Inheritance:
BookmarksWidgetAccessor
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.8

The Bookmarks widget allows end users to quickly navigate to a particular area of interest. It displays a list of bookmarks, which are typically defined inside the WebMap.bookmarks.

bookmarks

Each bookmark may contain the following properties: name, thumbnail, viewpoint (defines rotation, scale, and target geometry), and timeExtent. If the timeExtent is defined on a bookmark, it will be displayed in the bookmark widget as shown in the following image.

bookmarks-time

When a bookmark with a timeExtent is selected, the MapView.timeExtent of the View will be set to the timeExtent of the selected bookmark. To disable time capability in the Bookmarks widget, set capabilities.time in the BookmarksViewModel to false.

view

Property
Type
MapViewOrSceneView | null | undefined

visible

inherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: Widget

If false, the widget will no longer be rendered in the web document. This may affect the layout of other elements or widgets in the document. For example, if this widget is the first of three widgets associated to the upper right hand corner of the DefaultUI, then the other widgets will reposition when this widget is made invisible. For more information, refer to the css display value of "none".

true
Example
// Hides the widget in the view
widget.visible = false;
