Need a SymbolStyler for Javascript 4.x

[VivienWong]

We need a SymbolStyler in Javascript 4.x or a way to modify the layer symbology on-the-fly so that the layers can be displayed in different symbols from what they have been published.  The ideal is that LayerList will show the SymbolStyler (e.g. by double-clicking on the symbol (legend)) so that the user can choose another symbol.

You could get some ideas from how Esri does their Symbol Playground.

[VivienWong]

The Symbol Playground does provide a quick code reference for particular symbols but it does not provide the UI code that allows the user to choose and pick their preferred symbol.

[BlakeTerhune]

True. I meant it as you'd have to inspect their app and repurpose their code. Would be interesting to have a widget already available to configure for this purpose though.

SymbolStyler will not be a widget released in the JS API. However, it will be released as a web component available for public use at some point. We don't have an estimated public release date at this point.

Thanks Kristian for your updates. Do you mean that SymbolStyler will be available for the end-users of ArcGIS Online but it will not available in JS API? 

[KristianEkenes]

It won't be available in ArcGIS JS API, but it will be available as a component in another library released by Esri. Similar to Calcite components - https://esri.github.io/calcite-components/?path=/story/overview-getting-started--page

Hi @KristianEkenes, are there any information about the release date of the library? Thanks for You feedback.

[KristianEkenes]

No planned date yet. I’ll ask around.
