Properties

Any properties can be set, retrieved or listened to. See the Watch for changes topic.

average

Property
Type
number | null | undefined

The statistical average of the data in the histogram. You would typically get this value from the avg property of SummaryStatisticsResult, which is the result of the summaryStatistics function.

Examples
// sets result returned from a smart mapping method
// to the histogram
histogramSliderVM.average = response.statistics.avg;
histogramSliderVM.average = 34.5;

bins

Property
Type
HistogramBin[] | null | undefined

An array of objects representing each bin in the histogram. This information is typically returned from the histogram function.

Examples
// sets the bins of the histogram from the bins in the histogram() result
histogramVM.bins = histogramResult.bins;
// Creates a histogram with 7 bins.
histogramVM.bins = [
{ minValue: 0, maxValue: 10, count: 4 },
{ minValue: 10.1, maxValue: 20, count: 14 },
{ minValue: 20.1, maxValue: 30, count: 9 },
{ minValue: 30.1, maxValue: 40, count: 34 },
{ minValue: 40.1, maxValue: 50, count: 351 },
{ minValue: 50.1, maxValue: 60, count: 100 },
{ minValue: 60.1, maxValue: 70, count: 1 }
];

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: Accessor

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

effectiveMax

inherited Property
Type
number | null | undefined
Inherited from: SliderViewModel
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23

When set, the user is restricted from moving slider thumbs to positions higher than this value. This value should be less than the slider max. The effectiveMax and effectiveMin allow you to represent ranges of values in a dataset that cannot be filtered or selected with the slider. This can be useful when using the slider to represent datasets with outliers, or scale ranges not suitable for a layer.

Example
// slider.viewModel.max = 100
slider.viewModel.effectiveMax = 60;
// now the user cannot slide thumbs above
// 60 even though the slider track displays
// values up to 100.

effectiveMin

inherited Property
Type
number | null | undefined
Inherited from: SliderViewModel
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23

When set, the user is restricted from moving slider thumbs to positions less than this value. This value should be greater than the slider min. The effectiveMin and effectiveMax allow you to represent ranges of values in a dataset that cannot be filtered or selected with the slider. This can be useful when using the slider to represent datasets with outliers, or scale ranges not suitable for a layer.

Example
// slider.viewModel.min = 0
slider.viewModel.effectiveMin = 4;
// now the user cannot slide thumbs below
// 4 even though the slider track displays
// values down to 0.

inputFormatFunction

inherited Property
Type
InputFormatFunction | null | undefined
Inherited from: SliderViewModel

A function used to format user inputs. As opposed to labelFormatFunction, which formats thumb labels, the inputFormatFunction formats thumb values in the input element when the user begins to edit them.

The image below demonstrates how slider input values resemble corresponding slider values by default and won't match the formatting set in labelFormatFunction.

Slider without input formatter

If you want to format slider input values so they match thumb labels, you can pass the same function set in labelFormatFunction to inputFormatFunction for consistent formatting.

Slider with input formatter

However, if an inputFormatFunction is specified, you must also write a corresponding inputParseFunction to parse user inputs to understandable slider values. In most cases, if you specify an inputFormatFunction, you should set the labelFormatFunction to the same value for consistency between labels and inputs.

This property overrides the default input formatter, which formats by calling toString() on the input value.

See also
Example
// Formats the slider input to abbreviated numbers with units
// e.g. a thumb at position 1500 will render with an input label of 1.5k
slider.inputFormatFunction = function(value, type){
if(value >= 1000000){
return (value / 1000000).toPrecision(3) + "m"
}
if(value >= 100000){
return (value / 1000).toPrecision(3) + "k"
}
if(value >= 1000){
return (value / 1000).toPrecision(2) + "k"
}
return value.toFixed(0);
}

inputParseFunction

inherited Property
Type
InputParseFunction | null | undefined
Inherited from: SliderViewModel

Function used to parse slider inputs formatted by the inputFormatFunction. This property must be set if an inputFormatFunction is set. Otherwise the slider values will likely not update to their expected positions.

Overrides the default input parses, which is a parsed floating point number.

See also
Example
// Parses the slider input (a string value) to a number value understandable to the slider
// This assumes the slider was already configured with an inputFormatFunction
// For example, if the input is 1.5k this function will parse
// it to a value of 1500
slider.inputParseFunction = function(value, type, index){
let charLength = value.length;
let valuePrefix = parseFloat(value.substring(0,charLength-1));
let finalChar = value.substring(charLength-1);
if(parseFloat(finalChar) >= 0){
return parseFloat(value);
}
if(finalChar === "k"){
return valuePrefix * 1000;
}
if(finalChar === "m"){
return valuePrefix * 1000000;
}
return value;
}

labelFormatFunction

Property
Type
LabelFormatFunction

A modified version of SliderViewModel.labelFormatFunction, which is a custom function used to format labels. Overrides the default label formatter.

