Properties
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| allowGeometryUpdates | Boolean value indicating whether the geometry of the features in the layer can be edited. |
| barrierWeight | Optional weight of features in AnnotationLayers and DimensionLayers when considered as barriers to labeling. If not set but required, the default value is assumed to be High. Valid values:
|
| capabilities | A comma separated list of supported capabilities, e.g. Query,Editing. |
| copyrightText | String value for the copyright text information for the layer. |
| currentVersion | Numeric value indicating the server version of the layer. |
| defaultVisibility | Boolean value indicating whether the layer's visibility is turned on. |
| definitionEditor | Stores interactive filters. |
| definitionExpression | SQL-based definition expression string that narrows the data to be displayed in the layer. Must be one of the following values:
|
| definitionGeometry | An extent object used to filter features for StreamLayer. Only features that intersect the extent are displayed. |
| description | String value of the layer as defined in the map service. |
| displayField | A string value that summarizes the feature. |
| displayFilterInfo | Display filters provide information about which features should be rendered on the display. |
| drawingInfo | Contains the drawing and labeling information. |
| extent | An object defining the rectangular area. Must be one of the following values:
|
| featureReduction | An object defining how to aggregate dense point data to clusters or bins. |
| fieldOverrides[] | The layer-specific overrides of field properties. Used by SubtypeGroupLayer to modify field information for each subtype. Any field missing from this array should be hidden. |
| fields[] | An array of field objects containing information about the attribute fields for the feature collection or layer. |
| floorInfo | Contains floor-awareness information for the layer. |
| geometryType | A string defining the type of geometry. Possible geometry types are: esriGeometryPoint, esriGeometryMultipoint, esriGeometryPolyline, esriGeometryPolygon, and esriGeometryEnvelope. |
| globalIdField | The unique identifier for a feature or table row within a geodatabase. |
| hasAttachments | Indicates whether attachments should be loaded for the layer. |
| hasM | Boolean value indicating whether layer has M values. |
| hasStaticData | Boolean value indicating whether data changes. True if it does not. |
| hasZ | Boolean value indicating whether layer has Z values. |
| htmlPopupType | String value indicating the HTML popup type. Valid values:
|
| id | The identifier assigned to the layer. |
| isDataVersioned | Boolean value indicating whether the data is versioned. |
| maxRecordCount | Numeric value indicating tbe maximum number of records that will be returned at once for a query. |
| maxScale | Integer property used to determine the maximum scale at which the layer is displayed. |
| minScale | Integer property used to determine the minimum scale at which the layer is displayed. |
| name | Contains a unique name for the layer that can be displayed in a legend. |
| objectIdField | Indicates the name of the object ID field in the dataset. |
| orderBy[] | An array of orderByField objects specifying the feature display order. Features can be sorted in ascending or descending order of a numeric or date field only. If ascending, features with smaller values will be drawn on top of features with larger values. For date values, ascending order means features with older dates will be drawn on top of features with recent dates. If descending, the sort behavior is reversed. When this property is not defined, features are displayed in the order in which they are received by the client. |
| overrideSymbols | Dictates whether a client can support having an end user modify symbols on individual features. |
| rangeInfos[] | Indicates range information |
| source | An object indicating the layerDefinition's layer source. |
| spatialReference | An object containing the WKID or WKT identifying the spatial reference of the layer's geometry. |
| supportedQueryFormats | String value indicating the output formats that are supported in a query. |
| supportsAdvancedQueries | Boolean value indicating whether the layer supports orderByFields in a query operation. |
| supportsAttachmentsByUploadId | Boolean value indicating whether the layer supports uploading attachments with the Uploads operation. This can then be used in the Add Attachment and Update Attachment operations. |
| supportsCalculate | Boolean value indicating whether the layer supports the Calculate REST operation when updating features. |
| supportsRollbackOnFailureParameter | Boolean value indicating whether the layer supports rolling back edits made on a feature layer if some of the edits fail. |
| supportsStatistics | Boolean value indicating whether feature layer query operations support statistical functions. |
| supportsValidateSql | Boolean value indicating whether the validateSQL operation is supported across a feature service layer. |
| templates[] | A property of the layer definition when there are no types defined; otherwise, templates are defined as properties of the types. |
| timeInfo | An object that defines properties to enable time on a layer or table. Refer to the individual layerDefinition properties to see which layer types support this. |
| type | Indicates whether the layerDefinition applies to a Feature Layer or a Table. Valid values:
|
| typeIdField | Contains the name of the field holding the type ID for the features. |
| types[] | Contains information about an attribute field. |
| visibilityField | String value indicating the attribute field that is used to control the visibility of a feature. If applicable, when rendering a feature the client should use this field to control visibility. The field's values are 0 = do not display, 1 = display. |
