Navigation tools for ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.x

Ranga_Tolapi — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 11:42:03 GMT

Does Navigation tools available in ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.x?

I am looking for the best approach to implement zoomToNextExtent() and zoomToPrevExtent() using ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.x. Any suggestions/samples please.

Your support is sincerely appreciated.

The Navigation toolbar is listed as "Under Consideration" instead of "Coming Soon" in the Functionality Matrix

I got impatient waiting for that to be implemented so I did it myself.

Hi Robert. The solution you posted at https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-javascript-questions/does-the-class-quot-esri-toolbars-navigation-quot/td-p/567061 cannot be rendered in its whole. There are issues with the ESRI website and it can't display the whole solution. Can you please post it again? Thanks.

THank you. It seems that Chrome and Edge cannot render the whole page. If you scroll down you will see that it cuts off .

Firefox can display the whole code but it displays it in one line :(.

So, I have to manually to insert the line breaks to make it readable.

ESRI is aware of the issue and they are looking into it. THanks.

Robert, your screenshot is from this page. I was referring for the solution posted at this page:

https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-javascript-questions/does-the-class-quot-esri-toolbars-navigation-quot/td-p/567061. When you scroll down it freezes, after line 91.
