ClassBreaksRenderer Dynamic field property?

EricFeminella — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 03:29:23 GMT

We are in the process of migrating from ESRI JS 3.28 to 4.12, and I am trying to determine how one can dynamically set the ClassBreaksRenderer field attribute?

For instance, given the field attribute docs as an example (see below), assume that in the absence of the “totalAcres” property’s having a value, how can I fallback to another attribute on the feature, say, “totalAcres2”?

ClassBreaksRenderer | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.12

Is there a simple way to accomplish this? The field attribute is of type string and so I can’t seem to find an alternative. I’ve explored using Arcade expressions but feel there must be an easier way to specify which field to use at runtime.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could try using `DefaultValue`, which is a logical expression in Arcade.

DefaultValue

DefaultValue( value, defaultValue? ) -> returns: `*`

Replaces an empty value with a provided default value.

Name	Type	Description
value	*	The input value to compare against `null` or `''`. This may be a value of any type. However, if this value is an empty array, then the empty array will be returned.
defaultValue	*	`optional` Return this value if the provided `value` is empty. This may be a value of any type.
