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); }});Properties

autoDestroyDisabled
- 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
- Type
- Collection<ListItem>
A collection of ListItems representing the CatalogLayer's dynamicGroupLayer.
catalogLayer
- Type
- CatalogLayer | null | undefined
The CatalogLayer to display in the component.
Example
catalogLayerListElement.catalogLayer = new CatalogLayer({ url }); closed
- 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
- Type
- boolean
Indicates whether the component is collapsed. When collapsed, only the collapse button and the heading are displayed.
- See also
- Attribute
- collapsed
- Default value
- false
Example
catalogLayerListElement.collapsed = true; filterPlaceholder
- Type
- string
Placeholder text used in the filter input if showFilter is true.
- See also
- Attribute
- filter-placeholder
- Default value
- ""
Example
catalogLayerListElement.filterPlaceholder = "Filter layers"; filterPredicate
- Type
- FilterPredicate | null | undefined

- ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.32
Specifies a function to handle filtering list items.
Example
catalogLayerListElement.filterPredicate = (item) => item.title.toLowerCase().includes("streets"); filterText

- Attribute

- ""
Example
reactiveUtils.watch( () => catalogLayerListElement.filterText, (filterText) => console.log(filterText)); headingLevel
- 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
- Type
- boolean
- Since
- ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0
Indicates whether the status indicators will be displayed.
- Attribute
- hide-status-indicators
- Default value
- false
icon
- 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"
listItemCreatedFunction
- 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
- 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
- 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.
- Attribute
- reference-element
selectedItems
- Type
- Collection<ListItem>
A collection of selected ListItems representing catalogItems selected by the user.
- See also
selectionMode
- Type
- "multiple" | "single" | "none" | "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. |
- See also
- Attribute
- selection-mode
- Default value
- "none"
Example
catalogLayerListElement.selectionMode = "multiple"; showCloseButton
- Type

- 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
- Type
- boolean
- Since
- ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0
Indicates whether to display a collapse button in the header.
- Attribute
- show-collapse-button
- Default value
- false
showErrors
- Type
- boolean
- Since
- ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0
Indicates whether to display layers with load errors.
- Attribute
- show-errors
- Default value
- false
showFilter
- Type
- boolean
- Since
- ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0

- Default value
- false
showTemporaryLayerIndicators

- Attribute
- show-temporary-layer-indicators
- Default value
- false
view
- 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
viewproperty 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 theviewproperty.
visibilityAppearance

- 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. | ![]() |
- Attribute
