Merge Dijit Widgets into Simple Web Map

ChristopherCarr — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 20:55:51 GMT

Hi, I'm a newbie getting my feet wet with creating JavaScript Applications and it seems I know just enough to make a small amount of headway and then get stuck. On a current project I'm working on, I'm trying to create a simple embeddable map using a web map made in AGOL.

I'd like both the search and home button widgets in the map as well.

https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-dijit-home-button-js
https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-dijit-geocoder-js

I'm currently able to create a generic web map with both of these widgets, but when I try and create a web map by id, I end up getting nothing back. See my code attached, anyone have any suggestions?

hi christopher,
you were incredibly close, i only had to make two changes

1. your code was throwing an "unexpected token '}'" error in the console at line 56 because you had an unmatched curly brace and parenthesis at the bottom of your code.
2. i moved the geocoder and home button widget instantiation to happen inside the createMap() callback, because otherwise they were getting called before there was actually a map available.
