledthat may be used to chain additional functions.
Example
// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same waylet view = new MapView();view.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});Events
