Type	Summary	Class
String	The name of the class.	Accessor
String	Describes the values represented by the symbol in the Legend.	UniqueValueClass
Symbol	Defines the symbol used to represent features containing the given values.	UniqueValueClass

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.

label Property label String

Describes the values represented by the symbol in the Legend. If no label is provided, then a list of each value is displayed in the legend.

Example

lowDensityCommercialClass.label = "C-2 | Community Commercial";

symbol Property symbol Symbolautocast

Defines the symbol used to represent features containing the given values.

Example

lowDensityCommercialClass.symbol = {
  type: "simple-fill",
  color: [255,179,219]
};

values Property values UniqueValue[]autocast Autocasts from String|Number|Object|Array

An array of unique values that should be rendered with the same symbol. This can be autocast from a single value (or an array of raw data values) if the values come only from a UniqueValueRenderer.field or UniqueValueRenderer.valueExpression. If values originate from UniqueValueRenderer.field2 or UniqueValueRenderer.field3, then this may be autocast from an object or an array of objects specifying the combinations of valid values from each field.

Examples

// Features with the value of "High" in the renderer's field
// will be represented with the symbol defined in the class.
uniqueValueClass.values = "High";

// Features with any of the values below in the renderer's field
// will be represented with the symbol defined in the class.
uniqueValueClass.values = ["R-1", "R-2", "R-3", "R-4", "R-5"];

// Features with only the combination values below from
// field, field2, and field3 in the renderer
// will be represented with the symbol defined in the class.
uniqueValueClass.values = {
  value: "50,000-75,000",
  value2: "Republican",
  value3: "18-25"
};

// Features with any the combinations of values below from
// field and field2 in the renderer
// will be represented with the symbol defined in the class.
uniqueValueClass.values = [{
  value: "Low",
  value2: "Low"
}, {
  value: "Low",
  value2: "High"
}, {
  value: "High",
  value2: "Low"
}, {
  value: "High",
  value2: "High"
}];

	Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object.	Accessor

Method Details

addHandles Inherited Method addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey) Inherited from Accessor

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,
  () => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;
  },
  { once: true }
);

this.addHandles(handle);

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();

Parameters

handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle []

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

groupKey *

optional

Key identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.

clone Method clone(){this}

Creates a deep clone of this object. Any properties that store values by reference will be assigned copies of the referenced values on the cloned instance.

Returns

Type	Description
this	A deep clone of the class instance that invoked this method.

fromJSON Method fromJSON(json){*}static

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter

json Object

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns

Type	Description
*	Returns a new instance of this class.

hasHandles Inherited Method hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean} Inherited from Accessor

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter

groupKey *

optional

A group key.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns `true` if a named group of handles exist.

Example

// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
  obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}

removeHandles Inherited Method removeHandles(groupKey) Inherited from Accessor

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Parameter

groupKey *

optional

A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.

Example

obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");

toJSON Method toJSON(){Object}

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.

Returns

Type	Description
Object	The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
