Delete features from an online feature service.

Use case
Sometimes users may want to delete features from an online feature service.
How to use the sample
- click on a feature on the Map
- click on the delete button
How it works
- Create a
ServiceFeatureTableobject from a URL. - Create a
FeatureLayerfrom the service feature table. - Select features from the feature layer via
selectFeaturesAsync(). - Remove the selected features from the table using
deleteFeaturesAsync(). - Update the table on the server using
applyEditsAsync().
Relevant API
- Feature
- FeatureLayer
- ServiceFeatureTable
