This sample demonstrates how to add the Editor component to a web application. Once the application loads, click on the template to add and draw a feature's geometry. Once the feature sketch is complete, update any necessary attribute information. To create more than one feature at a time, continue adding new geometries while updating their associated attributes. Once all feature creates are added, click Create and any feature creates will be applied back to the feature service.
Select a feature using the Editor's select tool to update an existing feature. The corresponding form will display for any editable fields.
For additional information on the Editor and any limitations, please refer to the Editor API reference documentation.
How it works
The application loads a webmap and iterates through all of its editable layers. Any editable layer is added to the Editor. Based on the underlying service's editing permissions, the Editor component automatically recognizes the permissions set on these layers and restricts the editing capabilities based on the service's permissions. In addition, the webmap contains formInfo that contains the corresponding form template information set on the layers. The template takes an array of field elements that specify what values should be updated by the Editor.
Based on the editing functionality set on a feature layer, you can select an existing feature to update or create new feature(s). The widget will take whatever editing capabilities are set on the service.
It is not possible to override read-only permissions set on the feature service. For example, if a service is set up to restrict edits on a layer, it is not possible to override these restrictions via the API to allow them.
Add a map component that references a webmap with editable layers and an Editor component to enable editing capabilities.
