The Catalog Layer List provides a way to display and interact with CatalogLayers. The component displays a list of layers in the 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.

Demo

Example
const catalogLayerListElement = document.createElement("arcgis-catalog-layer-list");
catalogLayerListElement.referenceElement = viewElement;
catalogLayerListElement.slot = "top-right";
viewElement.appendChild(catalogLayerListElement);
catalogLayerListElement.listItemCreatedFunction = (event) => {
const { item } = event;
const { layer } = item;
if (isLayerFromCatalog(layer)) {
item.actionsSections = [
[
{
title: "Add layer to map",
icon: "add-layer",
id: "add-layer"
}
]
];
}
}
// Listen for the arcgisTriggerAction event on the CatalogLayerList
// 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.addEventListener("arcgisTriggerAction", 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);
viewElement.map.add(layerFromFootprint);
}
});

autoDestroyDisabled

Property
Type
boolean

If true, the component will not be destroyed automatically when it is disconnected from the document. This is useful when you want to move the component to a different place on the page, or temporarily hide it. If this is set, make sure to call the destroy() method when you are done to prevent memory leaks.

Attribute
auto-destroy-disabled
Default value
false

catalogItems

readonly Property
Type
Collection<ListItem>

A collection of ListItems representing the CatalogLayer's dynamicGroupLayer.

catalogLayer

Property
Type
CatalogLayer | null | undefined

The CatalogLayer to display in the component.

Example
catalogLayerListElement.catalogLayer = new CatalogLayer({ url });

closed

Property
Type
boolean
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.33

Indicates whether a component is closed. When true, the component will be hidden.

Attribute
closed
Default value
false

collapsed

reflected Property
Type
boolean

Indicates whether the component is collapsed. When collapsed, only the collapse button and the heading are displayed.

See also
Attribute

filterPlaceholder

Property
Type
string

Placeholder text used in the filter input if showFilter is true.

See also
Attribute

Example
catalogLayerListElement.filterPlaceholder = "Filter layers";

filterPredicate

Property

);

headingLevel

Property
Type
HeadingLevel

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

See also
Attribute
heading-level
Default value
2
Example
catalogLayerListElement.headingLevel = 3;

hideStatusIndicators

Property
Type
boolean
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0

Indicates whether the status indicators will be displayed.

Attribute

Default value
false

icon

autocast Property
Type
Icon["icon"]

Icon which represents the component. Typically used when the component is controlled by another component (e.g. by the Expand component).

See also
Attribute
icon
Default value
"catalog-dataset"

label

Property
Type
string

The component's default label.

Attribute
label

listItemCreatedFunction

Property
Type
ListItemModifier | null | undefined

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
catalogLayerListElement.listItemCreatedFunction = (event) => {
const { item } = event;
const { layer } = item;
if (isLayerFromCatalog(layer)) {
item.actionsSections = [
[
{
title: "Add layer to map",
icon: "add-layer",
id: "add-layer"
}
]
];
}
}

minFilterItems

Property
Type
number

The minimum number of list items required to display the showFilter input box.

See also
Attribute
min-filter-items
Default value
10
Example
catalogLayerListElement.showFilter = true;
catalogLayerListElement.minFilterItems = 5;

referenceElement

Property
Type
ArcgisReferenceElement | string | undefined

By assigning the id attribute of the Map or Scene component to this property, you can position a child component anywhere in the DOM while still maintaining a connection to the Map or Scene.

See also
Attribute
reference-element

selectedItems

Property
Type
Collection<ListItem>

A collection of selected ListItems representing catalogItems selected by the user.

See also

selectionMode

Property
Type
"multiple" | "single" | "none" | "single-persist"

Specifies the selection mode. Selected items are available in the selectedItems property.

ValueDescription
multipleAllows 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.
noneDisables selection. Use this when you want to prevent selecting items.
singleAllows 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-persistAllows 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.
See also
Attribute
selection-mode
Default value
"none"
Example
catalogLayerListElement.selectionMode = "multiple";

showCloseButton

Property
Type
boolean
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0

Indicates whether to display a close button in the header.

Attribute
show-close-button
Default value
false

showCollapseButton

Property
Type
boolean
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0

Indicates whether to display a collapse button in the header.

Attribute
show-temporary-layer-indicators
Default value
false

state

readonly Property
Type
CatalogLayerListState

The current state of the component.

Default value
"disabled"

view

Property
Type
MapViewOrSceneView | null | undefined

The view associated with the component.

Note: The recommended approach is to fully migrate applications to use map and scene components and avoid using MapView and SceneView directly. However, if you are migrating a large application from widgets to components, you might prefer a more gradual transition. To support this use case, the SDK includes this view property which connects a component to a MapView or SceneView. Ultimately, once migration is complete, the arcgis-catalog-layer-list component will be associated with a map or scene component rather than using the view property.

visibilityAppearance

Property
Type
VisibilityAppearance

Determines the icons used to indicate visibility.

ValueDescriptionExample
defaultDisplays 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.visibilityAppearance-default
checkboxDisplays checkbox icons on the near side. See check-square-f and square calcite icons.visibilityAppearance-checkbox
Attribute
visibility-appearance
Default value
"default"
Example
catalogLayerListElement.visibilityAppearance = "checkbox";
