ArcGIS API for JavaScript ^3.26

CSV Layer

New CSVLayer class to easily display data from CSV files on a map. See the CSV Layer sample for an example of how to use this new layer. If CSV files are not on the same domain as your website, a CORS enabled server or a proxy is required.

Query Enhancements

New capabilities when querying against a layer in a hosted feature service in ArcGIS Online:

• Get features within some distance of a query geometry with Query.distance and Query.units.
• New QueryTask.executeForExtent method to return only the bounding box of a query result. FeatureLayer.queryExtent method was also added, as well as associated event query-extent-complete.
• Paging support with new Query.start and Query.num properties.

Continuous Color

Renderers' colorInfo property and setColorInfo method now support more than two colors as well as a stops property that allows developers to associate a specific color with a data value. The legend widget also now supports renderers with colorInfo. Two samples have been updated to use this new functionality:

• Color ramp symbols
• Color ramp with rotation and proportional symbols

In addition to continuous color ramps, the esri/Color module was added at this release. It is a convenient wrapper around dojo/_base/Color and has all options supported by dojo/_base/Color.

Additional Changes and Enhancements

• Edit tools: new textSymbolEditorHolder option to specify container for text symbol editing components.
• All layers have a loadError property indicating if an error occurred while trying to retrieve layer metadata.
• LocateButton.graphicsLayer option to specify the graphics layer where the associated graphic should be added.
• Map has a new before-unload event.
• All classes' on() method supports listening to multiple events with a single call. The first argument to on() should be a string with event names separated by commas. The second argument is still the function to run when an event happens.
• dojoConfig.useDeferredInstrumentation is now true by default. This prints unhandled errors that occur somewhere in the lifecycle of an asynchronous task to the browser console instead of hiding them.

Additional Resources on GitHub

New repository on GitHub with TypeScript definitions for the JS API as well as the jshint options file used by the JS API team.
