daniel, it would definitely be simpler, but it wouldn't be very secure to store usernames and passwords in your application source. 🙂 if you'd like to authenticate on behalf of your end users, you should be using a proxy. the sample below doesn't spin up using createMap(), but comparable logic is used to force requests to a subscription routing service through a proxy which generates a token dynamically. directions https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jssamples/widget_directions_basic.html ...

hi michael, first, i recommend checking out this blog post. in general, in order to fully convert your own code to AMD, you would need to remove all of your existing calls to dojo.require() and place all of your application code within a require callback (or several) which loads the same modules. afterward you will then reference what you need using aliases instead of relying on global namespace objects. for example: dojo.require("esri.dijit.LocateButton"); .. geoLocate = new esri.dijit.LocateButton({map: map}, "LocateButton"); //becomes require(["esri/dijit/LocateButton", ...), function(LocateButton, ...) {   geoLocate = new LocateButton({map: map}, "LocateButton"); } ...

glad to hear you were able to sort yourself out daniel!  thanks for taking the time to share the solutions. ... View more

hi vibin, you could start by taking a look at these samples https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jstutorials/mobile_dev.html https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jssamples/#search/mobile ... View more

hi ken, marla is right.  the ellipses are intended to indicate that it is possible (but not required by the snippet itself) to load additional AMD modules. when you load another unrelated module, you would also refer to that module with a corresponding argument alias. require([   "esri/graphic", "esri/secondModule" ], function(Graphic, secondModule ) {   var myLine = {geometry:{"paths":[[[-91.40625,6.328125],[6.328125,19.3359375]]],     "spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}},     "symbol":{"color":[0,0,0,255],"width":1,"type":"esriSLS","style":"esriSLSSolid"}};   var gra = new Graphic(myLine);   ... }); see this blog for more info ...

no problem Glenn, ArcGIS Online for Organizations gives you the capability of publishing both secure and public 'hosted feature services'.  afterward all of our RESTful developer APIs can be used to talk to the service interactively (ie. query for JSON features based on either a SQL clause or spatial relationship or even POST edits) here are a few helpful links which discuss the publishing steps https://developers.arcgis.com/tools/csv-to-feature-service/ http://video.esri.com/watch/1342/publish-hosted-feature-layers as an alternative, our JS API now also includes a CSV layer which allows you to talk to CSVs published on a web server directly.  if you can think of a way to 'secure' the CSV itself, that would be an option too. ...

glenn, i wasn't talking about hosting a CSV on a web server.  i was talking about publishing a RESTful service which could be queried dynamically by your application to display graphics. you could enforce security and require a login to access the hosted feature service itself if the data is sensitive and use something like a proxy from within your application if you wanted to avoid having people login twice. ...

Using ArcGIS Online, you can published Tiled Map Services (consumed in our JavaScript API as ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayers) and hosted feature layers (FeatureLayers).  You can also leverage utility Geocoding, Routing, Analysis, Geometry, GeoEnrichment and print services. The only layer types I can think of at the moment which cannot be consumed without ArcGIS Server are ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayers, image service layers, or services that incorporate custom data for geocoding, routing or geoprocessing. also, just my two cents, but i'd argue that Tim's suggestion of programmatically defining graphics is probably not the best approach for you here.  If you have more than a handful of features to manage I would highly suggest leveraging something like a hosted feature service (for example, by uploading a CSV or shapefile) instead of coding graphics by hand. that way you can load your hosted feature service into individual webmaps, modify symbology and popups and then publish using existing templates.

Oyvind, thanks for that!  i was definitely able to reproduce the error when trying to pan and zoom in the middle of drawing the 1000 polygon graphics in my own feature layer. i wrote up a quick fiddle to demonstrate how to resolve this problem based on threads you shared. ... View more
