esri/widgets/Widget
The base class for the SDK's out-of-the-box widgets. Each widget's presentation is separate from its properties, methods, and data.
The properties and methods of each widget are handled in its viewModel
property, which is an
Accessor-based class. Since each view model class extends Accessor,
all properties on the widget can be accessed using the methods outlined in the
Widget viewModel pattern guide topic.

Property Details
-
container
container String |HTMLElement
-
The ID or node representing the DOM element containing the widget. This property can only be set once. The following examples are all valid use case when working with widgets.
Examples// Create the HTML div element programmatically at runtime and set to the widget's container const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({ view: view, container: document.createElement("div") }); // Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view view.ui.add(basemapGallery, { position: "top-right" });
// Specify an already-defined HTML div element in the widget's container const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({ view: view, container: basemapGalleryDiv }); // Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view view.ui.add(basemapGallery, { position: "top-right" }); // HTML markup <body> <div id="viewDiv"></div> <div id="basemapGalleryDiv"></div> </body>
// Specify the widget while adding to the view's UI const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({ view: view }); // Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view view.ui.add(basemapGallery, { position: "top-right" });
-
icon
icon String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27Widget since 4.2, icon added at 4.27. -
Icon which represents the widget. It is typically used when the widget is controlled by another one (e.g. in the Expand widget).
- Default Value:null
- See also
-
id
id String
-
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.
-
visible
visible Boolean
-
Indicates whether the widget is visible.
If
false
, the widget will no longer be rendered in the web document. This may affect the layout of other elements or widgets in the document. For example, if this widget is the first of three widgets associated to the upper right hand corner of the view UI, then the other widgets will reposition when this widget is made invisible. For more information, refer to the css display value of"none"
.- Default Value:true
Example// Hides the widget in the view widget.visible = false;

Method Details
-
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 4.25. -
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();
ParametershandleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.
groupKey *optionalKey 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.
-
classes
classes(classNames){String}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7Widget since 4.2, classes added at 4.7. -
A utility method used for building the value for a widget's
class
property. This aids in simplifying css class setup.ReturnsType Description String The computed class name. Example// .tsx syntax showing how to set css classes while rendering the widget render() { const dynamicClasses = { [css.flip]: this.flip, [css.primary]: this.primary }; return ( <div class={classes(css.root, css.mixin, dynamicClasses)} /> ); }
-
hasHandles
InheritedMethodhasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from AccessorSince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25. -
Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key.
ReturnsType 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"); }
-
isFulfilled
isFulfilled(){Boolean}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.19Widget since 4.2, isFulfilled added at 4.19. -
isFulfilled()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is fulfilled (either resolved or rejected). If it is fulfilled,true
will be returned.ReturnsType Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected).
-
isRejected
isRejected(){Boolean}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.19Widget since 4.2, isRejected added at 4.19. -
isRejected()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is rejected. If it is rejected,true
will be returned.ReturnsType Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been rejected.
-
isResolved
isResolved(){Boolean}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.19Widget since 4.2, isResolved added at 4.19. -
isResolved()
may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is resolved. If it is resolved,true
will be returned.ReturnsType Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved.
-
on
on(type, listener){Object}
-
Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.
ParametersReturnsType Description Object Returns an event handler with a remove()
method that should be called to stop listening for the event(s).Property Type Description remove Function When called, removes the listener from the event. Exampleview.on("click", function(event){ // event is the event handle returned after the event fires. console.log(event.mapPoint); });
-
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.24Widget since 4.2, own added at 4.24. Deprecated since 4.28 Use addHandles() instead. -
Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the widget. The handles will be removed when the widget is destroyed.
const handle = reactiveUtils.when( () => !view.updating, () => { wkidSelect.disabled = false; }, { once: true} ); this.own(handle); // Handle gets removed when the widget is destroyed.
ParameterhandleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]Handles marked for removal once the widget is destroyed.
-
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 4.25. -
Removes a group of handles owned by the object.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.
Exampleobj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group obj.removeHandles("handle-group"); obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
-
Schedules widget rendering. This method is useful for changes affecting the UI.
-
when
when(callback, errback){Promise}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.19Widget since 4.2, when added at 4.19. -
when()
may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: acallback
function and anerrback
function. Thecallback
executes when the instance of the class loads. Theerrback
executes if the instance of the class fails to load.ParametersReturnsType Description Promise Returns a new Promise for the result of callback
.Example// Although this example uses the BasemapGallery widget, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way let bmGallery = new BasemapGallery(); bmGallery.when(function(){ // This function will execute once the promise is resolved }, function(error){ // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error });
