Get an access token

You need an access token with the correct privileges to access the location services used in this tutorial.

1. Go to the Create an API key tutorial and create an API key with the following privileges:
   
   • Privileges
     • Location services > Basemaps
     • Location services > Data enrichment
     • Location services > Geocoding
2. In CodePen, set the esriConfig.apiKey to your API key.
3. You will also need to use your API key to access ArcGIS REST JS.

Add modules

1. In the require statement, add the Graphic, geometryEngine, Search, locator, and reactiveUtils modules.

   More info

   The ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript is available as AMD modules and ES modules, but this tutorial is based on AMD. The AMD require function uses references to determine which modules will be loaded – for example, you can specify "esri/layers/FeatureLayer" for loading the FeatureLayer module. After the modules are loaded, they are passed as parameters (e.g. FeatureLayer) to the callback function where they can be used in your application. It is important to keep the module references and callback parameters in the same order. To learn more about the API's different modules visit the Overview Guide page.

2. When the user selects a search result, we want to query for the demographics of that location. To do this, we will listen for the select-result event on the Search widget, then call the getDemographicData() function, which we will define in the Get demographic data section.

Add click event on the view

We also want to allow the user to search for demographics by clicking anywhere in the map. To do this, we will watch for a click event on the MapView.

1. Use the click event to watch for when the MapView is clicked.

Get demographic data

To get the demographic data for an area on the map, we will use the ArcGIS REST JS queryDemographicData() method.

1. Create a function, getDemographicData(), to get the demographic data from the ArcGIS REST JS and handle the results. We will add the city and point we want to get the demographics for as the function parameters.

Show the Popup on app load

To give users an idea of how the app works, we can show the popup on initial load of the app. Once the view loads, we can call getDemographicData() for the center of the view.

1. Wait for the view to be created by using view.when.

2. Inside the callback, use reactiveUtils.watch to watch once the activeSource property of Search has changed. Then, we can disable the default popup for Search, set a placeholder within the Search widget, and call getDemographicData() for the city of Milan, which is located in the center of the view.
