Feature Hover widget?

MarquesMunson1 — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 14:12:58 GMT

Hello,

I am new to WAB and I would like to know if there is a widget that allows a feature hover that allows the user to see a a feature highlighted when hovering over a feature with the mouse.

For example: A world map and when a user hovers over a country, the entire boundary is highlighted and/or outlined.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have found the Javascript code for the feature hover layer (https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/3/jssamples/fl_hover.html). Can this somehow be added to WAB??

This may be of interest to you. It is a widget that will show the layers info window (popup) when you hover over the layer.

Thank you for sending the zip file. I have downloaded and extracted to the widgets folder. Unfortunately for some reason WAB is not showing the new widget.

Marques,

Did you add the widget to the stemapp widgets folder (i.e. C:\web-appbuilder-2.11\client\stemapp\widgets\FLHover)?

Did you try closing WAB startup.bat command prompt window and restarting WAB?

Here is what it looks like:

Yes, that is the steps I have followed. I downloaded the Identify widget and that works perfectly. I will remove the FL Hover widget folder, redownload the zip file and close WAB completely and restart.

Hi Robert, It seems as though it DID work. I was looking for "FLHover" in the widgets tab but it is listed as "Feature Layer Hover." I just needed to look more closely!

I have installed the FLHover and it is awesome. It works great in WAB dev however i try to add it to my portal as a custom widget and it doesn't work. I am using my web server to host my widgets so they are not on my portal server. Do you think this could be the issue? Are there certain methods that need to be installed on my web server? Thanks for your help.

What version of Portal are you running?

Re: Feature Hover widget?

HillaryBjorstrom — Fri, 10 May 2019 20:40:28 GMT

10.6.1

I updated the wabVersion to my version

It does work to just add it in Web App Dev and take the whole app and put it on my web server. I don't know why i didn't think of that.

BTW I always look for your blogs and tools they are always terrific! Thank you so much for all you have contributed to GIS.

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to set the config to have more than 1 feature layer. Thanks!

{
  "layerId": "FEATURELAYER_3931",
  "layerId": "FEATURELAYER_3932",
}
