Validate Where Clause of "Query" on a feature layer

VivekPrasad — Sat, 17 May 2014 11:38:17 GMT

Hello All,

Could anybody please let me know, if any out of box options are available with ArcGIS Server API for JavaScript, to validate the "Where" clause set for the "Query" object to run with "QueryTask" on a feature layer.

This option is available with ArcGIS Desktop - "Verify" button on "Select Features By Attributes" option.

Thanks in advance!

With Regards,
Vara Prasad.

I don't know of any out of the box verifier. But it's pretty easy to do it yourself against the service.

esriRequest({
    url: 'http://some_service/query',
    callbackParamName: 'callback',
    content: {
        f: 'json',
        returnGeometry: false,
        returnIdsOnly: true,
        where: where
    }
}).then(function (r) {
    if (r.objectIds) {
        console.log('valid query: ' + r.objectIds.length + ' results');
    } else {
        console.log('valid query: 0 results');
    }
}, function (e) {
    console.log('invalid query', e);
});
