Class: Editor
[ AMD Module Require | Legacy Module Require ]
dojo.require("esri.dijit.editing.Editor")
Description
(Added at v2.0)
The Editor widget provides out-of-the-box editing capabilities using an editable layer in a Feature Service. It combines the out-of-the-box TemplatePicker, AttachmentEditor, AttributeInspector and GeometryService to provide feature and attribute editing. When building editing applications, try to take advantage of the customizable out-of-the-box Editor widget when possible.
Editing behaviors:
- To create features, click a feature template in the template picker then start drawing the feature.
- To move features, click and drag the feature to a new location.
- To delete features, click the feature then press the 'Delete' button on the attribute inspector.
- To edit features, click the feature to display the vertices and the attribute inspector.
- Editing Vertices:
- Add new vertices by clicking a ghost vertex.
- Right-click to delete a vertex.
- Click and drag to move a vertex to a new location.
- Attribute edits are saved automatically when you change selection, change the focus field, or press enter.
- Geometry edits are saved automatically.

Create a settings object that defines the capabilities of the widget.
var settings = {
map: map,
geometryService: new esri.tasks.GeometryService("http://servery/arcgis/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer"),
createOptions: { polygonDrawTools:[esri.dijit.editing.Editor.CREATE_TOOL_FREEHAND_POLYGON] },
layerInfos:layerInfos
};
Pass the settings to the widget
var params = {settings: settings};
var myFeatureServiceWidget = new esri.dijit.editing.Editor(params,'divFeatureServiceDijit');
myFeatureServiceWidget.startup();
