Autocast all fields in FeatureTable

JeffreyThompson1 — Tue, 12 Oct 2021 15:10:31 GMT

The purpose of the FeatureTable I am building is to display unedited data from a public source. According to the documentation, leaving the fieldConfigs blank will autocast all of the fields which is exactly the behavior I want.

Here is my super simple code:

const featureTable = new FeatureTable({ view: view, layer: layer, container: "viewDiv", });

And all I'm getting is the table header:

How can I get the columns to Autocast?

Do you have the layer to test you are expecting to use?

This sample works without defining the fieldConfigs

Autocast means you don't need to new up an instance of the FieldColumnConfig, just pass an object that has the constructor properties.

Does your layer have fields other than the ones it says will not be included automatically?

Apparently, this was a CSS issue. The data was being autocast correctly, but put into a div with 0px height.

I was able to solve the problem by adding this to my CSS file.

.esri-feature-table__content { min-height: 200px !important; }
