List features related to a selected feature.

screenshot

Use case

Related features are useful for managing relational information, like what you would store in a relational database management system (RDBMS). You can define relationship between records as one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-one. For example, you could model inspections and facilities as a many-to-one relationship. Then, for any facility feature, you could list related inspection features.

How to use the sample

Click on a feature to select it. The related features will be displayed in a list.

How it works

  1. With a Feature, call queryRelatedFeaturesAsync on the feature's feature table.
  2. Iterate over the result's collection of RelatedFeatureQueryResult objects to get the related features and add them to a list.
