How to specify layer with layer-add-result event?

SimonHodge

The ArcGIS JavaScript API Map object has the following two events (text taken from the API):

layer-add

Fires any time a layer is added to the map. Should be used in favor of onLayerAdd. (Added at v3.5)

layer-add-result

Fires after specified layer has been added to the map. Should be used in favor of onLayerAddResult. (Added at v3.5)

layer-add does exactly what it says: fires every time a layer is added.  However, layer-add-result says it will fire after specified layer has been added.  How do you specify the layer to trigger this event to fire?

Hi Simon,

Here is an example:

     var map;

      require([
        "esri/map", "esri/layers/FeatureLayer",
        "dojo/on", "dojo/domReady!"
      ], function(
        Map, FeatureLayer, 
        on
      ) {
        map = new Map("mapDiv", {
          basemap: "streets",
          center: [-81.792107, 26.150807],
          zoom: 8
        }); 
        
        on(map, "layer-add-result", function(){
          console.log(featureLayer)
        })       
        
        var featureLayer = new FeatureLayer("http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/USA/MapServer/0",{
            mode: FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND,
            outFields: ["*"]
        });  
        
        map.addLayer(featureLayer);                

      });
