require(["esri/widgets/Feature"], function(Feature) { /* code goes here */ });

Class: esri/widgets/Feature

Inheritance: Feature Widget Accessor

Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7

The Feature widget displays a graphic according to its PopupTemplate. This widget is useful in instances where you want to display information about a feature but without the use of a Popup.

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

Example:

// Create graphic

var graphic = new Graphic({
  geometry: view.center,
  popupTemplate: {
    content: [{
      // add popupTemplate content
    }]
  }
});

var feature = new Feature({
  graphic: graphic,
  map: map,
  spatialReference: spatialReference
});

view.ui.add(feature, "top-right");

container String|HTMLElement inherited

The ID or node representing the DOM element containing the widget. This property can only be set once. The following examples are all valid use cases when working with widgets.

Examples:

// Create the HTML div element programmatically at runtime and set to the widget's container
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
  view: view,
  container: document.createElement("div")
});

// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
  position: "top-right"
});

// Specify an already-defined HTML div element in the widget's container

const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
  view: view,
  container: basemapGalleryDiv
});

// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
  position: "top-right"
});

// HTML markup
<body>
  <div id="viewDiv"></div>
  <div id="basemapGalleryDiv"></div>
</body>

// Specify the widget while adding to the view's UI
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
  view: view
});

// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
  position: "top-right"
