idA string containing the item ID of the service if it’s registered on ArcGIS Online or your organization’s portal.
isReferenceThis property is applicable if used as a baseMapLayer. A boolean value indicating whether or not the baseMapLayer draws on top (true) of other layers, including operationalLayers, or below (false).
itemIdOptional string containing the item ID of the service if it’s registered on ArcGIS Online or your organization’s portal.
layerTypeString indicating the layer type.
Valid value of this property VectorTileLayer
maxScaleA number representing the maximum scale at which the layer will be visible. The number is the scale’s denominator.
minScaleA number representing the minimum scale at which the layer will be visible. The number is the scale’s denominator.
opacityThe degree of transparency applied to the layer on the client side, where 0 is full transparency and 1 is no transparency.
styleUrlA url to a JSON file containing the stylesheet information used to render the layer. You may also pass an object containing the stylesheet information identical to the JSON file.
titleA user-friendly string title for the layer that can be used in a table of contents.
typeDeprecated. User layerType instead.
