require(["esri/portal/Portal"], function(Portal) { /* code goes here */ });
esri/portal/Portal
The Portal class is part of the ArcGIS Enterprise portal that provides a way to build applications that work with content from ArcGIS Online or an ArcGIS Enterprise portal. ArcGIS Enterprise is software from Esri that customers can deploy either on-premises or in the cloud. ArcGIS Online is Esri's Software as a Service offering that represents GIS as a Service and is implemented using the same technology as ArcGIS Enterprise.
The Portal API allows application developers to work with users, groups and content hosted within ArcGIS Online or within an ArcGIS Enterprise portal. The API allows developers to build web, mobile, and desktop applications that support sharing and collaboration using web maps. Organizational developers can also use the API to build custom applications for their users.
The Portal class provides a view of the portal as seen by the current user, anonymous or logged in. Includes information such as the name, logo, featured items and supported protocols (http vs https) for this portal. If the user is not logged in, this call will return the default view of the portal. If the user is logged in, the view of the portal returned will be specific to the organization that the user belongs to. The default view of the portal is dependent on the culture of the user that is obtained from the users profile.
The when() method on the Portal instance can be called to execute processes that may only run after the Portal is loaded.
// load the Portal and PortalQueryParams modules
require(["esri/portal/Portal",
"esri/portal/PortalQueryParams",
"dojo/domReady!"], function(Portal, PortalQueryParams) {
portal = new Portal();
// Setting authMode to immediate signs the user in once loaded
portal.authMode = "immediate";
// Once portal is loaded, user signed in
portal.load().then(function() {
console.log(portal);
// Create query parameters for the portal search
// This object autocasts as new PortalQueryParams()
var queryParams = {
query: "owner:" + portal.user.username,
sortField: "numViews",
sortOrder: "desc",
num: 20
};
// Query the items based on the queryParams created from portal above
portal.queryItems(queryParams).then(createGallery);
});
});
