Mastering ArcGIS Server Development with JavaScript

Chapter 2. Digging into the API

An Application Programming Interface (API) defines the operations, formats, and data structures available from a networked service. The developer writes code using the API to tell a server to accomplish a task. An API is built on top of an existing programming language, and uses the syntax and features of the language to make communications with a computer easier to code.

At one point, ESRI had three web-based APIs to communicate with ArcGIS Server: Flash, Silverlight, and JavaScript. With the rise of the mobile web and improvements in browsers, the ArcGIS JavaScript API won as the browser of choice. To make the best use of the ArcGIS Server map features, it's best to learn what's available from the JavaScript API. We're going to take a tour through the API, to become familiar with what it has to offer.

Unlike the other chapters in this book, this chapter provides more of a reference than a programming exercise. Short code snippets...

Finding the ArcGIS JavaScript API documentation

You can find the documentation for the ArcGIS API for JavaScript by visiting https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jsapi/. There, you'll find information on the latest version of the API, a list of changes since the previous version, and related documents to help you create apps. The organization is logical, and information is relatively easy to find with their layout.

The documentation layout

The documentation for each element in the ArcGIS API is laid out in an organized fashion. Links to the API components are on the left-hand side. The documentation for each element defaults to the AMD style, but provides links to the older legacy development style. With the AMD style, the top of the page shows how to load the module into your code. Following that is a description of the module, a link to samples that use the module, and a class hierarchy diagram showing the modules the current module inherits.

Object constructor

If the module requires...

Drawing a map

When working with the ArcGIS JavaScript API, one of the first things you'll want to do is to create a map. The map transforms a simple div element into an interactive canvas where you can display, request, and even edit geographic data. The map is a complicated object, so we'll spend a significant amount of time focusing on it. Let's learn how to make a map in our scripts.

Constructor options

When a map is first created using the ArcGIS JavaScript API, the developer has numerous parameters that can be used to configure the map. We were exposed to some of those parameters in the previous chapter, when we created our first map application. Let's look into a few of them a little more closely.

Autoresize

The Autoresize function, which by default is true, tells the map whether it should resize itself when the browser changes size or orientation. If you have a full screen map application, and you maximize or resize your browser, the map will automatically adjust...

Layers

No map is complete without data to show. Data is added to the map through layers. Layers refer to data sources that include geographic, symbolic, and even tabular data. The ArcGIS API for JavaScript contains a number of modules for interpreting different kinds of common geographic data sources. Some of the layer modules work with data provided by ArcGIS Server, and others can display data from other sources, such as KML, Web Map Service (WMS), and CSV files.

Common ArcGIS Server layers

ArcGIS Server provides map layer data through Map Services. Map Services provide data published from an ArcMap map document (.mxd). The visual map data, legend, and underlying data tables are served through ArcGIS Server, and can be consumed through the browser when the layer data source is loaded into the map. Different layer types have different functionalities. We will review those layers in the following sections.

ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer

Graphics

A graphic object represents an individual point, line, or polygon feature drawn on the webmap. The graphic object has four main parts: its geometry, symbol, attributes, and infoTemplate. They are used in many parts of the API. If you draw something on the map, you create a graphic. If you query a map service for something, it returns a list of graphics. Some modules even accept lists of graphics as arguments for other functions.

The graphic object can be constructed with up to four optional arguments:

  • geometry: It describes the shape of the graphic drawn on the map
  • symbol: It describes the graphic's color, thickness, and features that affect the appearance of the graphic
  • attribute: A JavaScript object containing name-value pairs of tabular data that correspond with the feature
  • infoTemplate: It formats the look of the graphic attributes when highlighted by the map's InfoWindow

We'll look more closely at these graphic features in the following sections.

Introducing geometry objects

Geometry objects are a collection of coordinates that describe where something is in the world. They give shape to the data we're looking for. They can be used for displaying graphics on a map, or to provide spatial data for queries, or even for geoprocessing services. Geometry objects come in five basic types: point, line, polygon, extent, and multipoint. Any shapes are built on these basic types. Let's take a closer look.

Point

In the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, a point is the simplest geometry object. It contains the x and y coordinates of the point, as well as the point's spatial reference. A point can be constructed with x and y coordinates, plus a spatial reference. It can also be defined by longitude and latitude.

Polyline

A polyline geometry is a collection of one or more arrays of point coordinates. Each array of point coordinates is called a path, and would look like a line when drawn out. Multiple paths can be stored in the same geometry...

No map is complete without data to show. Data is added to the map through layers. Layers refer to data sources that include geographic, symbolic, and even tabular data. The ArcGIS API for JavaScript contains a number of modules for interpreting different kinds of common geographic data sources. Some of the layer modules work with data provided by ArcGIS Server, and others can display data from other sources, such as KML, Web Map Service (WMS), and CSV files.

Graphics

A graphic object represents an individual point, line, or polygon feature drawn on the webmap. The graphic object has four main parts: its geometry, symbol, attributes, and infoTemplate. They are used in many parts of the API. If you draw something on the map, you create a graphic. If you query a map service for something, it returns a list of graphics. Some modules even accept lists of graphics as arguments for other functions.

The graphic object can be constructed with up to four optional arguments:

  • geometry: It describes the shape of the graphic drawn on the map

  • symbol: It describes the graphic's color, thickness, and features that affect the appearance of the graphic

  • attribute: A JavaScript object containing name-value pairs of tabular data that correspond with the feature

Symbols and renderers

The ArcGIS API provides some basic graphics tools to define how features look on your map. If you are creating your own custom graphics, or modifying some existing ones, this portion of the API tells you how to define their symbols. The API also provides custom renderers, which help you define what symbols are used, based on rules applied by the renderer.

Simple symbols

The ArcGIS API uses symbols to define the colors, thicknesses, and other visual features of graphics, independent of their shape. In fact, without a symbol assigned, the graphics would not show up. The API defines three simple symbols to highlight points, line, and polygons. Let's look at the Simple Symbols.

SimpleLineSymbol

The SimpleLineSymbol defines the symbology of line and polyline graphics added to the map. It may seem strange to start with line symbology, but the other two Simple symbols make use of a line symbol as well. The primary SimpleLineSymbol's properties are its color, its width (in pixels...

Doman
Ken Doman has worked in the geographic information system field since 2007. In his first GIS job, Ken was given a stack of maps, some AutoCAD data, and a shoe box full of address notes, and was told to make a web accessible GIS application out of it. Since then, he has strived to make geographic data available and easily accessible over the Internet. Ken is an ESRI certified Web Application Developer and has created many public web applications using ArcGIS Software. Currently, Ken works for Bruce Harris & Associates, a mapping and custom development company that specializes in land records and ESRI software solutions. There, he creates custom web, desktop, and mobile applications using JavaScript, .NET, and ArcGIS software. Ken has also been a book reviewer for Building Web and Mobile ArcGIS Server Applications with JavaScript by Eric Pimpler and ArcGIS for Desktop Cookbook by Daniela Cristiana Docan. I would like first thank my wife, Luann, who put up with many of my late night book-writing sessions. She supported me and pushed me when I needed it. I would also like to thank the City of Jacksonville, Texas, the City of Plantation, Florida, and Bruce Harris and Associates for giving me the opportunities to learn the lessons I was able to pour into this book. Finally, I would like to thank God, the source from whom all blessings flow.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
