Class: InfoTemplate

require(["esri/InfoTemplate"], function(InfoTemplate) { /* code goes here */ });

Description

(Added at v1.0)
An InfoTemplate contains a title and content template string used to transform Graphic.attributes into an HTML representation. The Dojo syntax ${} performs the parameter substitution. In addition, a wildcard ${*} can be used as the template string. The wildcard prints out all of the attribute's name value pairs. The default behavior on a Graphic is to show the Map's InfoWindow after a click on the Graphic. An InfoTemplate is required for this default behavior.
