Hi all,
Basic question here, but how do I read in a .txt file and store it as an array? I am using javascript and arcgis' 4.4 API
I have several layers on a map that I want "visible = true" on startup. Instead of hard coding the titles of the layers in a giant if() statement, I would like to read in the titles from a text file. I think a simple array would be best to save the read in data. Once read in, I will loop through the array and access the desired layerViews that way.
What I'm currently doing:
if (item.title === "City Limits" || item.title === "Land" ||
item.title === "Parcels" || item.title === "Boundary" ||
item.title === "Fill" || item.title === "Other Cities & Towns Boundaries" || item.title === "Other Cities & Towns Fills") {
item.visible = true;
What I would Like to Do:
for(i = 0; i < dataArray.length; i++){
if(item.title === dataArray)
item.visible = true;
}
I have found reference material that mentions javascript's Node.js File System Module, so if that could be incorporated into my main .js script I would be a happy camper.
