Properties

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.

geolocationOptions

Property
Type
PositionOptions | null | undefined

An object used for setting optional position parameters. Refer to the Geolocation API Specification for details on using these parameters.

Example
const track = new Track({
view: view,
// Set optional position parameters
geolocationOptions: {
maximumAge: 0,
timeout: 15000,
enableHighAccuracy: true
}
});

goToLocationEnabled

Property
Type
boolean

Indicates whether to navigate the view to the position and scale of the geolocated result.

Default value
true

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.

See also
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);
};

graphic

autocast Property
Type
Graphic

The graphic used to show the user's location on the map.

Example
const trackWidget = new Track({
// Assign the track widget to a view
view: view,
// Overwrite the default symbol used for the
// graphic placed at the location of the user
graphic: new Graphic ({
symbol: {
// autocasts as new SimpleMarkerSymbol()
type: "simple-marker",
size: "12px",
color: "blue",
// autocasts as new SimpleLineSymbol()
outline: {
color: "#efefef",
width: "1.5px"
}
}
})
});

scale

Property
Type
number | null | undefined
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

Indicates the scale to set on the view when navigating to the position of the geolocated result, after a location is returned.

By default, the view will navigate to a scale of 2500 for 3D and 4514 for 2D. To override the default in 2D, set the scale property and also set snapToZoom to false. For 2D views the value should be within the effectiveMinScale and effectiveMaxScale.

view

Property
Type
MapViewOrSceneView | null | undefined

The view associated with the widget.

emit <Type extends EventNames<this>>(type: Type, event?: this["@eventTypes"][Type]): boolean
Type parameters
<Type extends EventNames<this>>
Inherited from: EventedMixin
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.5

Emits an event on the instance. This method should only be used when creating subclasses of this class.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
type
Type

The name of the event.

event
this["@eventTypes"][Type]

The event payload.

Returns
boolean

true if a listener was notified

hasEventListener

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

Indicates whether there is an event listener on the instance that matches the provided event name.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
type
Type

The name of the event.

Returns
boolean

Returns true if the class supports the input event.

on

inherited Method
Signature
on <Type extends EventNames<this>>(type: Type, listener: EventedCallback<this["@eventTypes"][Type]>): ResourceHandle
Type parameters
<Type extends EventNames<this>>
Inherited from: EventedMixin

Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
type
Type

An event or an array of events to listen for.

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){
// event is the event handle returned after the event fires.
console.log(event.mapPoint);
});
