Create a FeatureLayer with client-side graphics, attributes missing

XiaowenHuang

I use the following sample to add a shapefile to FeatureLayer but attributes won't carry over.

ArcGIS API for JavaScript Sandbox

Any idea how I can retain all attributes from shapefile?

You just need to specify the Feature Layers fields and outFields properties in that sample.

            <SPAN class="keyword token">var</SPAN> featureLayer <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="keyword token">new</SPAN> <SPAN class="token class-name">FeatureLayer</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">{</SPAN>

Thanks! adding "fields: layer.layerDefinition.fields" solved the issue.

Hi Xiaowen,

Do you have screenshots or code you can share? Off the top of my head I would think that perhaps your shapefile is not a zip folder or your zip folder does not have all the necessary files in it to draw it with attributes.
