Property Details

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

description

Property
description String

Description for the WMS sublayer. This defaults to the value of the Abstract property from the WMS GetCapabilities request.

dimensions

Property
dimensions Array<(TimeDimension|ElevationDimension|GenericDimension)>readonly
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20 WMSSublayer since 4.4, dimensions added at 4.20.

An array of time, elevation and other dimensions for the sublayer. Information from a TimeDimension can be used to update View.timeExtent, WMSLayer.timeExtent, or to configure a TimeSlider widget.

A WMSLayer or WMSSublayer can only have one time dimension. The following example shows how to find the time dimension (if any) for the base layer.

const layer = new WMSLayer({
  url: "https://public-wms.met.no/verportal/verportal.map?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.3.0"
});
await layer.load();
const precipitation = layer.allSublayers.find((sl) => sl.name === "precipitation_3h_global");
layer.sublayers = [precipitation];
const timeDimension = precipitation.dimensions.find((dimension) => dimension.name === "time");

Data can exist at specific times or time ranges. We can access this information from the extent property of the TimeDimension as either an array of discrete dates or TimeDimensionIntervals. For example, continuing from the previous example, a TimeSlider is configured using the extent from a TimeDimension.

const dates = timeDimension.extent; // This time dimension is expressed as an array of dates.
const start = dates[0]; // Get the first and earliest date
const end = dates[dates.length -1]; // Get last date
const timeSlider = new TimeSlider({
  container: "timeSliderDiv",
  view: view,
  mode: "instant",
  timeVisible: true,
  loop: true,
  fullTimeExtent: { // The TimeSlider UI will span all dates
    start,
    end
  },
  stops: {
    dates // The TimeSlider thumb will snap exactly to each valid date
  }
})

maxScale

Property

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 zero means the layer does not have a maximum scale.

Default Value:0

minScale

Property
minScale Number
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14 WMSSublayer since 4.4, minScale added at 4.14.

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 zero means the layer does not have a minimum scale.

Returns a reference to the parent WMS sublayer or layer.

Example
// Display the title and description for the WMS sublayer named "RADAR_1KM_RDBR".
const wmsLayer = new WMSLayer({
  url: "https://geo.weather.gc.ca/geomet"
});
wmsLayer.load().then(() => {
  const subLayer = layer.findSublayerByName("RADAR_1KM_RDBR");
  let parent = wmsSubLayer.parent;
  while(parent) {
