JSAPI v4.3 - Create custom subClass inherited from WebTileLayer

MaximeDemers — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 17:38:39 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create a custom subclass inherited from the WebTileLayer class using esri/core/Accessor. I was following the doc from here: Accessor | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.3

My custom class module is the following:

define(
    ["esri/layers/WebTileLayer", "esri/geometry/SpatialReference", "esri/geometry/Extent", "esri/layers/support/TileInfo"],
    function(WebTileLayer, SpatialReference, Extent, TileInfo) {

        return WebTileLayer.createSubclass({
            constructor: function(urlTemplate) {
                this.urlTemplate = urlTemplate;
                this.spatialReference = new SpatialReference({ wkid: 3857 });
                this.initialExtent = (this.fullExtent = new Extent(-20037508.34787, -20037508.34278, 20037508.34278, 20037508.34787, this.spatialReference));
                this.tileInfo = new TileInfo({
                    "size": 256,
                    "dpi": 96,
                    "format": "PNG",
                    "compressionQuality": 0,
                    "origin": { "x": -20037508.342787, "y": 20037508.342787 },

                    },

When I initialize a new instance of this class doing: new MySubClass("https://mydomain.com/msp/{level}/{col}/{row}.png");

I got the errror this.load() is not a function. this.load() is called at the end of the constructor method of my subclass, and this method should have been inherited from WebTileLayer class. Why this method is not accessible from the subclass?

Thank you,

Maxime

I am not sure if you are doing it right. How did you assume you are inheriting WebTileLayer?

When you do "Accessor.createSubclass", it will create an class inherited by Accessor and not WebTileLayer. The "declaredClass" is just a property which holds a string name of the class. In my opinion, it is just a property used to check the type of the object/instance, since there is no direct way in JavaScript to check the type of an object.

If you wish to extend WebTileLayer, you should be using WebTileLayer.createSubclass

Thank you again for your help (second time today!). I did not know every esri classes had the createSubclass method. This method is not described in the WebTileLayer documentation: WebTileLayer | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.3

I suppose it inherited the createSubclass method from the Accessor class, but even in the Accessor documentation this method is not described Accessor | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.3

Thanks again,

Maxime

createSubclass is dojo way of creating/extending objects and is part of "dojo/_base/declare". Check out the below link about creating objects and inheritance in dojo. There is a section explaining about "createSubclass()" function.
