Example:

// Once the layer loads, set the view's extent to the layer's fullextent
layer.when(function(){
  view.extent = layer.fullExtent;
});

// At minimum, a valid Bing key is required to create a Bing maps layer.
var bing = new BingMapsLayer({
  key: "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bing maps key ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
});

Fetches all the data for the layer.

when(callback, errback){Promise}inherited

when() may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: a callback function and an errback function. The callback executes when the instance of the class loads. The errback executes if the instance of the class fails to load.

Parameters:

callback Function optional The function to call when the promise resolves.

errback Function optional The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns:

Type	Description

var view = new MapView();
view.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
});
