TopFilter

AMD: require(["esri/rest/support/TopFilter"], (TopFilter) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import TopFilter from "@arcgis/core/rest/support/TopFilter.js";
Class: esri/rest/support/TopFilter
Inheritance: TopFilter Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20

This class defines the top filter parameters for executing top features queries for features from a FeatureLayer. This parameter must be set on the TopFeaturesQuery object when calling any of top query methods on a FeatureLayer. It is used to set the groupByFields, orderByFields, and count criteria used the top features query. For example, you can use FeatureLayer's queryTopFeatures() method to query the most populous three counties in each state of the United States.

// query the top three most populous counties from each state.
// Results will be ordered based the population of each county in descending order
// top query will run against all features available in the service
const query = new TopFeaturesQuery({
  outFields: ["State, Pop_total, County"],
  topFilter: new TopFilter({
    topCount: 3,
    groupByFields: ["State"],
    orderByFields: ["Pop_total DESC"]
  })
});
featureLayer.queryTopFeatures(query)
  .then(function(response){
     // returns a feature set with features containing the most populous
     // three counties in each state ordered by the number of population.
     // The following attributes are returned as well: State, Pop_total, County
   });
