Class: esri/widgets/smartMapping/ClassedSizeSlider
Inheritance: ClassedSizeSlider SmartMappingSliderBase Widget Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.12

The ClassedSizeSlider widget is designed for authoring and exploring data-driven visualizations in any layer that can be rendered with size in a ClassBreaksRenderer. At a minimum you must set the breaks property of the widget. The breaks are used to set the slider's thumbs.

See the image below for a summary of the configurable options available on this slider.

ClassedSizeSlider with annotations

The fromRendererResult method can be used to conveniently create this slider from the result of the createClassBreaksRenderer method.

const params = {
  layer: layer,
  basemap: map.basemap,
  valueExpression: "( $feature.POP_POVERTY / $feature.TOTPOP_CY ) * 100",
  view: view,
  classificationMethod: "equal-interval"
};

let rendererResult = null;

sizeRendererCreator
  .createClassBreaksRenderer(params)
  .then(function(response) {
    rendererResult = response;
    layer.renderer = response.renderer;

    return histogram({
      layer: layer,
      valueExpression: params.valueExpression,
      view: view,
      numBins: 70
    });
  })
   .then(function(histogramResult) {
     const slider = ClassedSizeSlider.fromRendererResult(rendererResult, histogramResult);
     slider.container = "slider";
   })
   .catch(function(error) {
     console.log("there was an error: ", error);
   });

This slider should be used to update the classBreaks in a ClassBreaksRenderer. It is the responsibility of the app developer to set up event listeners on this slider that update the breaks of the appropriate renderer.

// when the user slides the handle(s), update the renderer
// with the updated class breaks

slider.on(["thumb-change", "thumb-drag"], function() {
  const renderer = layer.renderer.clone();
  renderer.classBreaks = slider.updateClassBreakInfos( renderer.classBreaks );
  layer.renderer = renderer;
});

Property Details

breaks Object[]

An array of class breaks with associated sizes. The size mapped to each break should be used to update the renderer of a layer. A minimum of two breaks must be provided to the slider.

Properties:
size Number

The size in points of the symbol representing features with values within the given min and max.

max Number

The max value of the break. The max of each break should match the min value of the break directly above it.

min Number

The min value of the break. The min of each break should match the max value of the break directly below it.

Example:
slider.breaks = [{
  min: 0,
  max: 20,
  size: 6
}, {
  min: 20,
  max: 40,
  size: 12
}, {
  min: 40,
  max: 60,
  size: 24
}, {
  min: 60,
  max: 80,
  size: 48
}];

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"
});
declaredClass Stringreadonly inherited

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

destroyed Boolean inherited

When true, this property indicates whether the widget has been destroyed.

histogramConfig HistogramConfig inherited

The Histogram associated with the data represented on the slider. The bins are typically generated using the histogram statistics function.

See also:
Example:
histogram({
  layer: featureLayer,
  field: "fieldName",
  numBins: 30
}).then(function(histogramResult){
  // set the histogram to the slider
  slider.histogramConfig = {
    bins: histogramResult.bins
  };
});

The unique ID assigned to the widget when the widget is created. If not set by the developer, it will default to the container ID, or if that is not present then it will be automatically generated.

inputFormatFunction LabelFormatter inherited
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14

A function used to format user inputs. As opposed to labelFormatFunction, which formats thumb labels, the inputFormatFunction formats thumb values in the input element when the user begins to edit them.

The image below demonstrates how slider input values resemble corresponding slider values by default and won't match the formatting set in labelFormatFunction.

Slider without input formatter

If you want to format slider input values so they match thumb labels, you can pass the same function set in labelFormatFunction to inputFormatFunction for consistent formatting.

Slider with input formatter

However, if an inputFormatFunction is specified, you must also write a corresponding inputParseFunction to parse user inputs to understandable slider values. In most cases, if you specify an inputFormatFunction, you should set the labelFormatFunction to the same value for consistency between labels and inputs.

This property overrides the default input formatter, which formats by calling toString() on the input value.

