ArcGIS JavaScript API Popup Not Referencing REST Service Layer

BenPeters1 — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 14:48:38 GMT

The content in the popup created through the variable "popupCustom" is displaying string instead of referencing the specified field {IN_COUNTRY}. I followed the ArcGIS JS API Popup Tutorials, & can't see what my error is in failing to grab the attributes associated with that field. Here's the code -- any help is greatly appreciated!

*note: feature layer url within "Cyber_Areas" variable points to REST URL for referenced Feature Class.

Ben,

There is nothing in your code that associates your layer with the search widgets result thus the search results does not have a "IN_COUNTRY" field. The search widget does not automatically search layers that are added to the map.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the answer. That makes sense - I suppose that I was under the impression that referencing the variable popupCustom with popupTemplate within the Cyber_Areas featurelayer declaration would associate the search widget popup information with that of Cyber_Areas.

That being said, I'm a JS beginner, & am uncertain of how I can properly reference my feature layer. Do you know if it is it still possible using popupTemplate, & if so what I would need to add/look into? Or if the popupTemplate class will not work out for my purposes, what might?

p.s. the custom search widget text code (amongst many other troubleshooting answers I found related to Arc API) were answered by you - thanks for all of your help!

Ben,

See if this helps. I have associated the layer in question with the search widget and have define an actual popup template:

That helped indeed. I think that I see my error - I was confused & didn't think that I had to initialize a template variable. Thank you!
