Getting hold of a feature layer's display field with version 4 of the JavaScript API

MattJones — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 13:48:14 GMT

Hi,

I want to get hold of a feature layer's display field. This property doesn't seem to be present on a feature layer. Is there a way to get hold of it with version 4 of the API?

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,

The way I have found is this:

featureLayer.on("layerview-create", function(){
  console.info(featureLayer.source.layerDefinition.displayField);
});
