Intersecting with an entire FeatureLayer?

NicholasRolstad2

Maybe I'm just not wording my searches correctly, but I can't seem to find an answer to this. Is there a way to run a simple true/false intersect on an entire FeatureLayer?

Essentially I have a single polygon feature and I want to see if it intersects with a different Feature Layer that has 10's of thousands of features. Is the only way to do this to loop over every feature, checking if each one intersects with my target feature or is there a simpler way?

Thanks!

queryFeatures with spatial query

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-rest-support-Query.html

Using the example from the link,

view.on("pointer-move", function(event){
  let query = featureLayer.createQuery(); // THE OTHER LAYER
  query.geometry = YOUR POLYGON
  query.distance = 2;
  query.units = "miles";
  query.spatialRelationship = "intersects";  // this is the default
  query.returnGeometry = true;
  query.outFields = [ "POPULATION" ];

  featureLayerView.queryFeatures(query)
    .then(function(response){
      // returns a feature set with features containing the
      // POPULATION attribute and each feature's geometry
    });
});
