  };
});

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor

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

excludedBarColor

Property
excludedBarColor Colorautocast
Autocasts from Number[]|String|Object

Sets the color of the histogram bars that are excluded based on the specified rangeType. For example, when a rangeType of between is used, all bars not between the slider thumbs will be rendered with the color set here.

To change the style of histogram bars representing included data based on the rangeType, use the includedBarColor property.

Default Value:#d7e5f0
See also
Example
slider.excludedBarColor = "black";

icon

Property
icon String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27 HistogramRangeSlider since 4.12, icon added at 4.27.

Icon displayed in the widget's button.

Default Value:"arrow-double-horizontal"
See also

id

Inherited
Property
id String
Inherited from Widget

The unique ID assigned to the widget when the widget is created. If not set by the developer, it will default to the container ID, or if that is not present then it will be automatically generated.

includedBarColor

Property
includedBarColor Colorautocast
Autocasts from Number[]|String|Object

Sets the color of the histogram bars that are included in the specified rangeType. For example, when a rangeType of between is used, all bars between the slider thumbs will be rendered with the color set here.

To change the style of histogram bars representing excluded data based on the rangeType, use the excludedBarColor property.

Default Value:#599dd4
See also
Example
slider.includedBarColor = "green";

label

Property
label String

The widget's default label. This label displays when it is used within another widget, such as the Expand or LayerList widgets.

labelFormatFunction

Property
labelFormatFunction LabelFormatter

A function used to format labels. Overrides the default label formatter.

By default labels are formatted in the following way:

  • When the data range is less than 10 ((max - min) < 10), labels are rounded based on the value set in the precision property.
  • When the data range is larger than 10, labels display with a precision of no more than two decimal places, though actual slider thumb values will maintain the precision specified in precision.

Use this property to override the behavior defined above.

Examples
// For thumb values, rounds each label to whole numbers.
// Note the actual value of the thumb continues to be stored
// based on the indicated data `precision` despite this formatting
slider.labelFormatFunction = function(value, type) {
  return (type === "value") ? value.toFixed(0) : value;
}
// Format thumb values as dates
slider.labelFormatFunction = function(value, type) {
  return new Date(value).toLocaleDateString();
}

max

Property
max Number

The maximum value or upper bound of the slider. If the largest slider value in the constructor is greater than the maxValue set in this property, then the maxValue will update to match the largest slider value.

Example
slider.max = 150;

min

Property
min Number

The minimum value or lower bound of the slider. If the smallest slider value in the constructor is greater than the minValue set in this property, then the minValue will update to match the smallest slider value.

Example
slider.min = -150;

precision

Property
precision Number

Defines how slider thumb values should be rounded. This number indicates the number of decimal places slider thumb values should round to when they have been moved.

This value also indicates the precision of thumb labels when the data range (max - min) is less than 10.

When the data range is larger than 10, labels display with a precision of no more than two decimal places, though actual slider thumb values will maintain the precision specified in this property.

For example, given the default precision of 4, and the following slider configuration, The label of the thumb will display two decimal places, but the precision of the actual thumb value will not be lost even when the user slides or moves the thumb.

const slider = new HistogramRangeSliderViewModel({
  min: 20,
  max: 100,  // data range of 80
  values: [50.4331],
  // thumb label will display 50.43
  // thumb value will maintain precision, so
  // value will remain at 50.4331
});

If the user manually enters a value that has a higher precision than what's indicated by this property, the precision of that thumb value will be maintained until the thumb is moved by the user. At that point, the value will be rounded according to the indicated precision.

Keep in mind this property rounds thumb values and shouldn't be used exclusively for formatting purposes. To format thumb labels, use the labelFormatFunction property.

Default Value:4
Example
histogramRangeSlider.precision = 7;

rangeType

Property
rangeType String

Indicates how the histogram bins should be rendered as the user slides the thumbs. By default, blue bars indicate data bins included in the range. Gray bars indicate data bins excluded from the range. These colors can be customized with the includedBarColor and excludedBarColor properties.

This property also determines the SQL where clause generated in generateWhereClause() for filtering purposes. The value set here determines the number of values allowed on the slider.

See the table below for a description and requirements of all possible values. value1 refers to the value of the first thumb position. value2 refers to the value of the final thumb position, if applicable.

Possible Value Number of Values Where clause
equal 1 ${field} = ${value1}
not-equal 1 ${field} <> ${value1}
less-than 1 ${field} < ${value1}
greater-than 1 ${field} > ${value1}
at-most 1 ${field} <= ${value1}
at-least 1 ${field} >= ${value1}
between 2 ${field} BETWEEN ${value1} AND ${value2}
not-between 2 ${field} NOT BETWEEN ${value1} AND ${value2}

Possible Values:"equal" |"not-equal" |"less-than" |"greater-than" |"at-most" |"at-least" |"between" |"not-between"

Example
// renders the histogram so that all bins between
// the two handles are shaded with a blue color
slider.rangeType = "between";

// filters the layer view based on the configuration
// of the slider
layerView.filter = {
  where: slider.generateWhereClause("POPULATION")
}

standardDeviation

Property
standardDeviation Number

Indicates the standard deviation of the dataset. When set, computed dataLines will render on the histogram at the location of the given standard deviation above and below the average.

Example
// stddev returned from summaryStatistics
slider.standardDeviation = stats.stddev;

standardDeviationCount

Property
standardDeviationCount Number

Indicates the number of standard deviation lines to render on the histogram from the [average].

Default Value:1
Example
slider.standardDeviationCount = 2;

values

Property
values Number[]

An array of either one or two numbers representing thumb positions on the slider. The number of values that should be indicated here depends on the associated rangeType.

See also
Example
const slider = new HistogramRangeSlider({
  min: 20,
  max: 100,  // data range of 80
  values: [50.4331],
  rangeType: "at-least"
  container: "sliderDiv"
});
