ArcGIS - How to add multiple states to existing map?

Question

I am new to ARCGIS. Can someone show me how can I go about adding 2 states New Jersey and Delaware to the existing code? So that it displays along with New York. Is there also a wild card option to add all the states?

Kaiser,

OK, so you need some basic SQL syntax help then.

featureLayer.setDefinitionExpression("STATE_NAME IN( 'New York', 'New Jersey', 'Delaware')");

The reason that removing the DefinitionExpression does not work is you are likely reaching the Map Services max feature output.

Robert  Thank you. I was trying something like this but none worked

featureLayer.setDefinitionExpression("STATE_NAME = 'New York', 'New Jersey'");

featureLayer.setDefinitionExpression("STATE_NAME = 'New York'","STATE_NAME = 'New Jersey'");

featureLayer.setDefinitionExpression("STATE_NAME = 'New York'");; featureLayer.setDefinitionExpression("STATE_NAME = 'New Jersey'")

;

The first options render nothing , the second option rendered on new york ,  third option only NJ .

what is right way to add other states?

Also, If  I try to display for the whole of USA removing the featurelayer, defintion(

* featureLayer.setDefinitionExpression("STATE_NAME = 'New York'");  )

it only  displays half of the USA. screen grab attached below.

Kaiser,

By the way you will notice that I have moved your thread from the GeoNet Help space to the ArcGIS API for JavaScript‌ space. It is important to post questions in the correct spaces.
