Property Details

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor

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

fieldName

Property
fieldName String

The field name as defined by the service or the name of an Arcade expression. Arcade expression names are defined in the expressionInfos property of the PopupTemplate. When referencing Arcade expressions, you must preface the name with expression/, such as expression/percent-total.

format

Property
format FieldInfoFormat

Class which provides formatting options for numerical or date fields and how they should display within a popup.

  • Set the popupTemplate.fieldInfos property for any fields that need to have number formatting for chart/text elements.
  • If displaying a timestamp-offset or date type field in a Popup, Features, or Feature widget and the MapView has a timezone set other than unknown, the abbreviated time zone suffix will be omitted from the attribute value. For example, the attribute value will display as 9/28/2014, 7:58 PM. To display an abbreviated time zone suffix, see the Read more section.
  • If the user wants date fields to show a time zone suffix (e.g. 9/28/2014, 7:58 PM PST), then the Arcade Text function can be used to format the field value. This can be done either with ExpressionContent or attribute expressions.
    // Attribute expression using expressionInfos to append the time zone suffix to a date field.
    // Date field types will show in the MapView's current time zone.
    layer.popupTemplate = {
      title: "Display time zones",
      fieldInfos: [{
        fieldName: "expression/date-with-time-zone-suffix",
      }],
      expressionInfos: [{
        expression: `Text($feature.date_Field, "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")`,
        name: "date-with-time-zone-suffix",
      }],
      content: [{
        type: "fields"
      }]
    };
    
    // ExpressionContent to append the time zone suffix to a date field.
    // Date field types will show in the MapView's current time zone by default.
    layer.popupTemplate = {
      title: "Display time zones",
      content: [{
        type: "expression",
        expressionInfo: {
          expression: `return {
            type : 'text',
            text : Text($feature.date_Field, "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")
          }`
        }
      }]
     };
    
  • If the user wants timestamp-offset fields to display in the time zone from the server with an abbreviated time zone suffix, then the Arcade Text function can be used to format the field value. This can be done either with ExpressionContent or attribute expressions.
    // Attribute expression using expressionInfos to append the time zone suffix to a timestamp-offset field.
    layer.popupTemplate = {
      title: "Display time zones",
      fieldInfos: [{
        fieldName: "expression/TSO-from-server",
      }],
      expressionInfos: [{
        expression: `Text($feature.TimestampOffset_Field, "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")`,
        name: "TSO-from-server",
      }],
      content: [{
        type: "fields"
      }]
    };
    
    // ExpressionContent to append the time zone suffix to a timestamp-offset field.
    layer.popupTemplate = {
      title: "Display time zones",
      content: [{
        type: "expression",
        expressionInfo: {
          expression: `return {
            type : 'text',
            text : Text($feature.TimestampOffset_Field, "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")
          }`
        }
      }]
     };
    
  • If the user wants timestamp-offset fields to display in the MapView's time zone with an abbreviated time zone suffix, then the ChangeTimeZone Arcade function can be used to format the value.
    // Attribute expression using expressionInfos to append the MapView's current time zone suffix to a timestamp-offset field
    layer.popupTemplate = {
      title: "Display time zones",
      fieldInfos: [{
        fieldName: "expression/TSO-matching-view-tz",
      }],
      expressionInfos: [{
        expression: `Text(ChangeTimeZone($feature.TimestampOffset_Field, GetEnvironment().timeZone), "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")`,
        name: "TSO-matching-view-tz",
      }],
      content: [{
        type: "fields"
      }]
    };
    
    // ExpressionContent to append the MapView's current time zone suffix to a timestamp-offset field
    layer.popupTemplate = {
      title: "Display time zones",
      content: [{
        type: "expression",
        expressionInfo: {
          expression: `return {
            type: "text",
            text: Text(ChangeTimeZone($feature.TimestampOffset_Field, GetEnvironment().timeZone), "M/D/Y, h:mm A ZZZZ")
          }`
        }
      }]
