nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

is there a sample or code for a TOC that shows layer names with toggle boxes and symbology?

DanielSchatt

hi all, I'm fairly new to the Javascript API. I want to add a standard table of contents that displays the layer names, toggle boxes to turn layer visibility off and on, and the symbology of the layers. But I don't see any such sample. There's a "Legend" sample that shows layer names and symbology, but doesn't have toggle boxes for visibility. Thanks for any help!

Dan, the new version of the LayerList contains the property showLegend. By default, this is false, but if you set it to true, you will have the legend swatches included.

I just created an unordered list in html for each layer on the map. You can use the API to acquire a collection of your layers and then you just use the layer's hide/show as your click event for your check boxes.
