Creating the map

MattMcLees — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 19:09:50 GMT

I've inherited a map that is set up in this manner.

      dojo.require("dijit.layout.BorderContainer");
      dojo.require("dijit.layout.ContentPane");
      dojo.require("esri.map");
      dojo.require("dijit.layout.TabContainer");

      var map;

function init() {
        map = new esri.Map("map", {
logo: false
        });

        var basemap = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("Layer url goes here");
        var dynamicLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("Layer url goes here");

        dojo.connect(map, "onLayersAddResult", function(results) {
        });
        map.addLayer(basemap);
        map.addLayers([dynamicLayer]);
     }
     dojo.ready(init);

Is it possible to add home and basemap toggle buttons to the above? How can I do that? What is the difference between the above and the api sample code? e.g.

var map;
require(["esri/map", "dojo/domReady!"], function(Map) {
    map = new Map("mapDiv", {
      center: [-56.049, 38.485],
      zoom: 3,
      basemap: "streets"
    });
});

Matt,

the map you have inherited is in Legacy style and the example you have posted is in AMD style. ESRI and Dojo is moving towards AMD and away from legacy. This might help you with translating.

For homebutton use this and for basemap toggle use this. Both links are in legacy style.

Hope this helps!

Tim
