Let JS SDK use network topology
Pretty simple idea. Allow the JS SDK be able to take advantage of network topology.
It was to my utter surprise that I learned that Trace Networks have been a exposed capability at the server level for a while, and that it isn't just a "Pro" thing. See below screen shot (apologies for the quality - I took this picture at this year's 2026 ESRI UC at the geodatabase kiosk). Notice that Utility and Trace Networks are distinct server side capabilities. They are not the same. It seems incomplete to have this server side capability with no JS SDK ability to use it.
I started to put things together with the help of Jose at the JS SDK booth that even though the Trace Network capability is exposed, there is no current ability for the JS SDK to use network topology - hence no JS components, hence no widgets in any ESRI web product that can trace Trace Networks on the web (only in Pro). Jose seemed to indicate that there might be a JS project already in place to look into enabling topology in the SDK. I want this idea to lend credence to it if such a project is on the books.
Additionally, it would be good for ESRI to do this as there is a lot of headwinds coming for utility networks due to the upcoming NSRS 2022. Also, there is a lot of hydro networks that do not lend themselves to utility network implementations. It would be good for organizations to have other alternatives (albeit more simplistic) to trace networks on the web than the UN which is the only option currently.
