After upgrading to ESRI JSAPI 4.16 from 4.15 - unable to track edits on layer

divyabathina

Hi All,

I have upgraded the ArcGIS jsapi 4.15 to 4.16 and the  below has broken. 

I am trying to track edits on the layer . I am using editor widget and click on the Add/update button on editor widget I am trying to find the newly added feature object id as shown below but it the blow code do not work after the upgrade.

editorVM.featureFormViewModel.layer.on("edits",(event: esri.FeatureLayerEditsEvent) => {

if (event.addedFeatures.length > 0) {

console.log( "event.addedFeatures[0].objectId ")

}

trying to find any alternative way to track edits on the layer

 

(catch the event fired after add or update happen when using editor widget)

Thank you,

Divya

Hi Divya,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! Yes, we added it back to the documentation. Unfortunately, we won't be updating the typings for this change - the typings file is so big and it is a lot of work to get updated.

You can instead edit your typings file locally at node_modules/@types/arcgis-js-api/index.d.ts

To add the "edits" event for FeatureLayer:

On line 284, add 

export type FeatureLayerEditsEventHandler = (event: FeatureLayerEditsEvent) => void;

This should go after FeatureFormViewModelValueChangeEventHandler and before FeatureLayerLayerviewCreateErrorEventHandler.

Next, on line 11042, add

on(name: "edits", eventHandler: FeatureLayerEditsEventHandler): IHandle;

This should go after updateAttachment() and before on(name: "layerview-create" ...)

Let me know if this works for you!

Thanks,
Anne
