Query top features from a FeatureLayer

This sample demonstrates how to use the queryTopFeatures() method on a FeatureLayer to query the most or the least visited national parks in each state for a given year or total of all time. The queryTopFeatures() method will return a FeatureSet containing an array of the most or the least visited parks grouped by states and ordered by the number of visits in descending or ascending order. The attributes of returned parks will be displayed on the right side of the application and the resulting features will be displayed in the map.

How it works

When the application starts, a UI displays options for user input. Here, the user can specify if the results should include the most or the least visited parks, how many parks should be returned from each state, and the time extent to query against. When calling the queryTopFeatures() method, the topFilter property of the TopFeaturesQuery parameter must always be set. In this app, the TopFeaturesQuery parameters are set as shown below.

            const results = await layer.queryTopFeatures(query);

The results of the queryTopFeatures() method are processed as shown below to display the attributes of the parks in descending or ascending order on the right side of the application. The user then can click on an ordered result to display the corresponding popup on the map.

              const attributes = result.attributes;
              const item = document.createElement("calcite-pick-list-item");
              item.setAttribute("label", attributes.Park);
              item.setAttribute("value", index);

              const visitorTotal = orderByFieldSelection.selectedOption.value;
              const total = `Total visitors: ${attributes[visitorTotal]}`;
              const state = `State: ${attributes.State}`;
              const description = total + "\n" + state;
              item.setAttribute("description", description);
              item.addEventListener("click", parkResultClickHandler);
              document.getElementById("results").appendChild(item);
            });

The parks are also filtered on the map to just display the parks matching the query results. To do this, the queryTopObjectIds() method is called to get the objectIds of the parks returned from queryTopFeatures method. Then the array of objectIds is used to set a filter of the layer view representing the national parks feature layer.

To create the list of the most or least visited parks, we use calcite components, a set of responsive, reusable web components from Esri's new design system. We also style the calcite components to match the colors of park symbols as shown below:
