Class: Field
[ AMD Module Require | Legacy Module Require ]
dojo.require("esri.layers.Field")
Description
(Added at v2.0)
Information about each field in a layer. Field objects must be constructed when creating a FeatureLayer from a client-side feature collection. See the documentation of the FeatureLayer constructor for more details. This class allows you to define the schema of each field in the FeatureLayer. Note that you do not need to add fields to the constructor of a FeatureLayer loaded from a service since they are already defined by the service. See the FeatureCollection sample for an example of working with this class.Samples
