ESRI Javascript API 3.3

KevinMacLeod1

Hi all, It looks like the ESRI API for Javascript 3.3 is about to come out. The templates reference it. I was wondering if anyone knows roughly when it will come out or what is new? New Dojo version?

axxl et al what do you think the best new things are with the new Dojo? Will you do anything new now that leverages the new Dojo? Just curious, thanks.

I'm trying to get used to the new syntax and functionalities and collect some experience with it in small apps and demos but I don't force to upgrade existing applications yet. I guess it's a good time to get 'prepared'. Since the examples in the JS-API 3.3 are still the 'old way' I guess the next development steps of the JS-API will lead me a bit further. I will follow the documentation, tipps and tricks and blogs of the community because I think that the adjustments are an ongoing process. And - of course - discussions like this here. There are some topics in this forum, like my "What's new in Dojo 1.8" thread which deal with the new version and I hope that all these threads will help us to get and share the experiences in our evolving community.

This is my experience in the past few days as well.

I don't understand why it's so hard to add a search box for the API reference as there's search box for samples.

I can't believe there's no search box for the API Reference anymore, 'cause, like who would ever want to search it right. So awesome now to search google for "arcgis javascript <term>" and get a page that says "The page you're looking for does not exist or has been moved", but does nothing to get you to that specific page in the new reference. Real bang up job.

Thanks Kelly for the quick response. The problem is when click second level navigation items in left side, the content in right side does not refresh. And the error is "Object doesn't support this action".

Ok I understand - you are talking about the help site in general not working well in IE 7 not the sample. The samples should all work in IE7 however the ArcGIS API for JavaScript help is not designed to run well in older browsers like IE7. When browsing the help we suggest that you use the current version of your browser of choice.

DawenXie

Kelly, can you please bring the search box back for "API Reference"? Or give a link for 3.2 if that's somewhere available for us. It's hard to check the reference now.

I ran a quick test of this sample in IE7 and it worked for me. Can you provide more details about what you mean by 'cannot run well'. Are you getting an error? Does the sample load?

And many stuff CANNOT run well under IE7, such as Samples/map, http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/jssamples/#sample/map_infowindow

+ 1 on that - I've done all my coding in the "old" way with (for me) a majo app about to go to beta - So at the moment I have time to change - I just need pointing in the right direction - the info is there, but scattered around. Having all the example moved to the new way of doing things would be great.

KenMorefield

In the latest sample "Create a map", the syntax still is

dojo.require("esri.map");

should be

require(["esri/map"]);

?

I'd agree that it would be nice if the ESRI samples all followed the require(["esri/map"]) way of coding. For folks that are new to the javascript api and dojo - they might be learning the former way of coding their apps... then they'll have to start all over learning the upcoming new way... just a thought.

my understand is at dojo 1.8 both are supported but the latter (newer format) is preferred, and at dojo 2.0 the latter format will be required.

So we can begin transitioning without breaking everything.

Any other such transitions to get out in front of?

Brilliant, thanks for the quick action, Derek.

The Samples no longer take you first to the source code, but rather straight to the live application. While I can still get to the Source, of course, this is a bit annoying. It even still says on the bottom of the Sample Page:

"These samples demonstrate how to use various features in the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Each sample page contains a description of what happens in the sample, the source code and links to view the sample live or download as a .zip file. Watch a video that shows how you can copy the code from the samples to run them on your machine."

Despite this currently not being true.

I've changed this�?? thumbnails now take you to the description page instead of the live sample.

😞 Big time breakage on 3.3 for my site I am doing - loads of parser errors - example -


dojo/parser::parse() error
TypeError

arguments: Array[2]
get message: function () { [native code] }
get stack: function () { [native code] }
set message: function () { [native code] }
set stack: function () { [native code] }
type: "non_object_property_call"
__proto__: Error

I'm sure I'll find out soon what is going on.

Edit - Ah - is listed as a breaking change

Using lang="en" can break apps that use when using layout dijits and data-dojo-config(or dojoConfig) locale or extraLocale is not set. The recommended fix is to set locale or extraLocale on data-dojo-config or remove the lang="en" attribute. The specific error seen when this is an issue is "dojo/parser::parse() error TypeError" in Chrome and "TypeError: _72f(...) is undefined" in Firefox. More information is available in the Dojo bug tracker:http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/15630#comment:7 http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/15768#comment:6

One thing in 1.8 I want to give a try is the router for single page apps. Could be interesting.

I'm using FF 17 as well, the specific example I gave looks right on the top, but you will see the problem if you scroll down. I checked it on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.

dawenx you're right, I don't see a Search anywhere either. This should be added back.

FYI I loaded that page fine in FF 17.

JeffPace1

Ok that is bad. Does anyone develop on a phone? No you develop on the desktop. Why on earth would you style the API for mobile.

Sorry, just disagree with the styling choice on this one.

I am not sure this is primetime yet. Anyone else getting

dojo.io.script error

Error: Unauthorized access

on dijit/form/TextBox

I normally don't resist new stuff, but the the website coule be better.

My main complaint is that the search option in the "API Reference" is not available any more. Second, the codes example does not wrap into multiple lines. (We need to scroll from left to right all the time if I want to read the sample codes online.) Finally, the display for some pages seems to have problem, for example:

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/jsapi/#namespace_esri/esri.request (the content is not shown in the table, this happens in Firefox and Chrome.)

the website will take some getting used to, but I like the look and feel of it so far. Looking forward to seeing the full list of enhancements and bug fixes.

Hm. The website has been "mobilified". For touch navigation on mobile devices I suppose the interface is good.

Looks like it's out.

Looks like it's out. And full redesign of site as well.

JeffPace1

In general this information has not been available with prior releases.

It usually leads to people being upset if it is delayed. You will likely just get a notification when it is out.

Any Esri member can give official response about approximate release date and highlights for 3.3? THANKS!!!

nevermind, my reading comprehension is poor at best before coffee
