The WebGL rendering of feature Layer allows you to display more data in the map and update the visualization of features more rapidly. Although it is not supported in Web AppBuilder Developer Editon 2.8, you can manually opt in with the steps below. 1. Find the init.js file in the client/stemapp folder 2. Add a line to dojoConfig:   dojoConfig = {    parseOnLoad: false,    async: true,    tlmSiblingOfDojo: false,    has: {    'extend-esri': 1,    // add this line    'esri-featurelayer-webgl': 1    } }; 3.

Then call the following properties and method: var layerId = this.map.graphicsLayerIds[0]; var layer = this.map.getLayer(layerId); console.log("webgl enabled on map? ", this.map.webglEnabled); console.log("webgl enabled on layer? ", layer.webglEnabled); console.log("layer drawn with webgl? ", layer.hasWebGLSurface()); Also, see known limitations for the WebGL Feature Layer. ... View more
