ApplicationBase

A class designed to handle common tasks of configurable ArcGIS Web Applications.

Purpose

The purpose of this ApplicationBase is to handle fetching and managing ArcGIS Online information used in configurable applications. The ApplicationBase queries and maintains:

  • Portal information
  • User information
  • Item data (webscenes, webmaps, group information, group items)
  • Configured application information
  • URL parameters

The ApplicationBase will handle fetching this information, store it, and perform setup when necessary.

API

This is the API for the ApplicationBase class. ApplicationBase.js

Constructor

new ApplicationBase(ApplicationConfig: ApplicationConfig, ApplicationBaseConfig: ApplicationBaseConfig)

Constructor Options

See ApplicationConfig and ApplicationBaseConfig for more information.

ApplicationConfig

property description type default
appid Application ID for querying application configuration string ""
group Group ID for querying a portal group string or string[] ""
webscene WebScene ID for querying a webscene string or string[] "19faa71a3bf6468cae35b4fce9393a7d"
webmap WebMap ID for querying a webmap string or string[] ""
title Title of the application string ""
portalUrl URL to the ArcGIS Portal string "https://www.arcgis.com"
oauthappid oAuth authentication ID string ""
proxyUrl Enter the url to the proxy if needed by the application. See the Using the proxy page help topic for details. string ""
units Application measurement units string ""
helperServices Object containing URLs to various helper services HelperServices null

ApplicationBaseConfig

property description type default
webscene.default The default id to query when not set string ""
webscene.fetch When true the application will query for a webscene Boolean true
webscene.fetchMultiple When true the application will query for multiple webscenes if necessary Boolean true
webmap.default The default id to query when not set string ""
webmap.fetch When true the application will query for a webmap Boolean false
webmap.fetchMultiple When true the application will query for multiple webmaps if necessary Boolean true
group.fetchInfo When true the application will query for a group's information Boolean false
group.fetchItems When true the application will query for a group's items Boolean false
group.itemParams Defines query paramaters for fetching group items itemParams {}
group.fetchMultiple When true the application will query for multiple groups if necessary Boolean true
portal.fetch When true the application will query arcgis.com for default settings for helper services, units etc. If you want to use custom settings for units or any of the helper services set this to false then enter default values for any items you need using the helper services and units properties. Boolean true
urlParams Defines which URL parameters should be captured and stored into the config for use within the application String[] See below
environment.webTierSecurity Support sending credentials with AJAX requests to specific domains. This will allow editing of feature services secured with web-tier authentication Boolean false
environment.isEsri Most users will not need to modify this value. For Esri hosting environments only. Will automatically create a portalUrl and proxyUrl for the application. Only set this is to true if the app is going to be stored on Esri's hosting servers. If you are using your own custom hosted portal, set the portalUrl in instead of setting this to true. Boolean false

itemParams

See PortalQueryParams

Example:

  "start": 0
}
