esri/layers/catalog/CatalogDynamicGroupLayer
CatalogDynamicGroupLayer is a sublayer of the CatalogLayer that displays catalog items (layers) in the current view. Since it is dynamic, its list of catalog items in the LayerList changes as you interact with the map. By default, CatalogDynamicGroupLayer draws up to 10 catalog items or layers at a time. This default setting can be changed by adjusting the maximumVisibleSublayers property.
The layers in the CatalogDynamicGroupLayer are read-only and not editable. All catalog items draw with their default symbology. To change layer configurations of a catalog item, you must add the layer to the map by calling createLayerFromFootprint() method on the parent CatalogLayer.

Property Details
-
Effect provides various filter functions that can be performed on the layer to achieve different visual effects similar to how image filters work. This powerful capability allows you to apply css filter-like functions to layers to create custom visual effects to enhance the cartographic quality of your maps. This is done by applying the desired effect to the layer's
effect
property as a string or an array of objects to set scale dependent effects.Notes
- Set featureEffect property if different effects need to be applied features that meet or fail a specified filter.
- If all of the following four properties are applied, then they will be applied in this order:
featureEffect
, effect, opacity and blendMode.
Known Limitations
- The effect is not supported in 3D SceneViews.
- The effect cannot be applied to a layer with a heatmap renderer.
- The effect is not supported in layers with featureReduction of type
cluster
enabled. - See print for known printing limitations.
- Default Value:null
- See also
Examples// the following effect will be applied to the layer at all scales // brightness will be applied first, then hue-rotate followed by contrast // changing order of the effects will change the final result layer.effect = "brightness(5) hue-rotate(270deg) contrast(200%)";
// set a scale dependent bloom effect on the layer layer.effect = [ { scale: 36978595, value: "drop-shadow(3px, 3px, 4px)" }, { scale: 18489297, value: "drop-shadow(2px, 2px, 3px)" }, { scale: 4622324, value: "drop-shadow(1px, 1px, 2px)" } ];
-
Inherited from Layer
-
The full extent of the layer. By default, this is worldwide. This property may be used to set the extent of the view to match a layer's extent so that its features appear to fill the view. See the sample snippet below.
Example// Once the layer loads, set the view's extent to the layer's fullextent layer.when(function(){ view.extent = layer.fullExtent; });
-
layers
layers Collection<Layer>readonly

loadStatus
InheritedPropertyloadStatus Stringreadonly
Inherited from Layer -
Represents the status of a load operation.
Value Description not-loaded The object's resources have not loaded. loading The object's resources are currently loading. loaded The object's resources have loaded without errors. failed The object's resources failed to load.

-
A list of warnings which occurred while loading.
-
maxScale
maxScale Number
-
The maximum scale (most zoomed in) at which the layer is visible in the view. If the map is zoomed in beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of
0
means the layer does not have a maximum scale. The maxScale value should always be smaller than the minScale value, and greater than or equal to the service specification.- Default Value:0
Examples// The layer will not be visible when the view is zoomed in beyond a scale of 1:1,000 layer.maxScale = 1000;
// The layer's visibility is not restricted to a maximum scale. layer.maxScale = 0;
-
maximumVisibleSublayers
maximumVisibleSublayers Number
-
The maximum number of sublayers that can be visible at once in a CatalogDynamicGroupLayer. This value can range between
0
and50
.- Default Value:10
Example// Change the maximumVisibleSublayers of the dynamicGroupLayer after the catalog layer is loaded const layerView = await view.whenLayerView(layer); await reactiveUtils.whenOnce(() => !layerView.updating); layer.dynamicGroupLayer.maximumVisibleSublayers = 20;
-
minScale
minScale Number
-
The minimum scale (most zoomed out) at which the layer is visible in the view. If the map is zoomed out beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of
0
means the layer does not have a minimum scale. The minScale value should always be larger than the maxScale value, and lesser than or equal to the service specification.- Default Value:0
Examples// The layer will not be visible when the view is zoomed out beyond a scale of 1:3,000,000 layer.minScale = 3000000;
// The layer's visibility is not restricted to a minimum scale. layer.minScale = 0;

InheritedMethodisFulfilled(){Boolean}
Inherited from Layer -
isFulfilled()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is fulfilled (either resolved or rejected). If it is fulfilled,true
will be returned.ReturnsType Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected).
-
isRejected
InheritedMethodisRejected(){Boolean}

isResolved
InheritedMethodisResolved(){Boolean}
Inherited from Layer -
isResolved()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is resolved. If it is resolved,true
will be returned.ReturnsType Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved.
-
Inherited from Layer
-
Loads the resources referenced by this class. This method automatically executes for a View and all of the resources it references in Map if the view is constructed with a map instance.
This method must be called by the developer when accessing a resource that will not be loaded in a View.
The
load()
method only triggers the loading of the resource the first time it is called. The subsequent calls return the same promise.It's possible to provide a
signal
to stop being interested into aLoadable
instance load status. When the signal is aborted, the instance does not stop its loading process, only cancelLoad can abort it.Parametersignal AbortSignaloptionalSignal object that can be used to abort the asynchronous task. The returned promise will be rejected with an Error named
AbortError
when an abort is signaled. See also AbortController for more information on how to construct a controller that can be used to deliver abort signals.ReturnsType Description Promise Resolves when the resources have loaded.
-
on
InheritedMethodon(type, listener){Object}
Inherited from Layer -
Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.
ParametersReturnsType Description Object Returns an event handler with a remove()
method that should be called to stop listening for the event(s).Property Type Description remove Function When called, removes the listener from the event. Exampleview.on("click", function(event){ // event is the event handle returned after the event fires. console.log(event.mapPoint); });
-
Inherited from Accessor
-
Removes a group of handles owned by the object.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.
Exampleobj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group obj.removeHandles("handle-group"); obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
-
Inherited from Layer
-
when()
may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: acallback
function and anerrback
function. Thecallback
executes when the instance of the class loads. Theerrback
executes if the instance of the class fails to load.ParametersReturnsType Description Promise Returns a new promise for the result of callback
that may be used to chain additional functions.Example// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way let view = new MapView(); view.when(function(){ // This function will execute once the promise is resolved }, function(error){ // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error });