See also:
Example:
// Formats the slider input to abbreviated numbers with units
// e.g. a thumb at position 1500 will render with an input label of 1.5k
slider.inputFormatFunction = function(value, type){
  if(value >= 1000000){
    return (value / 1000000).toPrecision(3) + "m"
  }
  if(value >= 100000){
    return (value / 1000).toPrecision(3) + "k"
  }
  if(value >= 1000){
    return (value / 1000).toPrecision(2) + "k"
  }
  return value.toFixed(0);
}
inputParseFunction InputParser inherited
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14

Function used to parse slider inputs formatted by the inputFormatFunction. This property must be set if an inputFormatFunction is set. Otherwise the slider values will likely not update to their expected positions.

Overrides the default input parses, which is a parsed floating point number.

See also:
Example:
// Parses the slider input (a string value) to a number value understandable to the slider
// This assumes the slider was already configured with an inputFormatFunction
// For example, if the input is 1.5k this function will parse
// it to a value of 1500
slider.inputParseFunction = function(value, type, index){
  var charLength = value.length;
  var valuePrefix = parseFloat(value.substring(0,charLength-1));
  var finalChar = value.substring(charLength-1);

  if(parseFloat(finalChar) >= 0){
    return parseFloat(value);
  }
  if(finalChar === "k"){
    return valuePrefix * 1000;
  }
  if(finalChar === "m"){
    return valuePrefix * 1000000;
  }
  return value;
}
label String

The widget's default label. This label displays when it is used within another widget, such as the Expand or LayerList widgets.

labelFormatFunction LabelFormatter inherited

A modified version of Slider.labelFormatFunction, which is a custom function used to format labels on the thumbs, min, max, and average values. Overrides the default label formatter. This function also supports date formatting.

Example:
// For thumb values, rounds each label to whole numbers
slider.labelFormatFunction = function(value, type) {
  return (type === "value-change") ? value.toFixed(0): value;
}

The maximum value or upper bound of the slider. If the largest slider value in the constructor is greater than the max set in this property, then the max will update to match the largest slider value.

Example:
slider.max = 150;

The minimum value or lower bound of the slider. If the smallest slider value in the constructor is greater than the min set in this property, then the min will update to match the smallest slider value.

Example:
slider.min = -150;
precision Number inherited
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14

Defines how slider thumb values should be rounded. This number indicates the number of decimal places slider thumb values should round to when they have been moved.

This value also indicates the precision of thumb labels when the data range is less than 10 (i.e. (max - min) < 10).

When the data range is larger than 10, labels display with a precision of no more than two decimal places, though actual slider thumb values will maintain the precision specified in this property.

For example, given the default precision of 4, and the following slider configuration, The labels of the thumbs will display two decimal places, but the precision of the actual thumb values will not be lost even when the user slides or moves the thumb.

const slider = new Slider({
  min: 20,
  max: 100,  // data range of 80
  values: [50.4331],
  // thumb label will display 50.43
  // thumb value will maintain precision, so
  // value will remain at 50.4331
  container: "sliderDiv"
});

If the user manually enters a value that has a higher precision than what's indicated by this property, the precision of that thumb value will be maintained until the thumb is moved by the user. At that point, the value will be rounded according to the indicated precision.

If thumb labels aren't visible, they must be enabled with labelInputsEnabled.

Keep in mind this property rounds thumb values and shouldn't be used exclusively for formatting purposes. To format thumb labels, use the labelFormatFunction property.

Default Value:4
Example:
slider.precision = 7;
state Stringreadonly inherited

The state of the view model.

Possible Values:"ready"|"disabled"

style Object

Exposes various properties of the widget that can be styled.

Properties:
trackFillColor Color
optional
Default Value:new Color([149, 149, 149])

The color of the slider's track. For single-color visualizations where only a Size variable is present, you should set this color to match the color of the symbol in the SimpleRenderer.

trackBackgroundColor Color
optional
Default Value:new Color([224, 224, 224])

The background color of the slider's track. Generally, this color should be subdued and not interfere with the trackFillColor.

Example:
slider.style = {
  trackFillColor: new Color("dodgerblue"),
  trackBackgroundColor: new Color([50,50,50])
};

The view model for the ClassedSizeSlider widget. This class contains all the logic (properties and methods) that controls this widget's behavior. See the ClassedSizeSliderViewModel class to access all properties and methods on the ClassedSizeSlider widget.
