How to access the availableCreateTools property of Sketch Widget

NickStapler · ‎08-21-2019

I am trying to access this property so that i can toggle off certain or all create buttons like the point and circle buttons.

I attempted to utilize this property but found that it was not on the created object:

Hi Nick,

This property can only be set once on creation the widget (see: Sketch | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.12 ). Just add

availableCreateTools: ["point", "polygon"]

Full sample:

        margin: 0;
        height: 100%;
        width: 100%;
      }
    </style>
    <script>
      require([
        "esri/widgets/Sketch",
        "esri/Map",
        "esri/layers/GraphicsLayer",
        "esri/views/MapView"
      ], function(Sketch, Map, GraphicsLayer, MapView) {
        const layer = new GraphicsLayer();

        const map = new Map({
          basemap: "streets",
          layers: [layer]
        });

        const view = new MapView({
          container: "viewDiv",
          map: map,
          zoom: 5,
          center: [90, 45]
        });

        const sketch = new Sketch({
          layer: layer,
          view: view,
          availableCreateTools: ["point", "polygon"]
        });
        console.log(sketch.availableCreateTools);

        view.ui.add(sketch, "top-right");
      });
