How Search Widget can work with Client Side Layer?

RoelGarcia — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 22:42:35 GMT

Hi Friends,

I have a client side layer (NOT coming from ArcGIS Server / AGOL) and I added it to the Search widget but the searching process for that layer info does not work...

Process:

* Creating Feature Layer on the client side (NOT coming from ArcGIS Server or AGOL)

* Adding the Layer to the map

* Adding the Layer to Search Widget Source

* Populating the Layer from external API data

I am using ArcGIS JS API 3.x

Is anyone know how can I integrate a Client Side Layer to the Search Widget?

Thanks,

Roel

Roel,

To my knowledge that is not possible out of the box. The search dijit states, when using a featurelayer.

a 10.3 or later feature layer that supports pagination, i.e. supportsPagination = true.

That is not something a clientside featurelayer has the capability of.

Robert is correct, the Search dijit requires either a geocode service or a hosted feature layer.

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/jsapi/search-amd.html#sources

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/jssamples/search_multiplesources.html

So I do not believe that it can work with a client-side feature layer.
