Edit DataSource Records Programmatically

RyanCoodey — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 23:36:31 GMT

I am able to access and query a DataSource just fine from a custom widget. But I need to insert/update some records programmatically as well. When I try to use ds.updateRecord() I get an error "Editing source is not ready yet". Any ideas how to make it ready?

I confirmed the DataSource is coming from the Feature Service and the capabilities say "Query,Create,Update,Uploads,Editing"

//Get update data source const ds = DataSourceManager.getInstance().getDataSource(props.useDataSources[1].dataSourceId) as FeatureLayerDataSource //Get record to update ds.query({ where: "UserId='" + props.user.username + "'" }).then((result) => { if (result.records && result.records.length > 0) { //Get record data and change const record = result.records[0] const dat = record.getData() dat.TypeCode = "New Value" //Process update --ERROR HERE: Editing source is not ready yet ds.updateRecord(dat).then((success) => { }) } })

Examples seem to show creating an editor widget. I am just wanting to call the service on the backend and do some edits though. In this case for a non-spatial table even. Worst case I suppose I could use the JS API or call the service endpoint directly, but assuming I am missing something with ExB objects.

Thanks for any help!

Hi @RyanCoodey ,

The data source in ExB doesn't implement edit-related methods, including the `updateRecord`. You can do it using the applyEdits method of the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript.

const jsAPIFeatureLayer = await featureLayerDs.createJSAPILayerByDataSource() const result = await jsAPIFeatureLayer.applyEdits(edits, options)

Hope it can help you.
