The CatalogLayerList widget provides a way to display and interact with CatalogLayers. The widget displays a list of layers in the CatalogLayer.dynamicGroupLayer and allows you to toggle their visibility.

The ListItem API provides access to each layer's properties, allows the developer to configure actions related to the layer, and allows the developer to add content to the item related to the layer.

container

autocast inherited Property
Type
HTMLElement | null | undefined
Inherited from: Widget

The ID or node representing the DOM element containing the widget. This property can only be set once. The following examples are all valid use case when working with widgets.

Examples
// Create the HTML div element programmatically at runtime and set to the widget's container
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view,
container: document.createElement("div")
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {

});
// Specify an already-defined HTML div element in the widget's container
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view,
container: basemapGalleryDiv
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
position: "top-right"
});
// HTML markup
<body>
<div id="viewDiv"></div>
<div id="basemapGalleryDiv"></div>
</body>
// Specify the widget while adding to the view's UI
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {

listItemCreatedFunction

Property
Type
ListItemModifier | null | undefined

Example
// Create a new CatalogLayerList with a listItemCreatedFunction
// that adds an "add-layer" action to each catalog layer list item
const catalogLayerList = new CatalogLayerList({
catalogLayer,
listItemCreatedFunction: (event) => {
const { item } = event;
const { layer } = item;
if (isLayerFromCatalog(layer)) {
item.actionsSections = [
[

}
},
view
});
// Listen for the trigger-action event on the CatalogLayerListViewModel
// and add layers from the catalog to the map when the "add-layer" action is triggered.
// To correctly add a layer to the map, you must create a footprint from the layer
// and then create a new layer from the footprint.
catalogLayerList.on("trigger-action", async (event) => {
const { id } = event.action;
const { layer } = event.item;
if (id === "add-layer") {
const parentCatalogLayer = catalogUtils.getCatalogLayerForLayer(layer);

Default value
"default"
Example
catalogLayerList.visibilityAppearance = "checkbox";

visible

inherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: Widget

Indicates whether the widget is visible.

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".

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

visibleElements

autocast Property
Type
CatalogLayerListVisibleElements

The visible elements that are displayed within the widget. This property provides the ability to turn individual elements of the widget's display on/off.

closeButton: false,
collapseButton: true,
errors: true,
filter: true,
heading: true,
