BasemapLayerList | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30

The BasemapLayerList widget provides a way to display a list of Basemap layers and switch on/off their visibility. Base layers and reference layers are divided into separate sections. When editing is enabled, layers can be reordered by dragging and dropping between the lists and the title can be edited.

BasemapLayerList is very similar to our LayerList widget. See below samples for code inspiration:
Sample - LayerList widget
Sample - LayerList widget with actions

Example

let basemapLayerList = new BasemapLayerList({
  view: view
});
// Adds the widget below other elements in the top left corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapLayerList, {
  position: "top-left"
});
