Creating a map viewer without using ArcGIS.com webapp

[SteveOchieng]

Is there a possibility whereby I can develop a amp viewer using Arcgis API for Js without using a ArcGIS.com webapp ID. And if it is possible how do I go about it?

Steve,

  Almost all the JS API samples are focused around creating a map that is not dependent on a web map. So how do you do it, well you start with the JS API samples. Here's a good one to look at:

Hi Robert, Thank you.

Let me look into the samples.

I have been trying to use the configurable apps, can these also help me follow along my path or they can only be configured with the webapp ID?

Check out this link here, Create app templates—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS , it will point you to a sample github application that can be configured through ArcGIS online.  There are also some other links in the local navigation menu on the left for what configurations can be used and how.
