StreamLayerView

Class: esri/views/layers/StreamLayerView
Inheritance: StreamLayerView LayerView Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.4

Represents the LayerView of a StreamLayer after it has been added to a Map in either a MapView or SceneView.

The StreamLayerView is responsible for rendering a StreamLayer's features as graphics in the View. The methods in the StreamLayerView provide developers with the ability to query and highlight graphics in the view. See the code snippets in the methods below for examples of how to access client-side graphics from the view.

The StreamLayer extends the FeatureLayer to add the ability to connect to a stream of data using HTML5 WebSockets. It connects to a server that emits geographic features continuously. While the FeatureLayer is used to map relatively static data, the stream layer is suitable when you would like to map dynamic streams of data that are unbounded and continuous. When a StreamLayer is added to a map, users are able to see any real-time updates pushed out by the server. For more information, read the documentation of StreamLayer.

WebSockets are a feature of HTML5. Most browsers are supporting WebSockets in recent versions. However, they are not supported by all versions of all browsers. To get more information about WebSockets and to test if a browser supports WebSockets, visit WebSocket.org.

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:
TypeDescription
PromiseReturns 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
});
