require(["esri/widgets/Attribution"], function(Attribution) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/widgets/Attribution
Inheritance: Attribution Widget Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0

The Attribution displays attribution text for the layers in a map. The text displayed for the layers is either a list of data providers or sources as defined in the layer's custom attribution data, or the copyright text. This widget automatically updates based on layer visibility and map extent and displays a single line of attribution that can be expanded with a single click to view all data sources.

An instance of the Attribution widget is available in every MapView and SceneView by default. See DefaultUI for more details.

attribution

Esri requires that when you use an ArcGIS Online basemap in your app, the map must include Esri attribution and you must be licensed to use the content. For detailed guidelines on working with attribution, please visit the official attribution in your app documentation. For information on terms of use, see the Terms of Use FAQ.

For information about gaining full control of widget styles, see the Styling topic.
