import MediaLayerView from "@arcgis/core/views/layers/MediaLayerView.js";
Inheritance:
MediaLayerViewLayerViewAccessor
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30

Represents the LayerView of a MediaLayer after it has been added to a Map in either a MapView, Map component, SceneView or Scene component.

Keyboard shortcuts

Various keyboard shortcuts are available when enabling interactive manipulation of media elements in the layer view.

ShortcutAction
ZIncrementally undo actions recorded in the stack. The undo/redo stack is for an individual operation, meaning you can redo/undo actions while updating a single element.
RIncrementally redo actions recorded in the stack. The undo/redo stack is for an individual operation, meaning you can redo/undo actions while updating a single element.
Shift (resize)Enable uniform scaling when resizing an element.
Shift (rotate)Enable rotation with 5 degree increments.
Shift+ArrowMove an element by a single pixel.
Shift+Primary+ArrowMove an element by 10 pixels. The primary key is the Cmd key on macos or Ctrl on other OS.
AltHold to move the source point when dragging a control point in the reshape tool.
TToggle transparency of the element.

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.

interactionOptions

Property
Type
MediaLayerInteractionOptions

Options for when the layer view is interactive.

Interactivity for 2D MapViews was added at version 4.31.

See also

interactive

Property
Type
boolean

Enables interactivity for the layer. When set to true, any elements in the layer's MediaLayer.source become selectable and editable.

Interactivity for 2D MapViews was added at version 4.31.

See also
Default value
false
Example
view.whenLayerView(mediaLayer).then((mediaLayerView) => {
// Enable interactivity and select first element
mediaLayerView.interactive = true;
mediaLayerView.selectedElement = mediaLayer.source.elements.at(0);
});

layer

readonly Property
Type
MediaLayer
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0

The layer being viewed.

selectedElement

Property
Type
MediaElement | null | undefined

The selected element. If interactive is true, any element in the layer can be selected by clicking on it in the view. As long as interactive remains true, the properties of the selected element can be edited by interacting with manipulators in the view.

Interactivity for 2D MapViews was added at version 4.31.

See also
Example
view.whenLayerView(mediaLayer).then((mediaLayerView) => {
// Enable interactivity and select first element
mediaLayerView.interactive = true;
mediaLayerView.selectedElement = mediaLayer.source.elements.at(0);
});

spatialReferenceSupported

readonlyinherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: LayerView

Indicates if the spatialReference of the MapView or Map component is supported by the layer view. When false layer view will be suspended.

Known Limitations

This property is not supported for layer views of a 3D SceneView or Scene component.

See also

suspended

readonlyinherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: LayerView

Value is true if the layer is suspended (i.e., layer will not redraw or update itself when the extent changes).

See also

uid

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: IdentifiableMixin
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.33

An automatically generated unique identifier assigned to the instance. The unique id is generated each time the application is loaded.

updating

readonlyinherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: LayerView

Indicates if the layer view is making any updates that will impact what is displayed on the map. For example, this value is true when renderer, definitionExpression, filter or effect is changed or if the layer view is in the process of the fetching data.

Watch FeatureLayerView.dataUpdating property instead to only know when the data has been updated (e.g. to run statistics query on all feature available in the layer view).

Default value
false
Example
// Check for the first time layerView.updating becomes false. Then query for
// features that are visible within the view associated with the layer view.
await reactiveUtils.whenOnce(() => !layerView.updating);
const query = layerView.createQuery();
query.geometry = layerView.view.extent;
const result = layerView.queryFeatures(query);

view

readonlyinherited Property
Type
MapViewOrSceneView
Inherited from: LayerView

A reference to the MapView or SceneView associated with the layer view.

Example
// Check for the first time layerView.updating becomes false. Then query for
// features that are visible within the view associated with the layer view.
await reactiveUtils.whenOnce(() => !layerView.updating);
const query = layerView.createQuery();
query.geometry = layerView.view.extent;
const result = layerView.queryFeatures(query);

visible

autocast inherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: LayerView

When true, the layer is visible in the view. Value of this property is inherited from the layer.visible unless the developer overrides it. The layerView.visible will take precedence over layer.visible if both properties are set.

Default value
true

visibleAtCurrentScale

readonlyinherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: LayerView

When true, the layer is visible in the view at the current scale. This applies to layers that have minScale and maxScale properties set.

Known Limitations

This property isn’t supported for tiled layers in 3D SceneView or in the Scene component

See also
Default value
true

visibleAtCurrentTimeExtent

readonlyinherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: LayerView

When true, the layer is visible in the view's View.timeExtent. This applies to layers that have a Layer.visibilityTimeExtent.

See also
Default value
true

emit

inherited Method
Signature
emit <Type extends EventNames<this>>(type: Type, event?: this["@eventTypes"][Type]): boolean
Type parameters
<Type extends EventNames<this>>
Inherited from: EventedMixin

Emits an event on the instance. This method should only be used when creating subclasses of this class.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
type
Type

The name of the event.

event
this["@eventTypes"][Type]

The event payload.

Returns
boolean

true if a listener was notified

hasEventListener

inherited Method
Signature
hasEventListener <Type extends EventNames<this>>(type: Type): boolean
Type parameters
<Type extends EventNames<this>>
Inherited from: EventedMixin

Indicates whether there is an event listener on the instance that matches the provided event name.

boolean

Returns true if the class supports the input event.

highlight

Method
Signature
highlight (target: MediaElement | Iterable<MediaElement>, options?: LayerViewHighlightOptions): ResourceHandle

on

inherited Method
Signature
on <Type extends EventNames<this>>(type: Type, listener: EventedCallback<this["@eventTypes"][Type]>): ResourceHandle

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
type
Type

An event or an array of events to listen for.

listener
EventedCallback<this["@eventTypes"][Type]>

The function to call when the event fires.

Returns
ResourceHandle

Returns an event handler with a remove() method that should be called to stop listening for the event(s).

PropertyTypeDescription
removeFunctionWhen called, removes the listener from the event.
Example

when

inherited Method
Signature
when <TResult1 = this, TResult2 = never>(onFulfilled?: OnFulfilledCallback<this, TResult1> | null | undefined, onRejected?: OnRejectedCallback<TResult2> | null | undefined): Promise<TResult1 | TResult2>
Type parameters
<TResult1 = this, TResult2 = never>
Inherited from: EsriPromiseMixin

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
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
onFulfilled

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 onFulfilled that 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 way
let 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
});
