Create a multi-line label from a single field (ArcGIS API for JS)

[WWUMap]

Hey All,

For my labels, I'd  like to stack every single word in my label field into a new line.

Thus:

      Student Recreation Center

Would become:

     Student
     Recreation
     Center

Essentially, I just need to replace ever space ( ' ' ) with textFormatting.NewLine.

I could just calc a new field, with a lot of textFormatting, but it seems like there should be an easy way to do this within the code.

thanks,

~stefan

Just string.replace(' ', textFormatting.NewLine), I would imagine.

@jcarlson   thanks for the idea. I didn't manage to get the string.replace syntax to work, in part because the arcade Replace did work. But I appreciate the suggestion.

@WWUMap ,

Use arcade expression replace function:

Replace($feature["attributeFieldName"], ' ', textFormatting.NewLine);

@Kishore - Thanks!

The arcade Replace works great.

Here's the code:

     const nameLabelClass = {
          labelExpressionInfo: {expression: "Replace($feature.Name, ' ', textFormatting.NewLine )"},
          };
