[JSAPI] Limit Feature Layer by Query

KevinScalf

Is there a way in the definition of a featureLayer via URL, to add some query string parameter to limit the returned results a feature layer and still function On Demand?

More detail: I have a feature layer hosted on a rest service that contains data from multiple lines in our system. I currently do this:

            featureLayer = new FeatureLayer(url, {

                mode: FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND,

                outFields: ["*"],

                visible: isVisible

            });

That works just fine, but it pulls data from every line and I really only want to view the data pertaining to one line at a time.

I would like to be able to do this:

          featureLayer = new FeatureLayer(url + querystring, {

                mode: FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND,

                outFields: ["*"],

                visible: isVisible

            });

I would like to add the query ("LINE_ID == ?") and still have it behave as it would in the first block of code where we pull the data On Demand as we're viewing the map.

Is there a way to accomplish this either on the API or Server side?

If I understand your issue correctly, what you can do is use queryIds, to get the objects ids in the map extent, then on the call back of the queryIds, you can query for the actual result set.

something like

var queryparams = new Query();

queryparams.geometry = UserSuppliedGeom;

flayer.queryIds(queryparams, lang.hitch(this, function(objectIds) {

     //do something with certain Line Ids or

      var query = new Query();

      query.returnGeometry = false;

      query.outFields = ['*'];

      query.objectIds = objectIds;

      flayer.queryFeatures(query, lang.hitch(this, function(featureSet) {

          //do somthing with result set.

     }

}
