Highlights the given feature(s).

Parameter:

target Graphic|Graphic[]|Number|Number[] optional The feature(s) to highlight. When passing a graphic or array of graphics, each feature must have a valid objectID. You may alternatively pass one or more objectIDs as a single number or an array.

Returns:

Type	Description

queryExtent(params){Promise<Object>}

Executes a Query against features available for drawing in the layer view and returns the Extent of features that satisfy the query. Valid only for hosted feature services on arcgis.com and for ArcGIS Server 10.3.1 and later. If query parameters are not provided, the extent and count of all features available for drawing are returned.

To query for the extent of features directly from a Feature Service rather than those visible in the view, you must use the FeatureLayer.queryExtent() method.

Known Limitations

• Queries with outStatistics and any other parameter involving statistics are currently not supported in 3D SceneViews.
• Spatial queries are executed against quantized geometries in the layer view. The resolution of layer view geometries, is only as precise as the scale resolution of the view. Therefore, the results of the same query could be different when executed at different scales. This also means that geometries returned from any layer view query will likewise be at the same scale resolution of the view.
• Spatial queries have the same limitations as those listed in the projection engine documentation.
• Spatial queries are not currently supported if the FeatureLayerView has any of the following SpatialReferences:
  • GDM 2000 (4742) – Malaysia
  • Gusterberg (Ferro) (8042) – Austria/Czech Republic
  • ISN2016 (8086) - Iceland
  • SVY21 (4757) - Singapore

Parameter:

params Query autocast optional Autocasts from Object Specifies the attributes and spatial filter of the query. When no parameters are passed to this method, all features in the client are returned. To only return features visible in the view, set the geometry parameter in the query object to the view's extent.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise<Object>	When resolved, returns the extent and count of the features that satisfy the input query. See the object specification table below for details. Property Type Description count Number The number of features that satisfy the input query. extent Extent The extent of the features that satisfy the query.

Example:

var layer = new FeatureLayer({
  url: fsUrl  // points to a Feature Service layer url
});

view.whenLayerView(layer).then(function(layerView){
  layerView.watch("updating", function(val){
    if(!val){  // wait for the layer view to finish updating
      layerView.queryExtent().then(function(results){
        view.goTo(results.extent);  // go to the extent of all the graphics in the layer view
      });
    }
  });
});

queryFeatureCount(params){Promise<Number>}

Executes a Query against features available for drawing in the layer view and returns the number of features that satisfy the query. If query parameters are not provided, the count of all features available for drawing is returned.

To query for the count of features directly from a Feature Service rather than those visible in the view, you must use the FeatureLayer.queryFeatureCount() method.

Known Limitations

• Queries with outStatistics and any other parameter involving statistics are currently not supported in 3D SceneViews.
• Spatial queries are executed against quantized geometries in the layer view. The resolution of layer view geometries, is only as precise as the scale resolution of the view.

Parameter:

params Query autocast optional Autocasts from Object Specifies the attributes and spatial filter of the query. When no parameters are passed to this method, all features in the client are returned. To only return features visible in the view, set the geometry parameter in the query object to the view's extent.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise<Number>	When resolved, returns the number of features satisfying the query.

Examples:

var layer = new FeatureLayer({
  url: fsUrl  // points to a Feature Service layer url
});

view.on("click", function(event){

  var query = new Query();
  query.geometry = event.mapPoint;  // obtained from a view click event

  console.log(count);  // prints the total number of client-side graphics to the console
});

queryFeatures(params){Promise<FeatureSet>}

Executes a Query against features available for drawing in the layer view and returns a FeatureSet. If query parameters are not provided, all features available for drawing are returned.

To execute a query against all the features in a Feature Service rather than only those in the client, you must use the FeatureLayer.queryFeatures() method.

when(callback, errback){Promise}inherited

Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.6

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
Promise	Returns a new promise for the result of callback that may be used to chain additional functions.

Example:

// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use then() in the same way
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
});
