This sample shows how to add an instance of MapImageLayer to a Map in a MapView and update the definitionExpression of a sublayer.

// This layer has four sublayers. You can define the definitionExpression in each sublayer.
var layer = new MapImageLayer({
  url: "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/USA/MapServer",
  sublayers: [
    {
      id: 3,
      visible: false
    },
    {
      id: 2,
      visible: true
    },
    {
      id: 1,
      visible: true
    },
    {
      id: 0,
      visible: true,
      definitionExpression: "pop2000 > 100000"
    }
  ]
});
