Property Overview

Property Details

declaredClassStringreadonly inherited

Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

featureGraphic

The associated feature containing the editable attributes. A common way to access this is via the MapView or SceneView's hitTest() method.

Example:

// Check if a user clicked on an incident feature.
view.on("click", function(event) {
  view.hitTest(event).then(function(response) {
    // Display the attributes of selected incident feature in the form
    if (response.results[0].graphic && response.results[0].graphic.layer.id == "incidentsLayer") {
       formVM.feature = result.results[0].graphic
    }
  });
});

fieldConfigFieldConfig[]

Array of field configuration objects. This is where you specify what fields to display and how you wish to display them.

When not set, all fields except for editor, globalID, and objectID fields will be included, otherwise it is up to the developer to set the right field(s) to override and display.

Example:

fieldConfig: [
  {
    name: "Incident_desc",
    options: {
      label: "Description"
    }
  },
  {
    name: "Incident_Address",
    options: {
      label: "Contact"
    }
  }]

inputFieldInputField[]readonly

The input fields to be rendered by the FeatureForm widget.

layerFeatureLayer

Layer containing the editable feature attributes. If this layer is not specified, it is the same as the graphic's layer.

stateStringreadonly

The widget's state. Possible values are in the table below.

Value	Description
ready	Dependencies are met and has valid property values.
disabled	Dependencies are missing and cannot provide valid inputs.

Default Value:disabled

Emits an event on the instance. This method should only be used when creating subclasses of this class.

Parameters:

type String The name of the event.

event Object The event payload.

getValues(){Object}

Returns all of the field values, regardless of whether or not they were updated.

Returns:

Type	Description
Object	An object of key-value pairs of field names with their values.

• submit event

• submit() method

Example:

function updateFeature() {
  // Get the updated field values
  const attributes = formVM.getValues();
  // Call applyEdits on the featurelayer
  layer.applyEdits({
    // Pass in the updated field values
    updateFeatures: [{ attributes }]
  });
}

hasEventListener(type){Boolean}

Indicates whether there is an event listener on the instance that matches the provided event name.

Parameter:

type String The name of the event.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns true if the class supports the input event.

on(type, listener){Object}

Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.

Parameters:

type String The name of event to listen for.

listener Function The function to call when the event is fired.

Returns:

Type	Description
Object	Returns an event handler with a remove() method that can be called to stop listening for the event. Property Type Description remove Function When called, removes the listener from the event.

• dojo/on

Example:

view.on("click", function(event){
  // event is the event handle returned after the event fires.
  console.log(event.mapPoint);
});

submit()

Fires the submit event.

Example:

// Listen for when 'submit' is called.
// Once it is fired, update the feature.
formVM.on("submit", updateFeature);

// When the DOM's button (btnUpdate) is clicked,
// Update attributes of the selected feature.
document.getElementById("btnUpdate").onclick = function() {
  // Fires feature form's submit event.
  formVM.submit();
}

Event Details

submit

Fires when the submit() method is called. Call FeatureLayer.applyEdits() method to update a feature's attributes.

Properties:

valid String[] The valid field names.

invalid String[] The invalid field names.

values Object An object of key-value pairs of field names with all of their values, regardless of whether or not they were updated.

See also:

Example:

// Listen to the feature form's submit event.
featureForm.on("submit", function(){
  if (editFeature) {
    // Grab updated attributes from the form.
    const updated = featureForm.getValues();

    // Loop through updated attributes and assign
    // the updated values to feature attributes.
    Object.keys(updated).forEach(function(name) {
      editFeature.attributes[name] = updated[name];
    });

    // Setup the applyEdits parameter with updates.
    const edits = {
      updateFeatures: [editFeature]
    };
    applyEdits(edits);
  }
});

value-change

Fires when a field value is updated.

Properties:

layer FeatureLayer The associated feature layer.

feature Graphic The associated feature.

fieldName String The updated field.

value Number | String | null The updated field value.

valid Boolean When true, the value conforms to the field's definition.
