Obtain point object from Search widget results

AndrewL — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 19:46:22 GMT

I am migrating my application to the ArcGIS API for JS Version 4.13 from Version 3.15.

I would like to return a point so that I may use it in a query task.

My old code was: query.geometry = addressPoint;

I am not sure how to obtain this from using the Search widget:

var searchWidget = new Search({
view: view,
container: "searchWidget",
popupEnabled: false
});

searchWidget.on('search-complete', function(result){
console.log(result)

});

Thank you.

Hello Andrew,

To access the point geometry with the callback function you have, it will be result.results[0].results[0].feature.geometry.

Jose

Thanks Jose! That worked.

I was able to use DevTools to figure out how to retrieve the name as well since I need that too.

addressText = result.results[0].results[0].name
