Is there a Time Slider Widget for Experience Builder?

MarkChilcott — Fri, 16 Oct 2020 06:03:57 GMT

Hi Peoples,

Is there a Time Slider Widget for the new Experience Builder in AGOL?

I have an app developed with WebAppBuilder that I want to convert over to Experience Builder.

Is there a Developer sample - could look at development.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Currently, we do not have a time slider widget, but it is on our list. You could check out the time slider in the JS API on how to use that widget and review this sample arcgis-experience-builder-sdk-resources/samples/widgets/editor at master · Esri/arcgis-experience-builder-sdk-resources … on how to use a widget from the JS API in Experience Builder.

Hi David,

Thanks for that. I am starting to come up to speed with the apps, but have not got into the development side of things yet. I am aware that more of the widgets from Web AppBuilder will be incorporated into Experience Builder in incremental updates, and as you mention the time slider is on the list. Did you have a rough time frame in mind?

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Mark, the Time Slider widget currently is not in the release plan for Q1 2021. Could you please check in with us 6 months later? Any improvement for Time Slider you would like to see in Experience Builder?

Hi Jianxia,

The current time slider works well. We have an index that represents an aerial photo index over time, so we can use the slider to filter the index see when the photos were taken.

One bug that is problematic is that if the widget is in a map and another widget is selected, the time slider filter is dropped. One needs to have the time slider filter applied, and still be able to use other widgets in the map - so make sure that functionality works.

If the widget is set to be applied automatically when the app is opened, make sure it also works on mobile devices in this way (could be a bug in the current one).

Cheers,

Mark

I am also very interested in seeing this implemented!! I see the capability in Web Apps but not in Dashboards or in Experience Builder. I need some tools available in the Dashboards, like being able to select a point and show related photos in an embedded content window, AND time slider functionality. If anyone has suggestions on a no-code solution that incorporates both, please let me know! For now I'm stuck with choosing either/or functionality.

Hello @Jianxia, do you have an update on the release plan for the Time Slider widget for the Experience Builder? Can we expect to see one in Q2 2021?

Re: Is there a Time Slider Widget for Experience Builder?

Unfortunately the Time Slider widget will not be available in Q2 2021. It is on the priority list. We don't have a time line yet.

Thanks for the suggestions Mark. Added them to the user requirements of Time Slider.

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but we were able to add a Web App to Experience Builder inside an Embed widget. Just drag the Embed widget into an empty page and add the link to your Web App to embed it (which contains the time slider widget). It worked for us!

Is there a time line for this widget to be added?

Thanks!

Hello, I would like to see the time slider widget have a unique time interval as an option where given a time aware layer the interval will be set to each unique time value. This is crucial for showing data such as storm events.

@ThomasDarley1 @SolanaFoo2 and all, the Time Slider widget is planned for Q2 2022. We will share the 2022 roadmap after the December update. Thanks.

The first link is no longer working. I need another example of how to use a widget from the JS API in EB. Thanks.

@MeganEngel The Timeline widget (Time Slider in WAB) is on the 2022 roadmap, hopefully delivered around Q2, 2022.

I used the approached used in js-api-widget to use the Sketch widget and it was successful. However when I tried to use the same approach with the TimeSlider widget nothing shows. This is the render function I used in widget.tsx:

render() {

return <div className="widget-use-map-view" style={{ width: '100%', height: '100%', overflow: 'hidden' }}>

{!this.isConfigured() && <h3>Please select a map.</h3>}

<h3>

Time Slider Widget

</h3>

<hr />

<h4>This shows the Time Slider widget.</h4>

</div>;

}

I noticed that the TimeSlider widget appears inside the map. Does it need to be rendered in a different way?
