How to know when a VectorTileLayer is finished rendering? (ArcGIS API for JavaScript)

DvirShimol — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 22:34:11 GMT

Hi,

I would like to use VectorTileLayer

But I can't find any event that fires when layer rendering is done.

'load' event fires:

Fires after layer properties for the layer are successfully populated.

So basically load event it's very quick (it's a small json) but it's not what I am looking for.

'update-end' not fires.

maybe there is other method to determine if VectorTileLayer is finish to render.

Br,

Dvir.

Try the event "update" which is part of inherited class "Layer".

Also try other events "update-end" and "update-start" Layer | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.31

Hi there,

The `update-start` and `update-end` events are not firing for the VectorTileLayer. We created an issue for this and I will give you an update once it is fixed. In meantime, please try using Map.update-end event.

If you add a basemap to the map constructor, the map's "update-start" and "update-end" events will fire.

var map = new Map("map", {
  center: [2.3508, 48.8567], // longitude, latitude
  zoom: 7,
  basemap: "topo"
});‍‍‍‍‍

Hi there,

basemap "topo" It is not a vector map

I need to use "topo-vector" which it's a vector map.

The problem is that I need to use vector map but I can't know when it's finish to redraw/render.

None of those vector maps not fires 'update-end':

   dark-gray-vector,
   gray-vector,
   streets-vector,
   topo-vector,
   streets-night-vector,
   streets-relief-vector,
   streets-navigation-vector

I tried also to add the layer to map. still the same.

Thanks toUndral Batsukh for opening issue for this, and I hope that issue will be fixed soon.

Br,

Dvir.

Hi there,

I should have checked for the map update events when the basemap is vector tile layer. I confirmed that map update events are indeed not firing for vectortilelayer basemaps. This issue will be fixed at our next release (3.32).

Thank you for reporting this issue,
