Description

A source for dataset containing geographic features or non-spatial records.

Subclasses represent a source for dataset that could include either geographic features or non-spatial records. You can query the dataset using attribute or spatial criteria, and if permitted, also edit the data. If the dataset contains geographic features you can display them on a map using AGSFeatureLayer.

Method Documentation

◆ cancelLoad

- (void) cancelLoad

requiredinherited

Cancels loading if it is in progress, otherwise it does nothing. This should be called carefully because other objects could be waiting for loadWithCompletion: or retryLoadWithCompletion: to complete and this will call them all back with the error of NSUserCancelledError

Since: 100

◆ canDeleteFeature:

- (BOOL) canDeleteFeature: (AGSFeature *) feature

Indicates whether the source allows this particular feature to be deleted. The method first checks to verify if the source is capable of deleting any features in general. It also checks specific ownership-based access control policies of the source to see if the user attempting to perform the operation has persmissions to delete this particular feature.

Parameters

feature Can be nil, in which case, this method only checks if the source is capable of deleting any features in general

Returns: A boolean value

Since: 100

◆ canUpdateFeature:

- (BOOL) canUpdateFeature: (AGSFeature *) feature

Indicates whether the source allows updating this particular feature. The method first checks to verify if the source is capable of updating any features in general. It also checks specific ownership-based access control policies of the source to see if the user attempting to perform the operation has persmissions to edit this patricular feature.

Parameters

feature Can be nil, in which case, this method only checks if the source is capable of updating any features in general

Returns: A boolean value

Since: 100

◆ createFeature

- (AGSFeature *) createFeature

Create a new, empty feature. Note, the new feature is only available in memory at this point, it is not committed to the dataset.

Returns: empty feature

Since: 100

Note: The feature will need to be explicitly added to the dataset. See addFeature:completion:

◆ createFeatureWithAttributes:geometry:

- (AGSFeature *) createFeatureWithAttributes:	(NSDictionary< NSString , id > )	attributes
geometry:	(nullable AGSGeometry *)	geometry

Create a new feature with the provided attribute values and, optionally, geometry. Note, the new feature is only available in memory at this point, it is not committed to the dataset.

Parameters

attributes	for the feature
geometry	for the feature

Returns: feature

Since: 100

Note: The feature will need to be explicitly added to the dataset. See addFeature:completion:

◆ doCancelLoading

- (void) doCancelLoading

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when cancelLoad (AGSLoadable-p) is called. It is meant to be overriden by subclasses. Subclasses should override this method to cancel loading their data and call loadDidFinishWithError: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) at the end passing in an error representing NSUserCancelledError.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ doStartLoading:

- (void) doStartLoading: (BOOL) retrying

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when loadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p) or retryLoadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p) is called. It is meant to be overriden by subclasses. Subclasses should override this method to load their data and call loadDidFinishWithError: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) upon completion, passing in the error if any.

Parameters

retrying flag that is true if this method was called from retryLoadWithCompletion: (AGSLoadable-p).

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ fieldForName:

- (nullable AGSField *) fieldForName: (NSString *) fieldName

Convenience method to getting a field object given its name

Parameters

fieldName The name of the field.

Returns: field

Since: 100

◆ loadDidFinishWithError:

- (void) loadDidFinishWithError: (nullable NSError *) error

Only subclasses should call this method in doStartLoading: (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) and doCancelLoading (AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly)) when done loading or failed to load.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ loadWithCompletion:

- (void) loadWithCompletion: (nullable void(^)(NSError *__nullable error)) completion

requiredinherited

Loads data for the object asynchronously. The completion block is invoked upon completion.

You can call this method any number of times, however only one attempt is made to load the data. If it is already loading, it will just continue to load (i.e. not force a reload). If it has already loaded successfully, the completion block will be invoked right away. If it has already failed to load, the completion block will be invoked right away with error previously encountered. This method supports multiple callers and will call them all back on completion. However, each caller's completion block will be invoked once and only once.

Parameters

completion block that is invoked when object loads successfully or fails to load. An error is passed to the block if the object fails to load.

Note: The completion block is always invoked on the main thread.

Since: 100

See also: - cancelLoad to cancel loading; - retryLoadWithCompletion: to force reload

◆ onLoadStatusChanged

- (void) onLoadStatusChanged

Never call this method directly. The framework calls this method on a background thread when AGSLoadable::loadStatus changes is called. Subclasses can optionally implement this to know when their loading status has changed.

Since: 100

Provided by category AGSLoadableBase(ForSubclassEyesOnly).

◆ queryExtentWithParameters:completion:

- (id<AGSCancelable>) queryExtentWithParameters:	(AGSQueryParameters *)	parameters
completion:	(void(^)(AGSEnvelope __nullable extent, NSError __nullable error))	completion

Query the dataset to find the geographic extent covering matched features or records.

Parameters

parameters	representing the query criteria
completion	The block that is called when the query is complete

Returns: operation which can be canceled

See also: AGSFeatureServiceSessionType

Since: 100.2

◆ queryFeatureCountWithParameters:completion:

- (id<AGSCancelable>) queryFeatureCountWithParameters:	(AGSQueryParameters *)	parameters
completion:	(void(^)(NSInteger count, NSError *__nullable error))	completion

Query the dataset to find the number of matched features or records.

Parameters

parameters	representing the query criteria
completion	The block that is called when the query is complete

Returns: operation which can be canceled

See also: AGSFeatureServiceSessionType

Since: 100.2

◆ queryFeaturesWithParameters:completion:

- (id<AGSCancelable>) queryFeaturesWithParameters:	(AGSQueryParameters *)	parameters
completion:	(nullable void(^)(AGSFeatureQueryResult __nullable result, NSError __nullable error))	completion

Query the dataset to find specific features or records.

Parameters

parameters	representing the query criteria
completion	The block that is called when the query is complete

Returns: operation which can be canceled

See also: AGSFeatureServiceSessionType

Since: 100

◆ queryStatisticsWithParameters:completion:

- (id<AGSCancelable>) queryStatisticsWithParameters:	(AGSStatisticsQueryParameters *)	parameters
completion:	(void(^)(AGSStatisticsQueryResult __nullable result, NSError __nullable error))	completion

Query the dataset to compute statistics on matched features or records.

Parameters

parameters	representing the query criteria
completion	The block that is called when the query is complete

Returns: operation which can be canceled

See also: AGSFeatureServiceSessionType

Since: 100.2

◆ retryLoadWithCompletion:

- (void) retryLoadWithCompletion: (nullable void(^)(NSError *__nullable error)) completion

requiredinherited

Tries to reload when an object has failed to load. This method should be called judiciously. It should be called when:

you didn't have network connectivity earlier when it failed and you want to retry now that you have connectivity
the server was down earlier when it failed and you want to retry
the request is taking too long and you want to cancel it and retry, in which case you will first call cancelLoad and then this method

If the data hasn't started loading, it will start loading. If it is already loading, it will just continue to load. If it has already loaded successfully, calls back right away. If it has already failed to load, tries again. This method supports multiple callers and will call them all back on completion. However, each caller's completion block will be invoked once and only once.

Parameters

completion block that is invoked when object loads successfully or fails to load. An error is passed to the block if the object fails to load.

Note: The completion block is always invoked on the main thread.
