Zoom Out from a Queried Feature

[JeffHanson2]

I have a simple problem I can't seem to solve.   I query a feature and zoom to it:

      feaFarms.queryFeatures(query).then(function(results){

        const features = results.features;

        //view.goTo(features[0].geometry, 1000);

        var geometry = features[0].geometry;

        view.goTo(features[0].geometry);

After I "goTo" the queried feature geometry I want to zoom out a percentage so I can show some of the area surrounding the feature of interest.   I've tried getting and setting the scale but that doesn't work real well.

Hi @JeffHanson2, thanks for posting your question here. You can clone the geometry of the extent, and then expand by a value greater than 1 to zoom out a bit, like this:

feaFarms.queryFeatures(query).then(function(results){

        const features = results.features;

        var geometry = features[0].geometry.extent.clone().expand(1.5);

        view.goTo(geometry);

}

I also got this code to work:

      var geometry = features[0].geometry;

        var buffer = geometryEngine.buffer(geometry, 10, 'feet');

        view.extent = buffer.extent.expand(2);