Example
// For thumb values, rounds each label to whole numbers.
// Note the actual value of the thumb continues to be stored
// based on the indicated data `precision` despite this formatting
sliderViewModel.labelFormatFunction = function(value, type) {
return (type === "value") ? value.toFixed(0) : value;
}

labels

readonlyinherited Property
Type
LabelInfos
Inherited from: SliderViewModel

An array of strings associated with values generated using an internal label formatter or the values returned from labelFormatFunction.

max

inherited Property
Type
number | null | undefined
Inherited from: SliderViewModel

The maximum possible data/thumb value of the slider. In the constructor, if one of the values specified in values is greater than the max value specified in this property, then the max will update to the highest value in values.

Example
sliderViewModel.max = 100;

min

inherited Property
Type
number | null | undefined
Inherited from: SliderViewModel

The minimum possible data/thumb value of the slider. In the constructor, if one of the values specified in values is less than the min value specified in this property, then the min will update to the lowest value in values.

Example
sliderViewModel.min = 0;

precision

inherited Property
Type
number
Inherited from: SliderViewModel

Defines how slider values should be rounded. This number indicates the number of decimal places slider values should round to when they have been moved.

This value also indicates the precision of thumb labels when the data range (max - min) is less than 10.

When the data range is larger than 10, labels display with a precision of no more than two decimal places, though actual slider thumb values will maintain the precision specified in this property.

For example, given the default precision of 4, and the following slider configuration, The label of the thumb will display two decimal places, but the precision of the actual thumb value will not be lost even when the user slides or moves the thumb.

const slider = new SliderVM({
min: 20,
max: 100, // data range of 80
values: [50.4331],
// thumb label will display 50.43
// thumb value will maintain precision, so
// value will remain at 50.4331
});

If the user manually enters a value that has a higher precision than what's indicated by this property, the precision of that thumb value will be maintained until the thumb is moved by the user. At that point, the value will be rounded according to the indicated precision.

If thumb labels aren't visible, they must be enabled with Slider.labelInputsEnabled.

Keep in mind this property rounds thumb values and shouldn't be used exclusively for formatting purposes. To format thumb labels, use the labelFormatFunction property.

Default value
4
Example
sliderViewModel.precision = 7;

rangeType

Property
Type
RangeType

Determines the SQL where clause generated in generateWhereClause() for filtering purposes. The value set here determines the number of values allowed on the slider.

See the table below for a description and requirements of all possible values. value1 refers to the value of the first thumb position. value2 refers to the value of the final thumb position, if applicable.

Possible ValueNumber of valuesWhere clause
equal1${field} = ${value1}
not-equal1${field} <> ${value1}
less-than1${field} < ${value1}
greater-than1${field} > ${value1}
at-most1${field} <= ${value1}
at-least1${field} >= ${value1}
between2${field} BETWEEN ${value1} AND ${value2}
not-between2${field} NOT BETWEEN ${value1} AND ${value2}

Default value
"equal"
Example
// renders the histogram so that all bins between
// the two handles are shaded with a blue color
slider.viewModel.rangeType = "between";
// filters the layer view based on the configuration
// of the slider
layerView.filter = {
where: slider.viewModel.generateWhereClause("POPULATION")
};
// if slider min is 1,000 and max is 10,000, the following is generated
// layerView.filter.where = 'POPULATION >= 1000 AND POPULATION <= 10000'

standardDeviation

Property
Type
number | null | undefined

Indicates the standard deviation of the dataset above and below the average.

Example
// stddev returned from summaryStatistics
slider.viewModel.standardDeviation = stats.stddev;

state

readonlyinherited Property
Type
SliderViewModelState
Inherited from: SliderViewModel

The state of the view model.

thumbsConstrained

inherited Property
Type
boolean
Inherited from: SliderViewModel

When false, the user can freely move any slider thumb to any position along the track. By default, a thumb's position is constrained to the positions of neighboring thumbs so you cannot move one thumb past another. Set this property to false to disable this constraining behavior.

Default value
true
Example
// allows the user to freely move slider
// thumbs to any position along the track
slider.viewModel.thumbsConstrained = false;

values

inherited Property
Type
number[] | null | undefined
Inherited from: SliderViewModel

An array of numbers representing absolute thumb positions on the slider.

See also
Example
const slider = new SliderVM({
min: 20,
max: 100, // data range of 80
values: [50.4331],
// thumb label will display 50.43
// thumb value will maintain precision, so
// value will remain at 50.4331
});
