Toolkit

ArcGIS Maps SDK for Swift offers an open source toolkit that contains ready-made UI components to simplify the development of mapping and GIS apps in Swift. Check out the examples project to see these components in action or read through the documentation to learn more about them.

To use Toolkit in your project:

• Install with Swift Package Manager - Add https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-maps-sdk-swift-toolkit as the package repository URL.

Toolkit Components

• Authenticator - Displays a user interface when network and ArcGIS authentication challenges occur.
• BasemapGallery - Displays a collection of basemaps.
• Bookmarks - Shows bookmarks, from a map, scene, or a list.
• Building Explorer - Allows you to explore a building model in a BuildingSceneLayer.
• Compass - Shows a compass direction when the map is rotated. Auto-hides when the map points north.
• FeatureFormView - Enables users to edit field values of a feature using pre-configured forms.
• Floating Panel - Allows display of view-related content in a “bottom sheet”.
• FloorFilter - Allows filtering of floor plan data in a geo view by a site, a building in the site, or a floor in the building.
• FlyoverSceneView - Allows you to explore a scene using your device as a window into the virtual world.
• JobManager - Manages saving and loading jobs so that they can continue to run if the app is backgrounded or even terminated by the system.
• OfflineMapAreasView - Allows you to take a web map offline by downloading map areas.
• OverviewMap - Displays the visible extent of a geo view in a small “inset” map.
• PopupView - Displays details, media, and attachments of features and graphics.
• Scalebar - Displays current scale reference.
• SearchView - Displays a search experience for geo views.
• TableTopSceneView - Allows you to anchor scene content to a physical surface, as if it were a 3D-printed model.
• UtilityNetworkTrace - Runs traces on a web map published with a utility network and trace configurations.
• WorldScaleSceneView - Allows you to integrate scene content with the real world.

Access ArcGIS location services

The toolkit examples app has been updated to make use of the ArcGIS basemaps A basemap is the foundational layer and data that provides the overall visual and geographic context for a map or scene. It typically includes geographic features and labels for land, water, roads, buildings, cities, places, and administrative boundaries, but can also include raster data such as satellite and areal images. Learn more defined with default basemap styles A basemap style is a definition that controls the visual appearance of how geographic data in a basemap are displayed. It includes colors, backgrounds, outlines, labels, and other visual elements. Each basemap style emphasizes a specific type of cartographic theme and data. Learn more . These basemaps take advantage of geographically load-balanced ArcGIS location services and allow you to monitor usage with API keys An API key is a long-lived access token created using API key credentials. They are valid for up to one year and are typically embedded directly into client applications.

The typical authorization protocol used is OAuth2.0. Learn more .

SwiftLint

Both the toolkit and examples app support SwiftLint. You can install SwiftLint from here. It is not necessary to have it installed in order to build, but you will get a warning without it. The specific rules the linter uses can be found in the swiftlint.yml files in the Toolkit and Examples directories.
