ESRI JS API 4.11: error in documentation of FeatureTemplates widget

Question

Hello,

I migrated from 4.10 to 4.11 an application using FeatureTemplates widget  and noticed that the filterFunction callback parameter is not the one stated in the documentation anymore:

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-widgets-FeatureTemplates-FeatureTemplatesViewModel.html#filterFunction

In 4.11, "filterFunction takes a function which passes in an object containing a label property  of the FeatureLayer and a templates property containing the templates of this layer".

CodePen

Thanks,

Nicolas

Whoops, one of those days and one too many open tabs in my browser. Thanks, I've updated it to point to the Developers site.

Hi Heather Gonzago,

You're pointing to your own server (heatherg-2.esri.com) in your link.

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for catching that. We updated `name` to `label` in this latest release but failed to update the code snippet.

You just need to update it to read,

function myFilterFunction(filter) {
  let containsName = filter.label.includes("animal"); 
  return containsName;
 }

If you are interested in how this would work, check out the Editor widget with configurations sample. This uses a custom grouping function.  We'll fix this for our next SDK documentation update.
