SnapShot class

The SnapShot class allows you to create a web map and feature collection layers from one or more graphic arrays. Each new layer can inherit properties from a source layer such as its pop-up, rendering, and scale range.

AMD Module Require

require(["jimu/dijit/SnapShot"], function(SnapShot) { /* code goes here */ });

Constructor

new SnapShot(params)

Creates a new SnapShot dijit.

Parameters:

<Object> params—Required. Parameters for the SnapShot dijit.

params properties:

<Object> appConfig—Required. The applicaton configuration from the parent Web AppBuilder application.

<Object> map—Required. The map instance from the parent Web AppBuilder application.

Example:

require(['jimu/dijit/SnapShot'], function(SnapShot) {
      var snapShot = new SnapShot(this.appConfig, this.map);
      ...
    });

Methods

createSnapShots(options)

Creates a feature collection for each graphics array and adds it to a new web map. All items are created in a new folder under the current user's content and can be shared with the appropriate groups, organization, or the public.

Parameters:

<Object> options—Required. The user-defined properties and data used to create the snapshot.

params properties:

<Array> data—Required. Array of data objects that describe the feature collections to create.

<String> name—Optional. Default name value.

Default:

<Default>

"<map item title>_<time>"

<Object> shareWith—Optional. Expected to follow Share item (as item owner) properties.

Default:

<Default>

{
  "everyone": false,
  "org": false,
  "groups": ""
}

<Object> folderOptions—Optional. Applicable item Common Parameters for a CreateFolder call.

Default:

<Default>

{
  "name": <name>,
  "title": <name>,
  "description": <name>
}

<String> mapTitle—Optional. User-provided map title.

Default:

<Default>


"mapTitle": <name>

<Object> mapExtent—Optional. User-provided extent object.

Default:

<Default>

"mapExtent": <Current Map Extent>

Example:

require(['jimu/dijit/SnapShot'], function(SnapShot) {
          //Get layer from web map
          var mapLayer = this.getFeatureLayerFromMap();
          //Create the snapshot class
          var snapShot = new SnapShot(this.appConfig, this.map);
          //Create the snapshot
          snapshot.createSnapShot({
