The Swipe component provides a tool to show a portion of a layer or layers on top of a map. Layers can be swiped vertically or horizontally to easily compare two layers or see what is underneath a layer.

To use the Swipe component, set the startLayers and endLayers properties to determine what will be compared on either side of the component. If one of these properties is not set, then the Swipe component will overlay the existing map.

Known limitations

  • This component is not currently supported within a Scene component.

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

direction

reflected Property
Type
Direction

The direction the Swipe component moves across the view. If "horizontal", the component will move left and right and if "vertical", the component will move up and down.

Attribute
direction
Default value
"horizontal"

disabled

reflected Property
Type
boolean

When true, the component is visually withdrawn and cannot receive user interaction.

Attribute
disabled
Default value
false

endLayers

Property
Type
Collection<Layer>
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0

A collection of layers that will show on the right or bottom side of the Swipe component.

hideDivider

reflected Property
Type
boolean

When true, the divider between the leading and trailing layers will be hidden.

Attribute
hide-divider
Default value
false

hideHandle

reflected Property
Type
boolean

When true, the handle from which you drag the component will be hidden.

Attribute
hide-handle
Default value
false

messageOverrides

Property
Type
Record<string, unknown> | undefined

Replace localized message strings with your own strings.

Note: Individual message keys may change between releases.

position

Property
Type
number
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0

The position of the Swipe component. This determines what percentage of the view will be taken up by the startLayers.

Attribute
position
Default value
25

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.

startLayers

Property
Type
Collection<Layer>
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 5.0

A collection of layers that will show on the left or top side of the Swipe component.

state

readonly Property
Type
State

The current state of the component.

Default value
"disabled"

swipePosition

deprecated Property
Type
number

The position of the Swipe component. This determines what percentage of the view will be taken up by the startLayers.

Attribute
swipe-position
Default value
25

trailingLayers

deprecated Property
Type
Collection<Layer>

A collection of layers that will show on the right or bottom side of the Swipe component.

view

Property
Type
MapView | 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-swipe component will be associated with a map or scene component rather than using the view property.

Methods

componentOnReady(): Promise<this>
destroy(): Promise<void>

componentOnReady

inherited Method
Signature
componentOnReady (): Promise<this>
Inherited from: PublicLitElement

Creates a promise that resolves once the component is fully loaded.

Returns
Promise<this>
Example
const arcgisSwipe = document.querySelector("arcgis-swipe");
document.body.append(arcgisSwipe);
await arcgisSwipe.componentOnReady();
console.log("arcgis-swipe is ready to go!");

destroy

Method
Signature
destroy (): Promise<void>

Permanently destroy the component.

Returns
Promise<void>

Events

arcgisPropertyChange

Event
arcgisPropertyChange: CustomEvent<{ name: "state"; }>

Emitted when the value of a property is changed. Use this to listen to changes to properties.

bubbles composed cancelable

arcgisReady

Event
arcgisReady: CustomEvent<void>

Emitted when the component associated with a map or scene view is ready to be interacted with.

bubbles composed cancelable

arcgisSwipeChange

Event
arcgisSwipeChange: CustomEvent<void>
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.34

Fires when the swipe position changes and the drag handle is released on the component.

Note: To constantly listen to changes while dragging, use the arcgisSwipeInput event instead.

bubbles composed cancelable

arcgisSwipeInput

Event
arcgisSwipeInput: CustomEvent<void>
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.34

Fires when the swipe position is updated. This event is fired continuously while dragging the handle.
