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.

Example
const catalogLayerList = new CatalogLayerList({ catalogLayer, view});
view.ui.add(catalogLayerList, "top-right");Constructors

- Type
- HeadingLevel
Indicates the heading level to use for the heading of the widget.
By default, the heading is rendered as a level 2 heading (e.g., <h2>Catalog Layer List</h2>).
Depending on the widget's placement in your app, you may need to adjust this heading for proper semantics.
This is important for meeting accessibility standards.
- See also
- Default value

A function that executes each time a ListItem is created. Use this function to add actions and panels to list items, and to override the default settings of a list item. Actions can be added to list items using the ListItem.actionsSections.
Example
// Create a new CatalogLayerList with a listItemCreatedFunction// that adds an "add-layer" action to each catalog layer list itemconst catalogLayerList = new CatalogLayerList({ catalogLayer, listItemCreatedFunction: (event) => { const { item } = event; const { layer } = item;
if (isLayerFromCatalog(layer)) { item.actionsSections = [ [ { title: "Add layer to map", icon: "add-layer", id: "add-layer" } ] ]; } }, 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); const footprint = parentCatalogLayer.createFootprintFromLayer(layer); const layerFromFootprint = await parentCatalogLayer.createLayerFromFootprint(footprint); map.add(layerFromFootprint); }}); minFilterItems
- Type
- number

- See also
- Default value
- 10
Example
layerList.visibleElements.filter = true;layerList.minFilterItems = 5; selectedItems
- Type
- Collection<ListItem>
A collection of selected ListItems representing catalogItems selected by the user.

- "multiple" | "none" | "single" | "single-persist"
Specifies the selection mode. Selected items are available in the selectedItems property.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| multiple | Allows any number of items to be selected at once. This is useful when you want to apply an operation to multiple items at the same time. |
| none | Disables selection. Use this when you want to prevent selecting items. |
| single | Allows only one item to be selected at a time. If another item is selected, the previous selection is cleared. This is useful when you want to ensure that a maximum of one item is selected at a time. |
| single-persist | Allows only one item to be selected at a time and prevents de-selection. Once an item is selected, it remains selected until another item is selected. This is useful when you want to ensure that there is always exactly one selected item. |

Example
catalogLayerList.selectionMode = "multiple"; uid
- Type
- string
- 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.
view
- Type
- MapViewOrSceneView | null | undefined
viewModel
The view model for this widget. This is a class that contains all the logic (properties and methods) that controls this widget's behavior. See the CatalogLayerListViewModel class to access all properties and methods on the widget.
visibilityAppearance
- Type
- VisibilityAppearance
Determines the icons used to indicate visibility.
| Value | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| default | Displays view icons on the far side. Icons are hidden except on hover or if they have keyboard focus. See view-visible and view-hide calcite icons. | ![]() |
| checkbox | Displays checkbox icons on the near side. See check-square-f and square calcite icons. | ![]() |
- Default value
- "default"
Example
catalogLayerList.visibilityAppearance = "checkbox"; visible
- Type
- boolean
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 viewwidget.visible = false; visibleElements
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.
- Default value
- null
Example
catalogLayerList.visibleElements = { closeButton: false, collapseButton: true, errors: true, filter: true, heading: true, statusIndicators: true};Methods
