Hi Kawish,

I think you have to apply a parseFloat() function to your arguments to turn them into floating point numbers. So, essentially your code is correct, apart from this parsing that is missing. (By the way, please note that Internet Explorer 11 does not support the Arrow Function you are using... but maybe we should consider that a non-issue - LOL)

Based on the research I have done to investigate your issue I have published a sample app using the corrected code below: ArcGIS JavaScript Tutorial - Use view.goTo() to zoom to given location

If you enter the coordinates 74.315 and 31.588, it will fly you directly to Lahore Fort, the fortified 16th-century Mughal citadel in Lahore, Pakistan.

So, your code should become:

let lon = document.getElementById("lon");
let lat = document.getElementById("lat");
let btnLocation = document.getElementById("btnlocation");
btnLocation.addEventListener('click', () => {
       view.goTo({
             target:[parseFloat(lon.value), parseFloat(lat.value)]
         })
})‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Does this solve your issue?

Hi kawish abbas,

Regarding your new question in this thread:

Did you already have a look at the Editor widget? It has been introduced in version 4.11 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. There is a nice sample available: Edit features with the Editor widget | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.12. This sample allows you to actually edit and modify a sample data set provided by Esri. Nice 🙂

The widget automatically recognizes if there are any editable feature layer(s) within the map. If there are, the layer or layers will display within the widget. Based on the editing functionality set on the feature layer, you can Edit existing features and/or Add new features.

Does this suit your needs?

Best regards,

Egge-Jan

Hi Egge-Jan Pollé

I don't want to use editor widget basically i don't want to click on map to create point, i just want to add row in database table and enter new data with coordinates in x,y fields, so point graphic should add to map with reference of x,y filed.

Hi kawish abbas,

In that case you might have a look at the ArcGIS REST API to add a feature directly through an HTTP POST request.

Let's take the Hazards service from the Editor widget example: https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/ArcGIS/rest/services/Hazards_Uptown_Charlotte/FeatureServer/0 (This is a public service, maintained by Esri's jsapi_team. You can add records freely to this service, for testing purposes. I guess they remove the records every now and then...)

We want to report a hazard, a wild animal: let's pretend we have seen a tiger on the lawn of Lahore Fort!!

Go to https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/ArcGIS/rest/services/Hazards_Uptown_Charlotte/FeatureServer/0/addFeatures and enter the feature you want to add:

[
    {
      "attributes" : {
        "HazardType" : "Dangerous Animal",
        "Description" : "We saw a tiger on the lawn",
        "SpecialInstructions" : "No Action",
        "Status" : "Active",
        "Priority" : "High"
      },
      "geometry" : {
        "x" : 8272644.51,
        "y" : 3709258.71
      }
    }
]‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

As soon as you click Add Features, your Tiger Warning will be added to the service and hence be added to the map.

Is this something you would like to investigate?

Best regards,

Egge-Jan
