let homeWidget = new Home({
viewModel: { // autocasts as new HomeViewModel()
view: view
}
}, "homediv"); // References the DOM node used to place the widget

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

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: Accessor
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

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

goToOverride

inherited Property
Type
GoToOverride | null | undefined
Inherited from: GoTo
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.8

This function provides the ability to override either the MapView goTo() or SceneView goTo() methods.

Example
// The following snippet uses Search but can be applied to any
// widgets that support the goToOverride property.
search.goToOverride = function(view, goToParams) {
goToParams.options = {
duration: updatedDuration
};
return view.goTo(goToParams.target, goToParams.options);
};

state

readonly Property
Type
HomeViewModelState

The current state of the widget.

Default value
"disabled"

view

Property
Type
MapViewOrSceneView | null | undefined

The view associated with the widget instance.

viewpoint

autocast Property
Type
Viewpoint | null | undefined

The Viewpoint, or point of view, to zoom to when going home. The initial value is determined a few different ways:

  • If no View is provided, the value is null.
  • If the View is ready, but the Viewpoint is not defined, the initial value of the Viewpoint is determined when the View became ready.
  • If the View is ready and the Viewpoint is defined by the user, the initial viewpoint value is the user-defined Viewpoint.
Example
// Creates a viewpoint centered on the extent of a polygon geometry
let vp = new Viewpoint({
targetGeometry: geom.extent
});
// Sets the model's viewpoint to the Viewpoint based on a polygon geometry
home.ViewModel.viewpoint = vp;

type
Type

The name of the event.

event
this["@eventTypes"][Type]

The event payload.

Returns
boolean

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

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
view.on("click", function(event){
