MapImageLayer Sublayer Geomtery Type

RodrigoFelga · ‎11-17-2017

Whats is the way (if exists) to get the geometry type (point, line, polygon) of a MapImageLayerSublayer? I'm using js API 4.5. The way i'm doing is going on the server again and geting the json of the layer to get the geometry type

OK, from you post I was not sure if you were aware of the REST Layers endpoint for getting all map service layers or if you were doing a server round trip for each layer. As I mentioned there is not current way to do this without a service trip.

Rodrigo,

I am not aware of any property to do this in 4.5 but you can just take the url of the whole MapService and append "layers" to the end of the url and do an esriRequest and parse the results json for layers.geometryType.

Here is a sample:

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no">

    body,

    require([

      ) {

        /*****************************************************************

        });

        var statesRenderer = new SimpleRenderer({
          symbol: new SimpleFillSymbol({
            style: "none",
            outline: {

Rodrigo,

Did the sample I posted help?

RodrigoFelga · ‎11-21-2017

I was already doing it that way, I'm wondering if is possible do do that without another roundtrip to the server. Thank you for your reply

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎11-21-2017

OK, from you post I was not sure if you were aware of the REST Layers endpoint for getting all map service layers or if you were doing a server round trip for each layer. As I mentioned there is not current way to do this without a service trip.

Is this still true in 2024? You have to manually request the URL and parse it, even if you already have a MapImageLayer object?
