No worries. Thanks for hanging in there though... you were right: I had to do some debugging in Dev Tools, and actually learned a couple new tricks.

Okay, there was nothing wrong with the original code/syntax in this thread. Thanks to Robert for providing examples in his original post. What's been tripping me up has been using Typescript for my latest web development explorations. I will have to fork this into another thread and seek some help. When I write the following line in Typescript... let params = urlUtils_1.urlToObject(document.location.href); ...it compiles to this in Javascript... let params = urlUtils_1.default.urlToObject(document.location.href); and inserts a "default". Apparently, the browser doesn't care about the "_1" (underscore1). i've read a little about it and it seems to be innocuous. But it never assigns the URL info to params. If i tweak my compiled Javascript and remove the extra "default", it runs fine. In the Dev Tools console, I see: >query.where
<{__accessor__: b}
>query.where
<"LOCNO = '12345'> So I need to learn a little more about compiling Typescript, I guess.

Forking this from another thread because I ran into Typescript issues... What's been tripping me up has been using Typescript for my latest web development explorations. When I write the following line in Typescript... let params = urlUtils.urlToObject(document.location.href); ...it compiles to this in Javascript... let params = urlUtils_1.default.urlToObject(document.location.href); and inserts a "default". Apparently, the browser doesn't care about the "_1" (underscore1). I've read a little about it and it seems to be innocuous. But it never assigns the URL info to params. If I tweak my compiled Javascript and remove the extra "default", it runs fine. In the Dev Tools console, I see (background for what I was doing are in the above reference thread.) >query.where
<{__accessor__: b}
>query.where
<"LOCNO = '12345'> So how can I get my Typescript to not mess up the Javascript? Something I need to tweak in my tsconfig.json? This is what mine looks like: {
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "amd",
"target": "es6",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"noImplicitAny": true,

Thanks, Dan. I haven't dug too deep into which fonts are "allowed", nor did I create the original maps behind the map services. I'm a little surprised that seemingly common fonts like "Arial something" wouldn't be available. But I'll see what I can learn. Thanks for chiming in.

Thanks for writing Part 2. But it's been 2 years again. This should be a monthly installment thing. Following the API documentation and samples is great. But what I struggle with most is debugging. Chrome Dev Tools documentation helps. But tailoring some documentation to the ArcGIS JSAPI developer, especially the "accidental developer" type would be a terrific resources. ESRI's got such savvy folks...Please keep going!

Hey Dan, what solution did you come up with for this? I'm getting the similar and innocuous seeming error: It doesn't seem to "hurt" anything since it falls back to another font. But I figured there is probably a way to override the font spec from the map services (which, as you said is generated in Pro) with some JSAPI for text labels.

Haha, that's what I was afraid... so back to Dev Tools it is. I hate to say it but every time I think I may be warming up to Javascript, the debugging still has me pulling out way too much hair.

Great point. Something I didn't consider. But the field is a string. So now I've tried: app?LOC='12345', which the browser turns into ?LOC%2712345%27 app/index.htrml?LOC='12345' app/index.htrml?LOC=12345 It keeps ignoring this without errors. So then I thought: "Hey, when I instantiate the new View, I'm still assigning a center = [x,y]. So I removed that and added a else
{
view.goTo({center :[-90,35]});
} Now what happens is that, given a lack of x,y when view is created, the map zooms to 0,0,off the coast of West Africa. Grrrr... ! I think my whole "view.when" section is not working correctly, and the code block never really runs as expected. I will go ahead an redact it as needed and then add in the thread. Maybe I'm not seeing the forest for the trees.

Okay, there are some good examples after all but it's still not working for me. I've amalgamated a few (Robert Scheitlin, GISP, Rene Rubalcava) into this one here ... view.when(function(){
let params = urlUtils.default.urlToObject(document.location.href);
if (params.query && params.query.LOCNO) {
let query = new Query.default();
query.where = "LOCNO = '" + params.query.LOCNO + "'";
locLayer.queryExtent(query).then(function (results) {
setTimeout(function () {
view.goTo(results.extent).then(function () {
locLayer.definitionExpression = query.where;
});
}, 2000);
});
}
}); So I would like to create a URL along the lines of "https://mygreatdomain.com/..../index.html?LOCNO=12345". But this isn't working. In fact, it doesn't do anything. No errors. What am I missing?

How can build external links to an ArcGIS Javascript API map by, say including a unique key for a specific feature in a specific layer, so that the map opens up zoomed into said feature? Basically execute some search/find/query functionality when the page loads with parameters for this query coming from the external URL. I'm seeing some examples for the the out-of-the-box WAB apps here. But are there any examples for doing this with JSAPI?

Thanks, Kelly - now I get it. Either way, I'm glad that by use of Typescript and the jsapi types, I was alerted to this!

Okay, I'm confused.... it's quite possible that I got it backward though. This is what I was using before and which seemed to work. (Source: https://developers.arcgis.com/labs/javascript/select-a-basemap/ ) . In the main function , create a BasemapToggle widget. Set the view and the secondBasemap property to satellite .
var basemapToggle = new BasemapToggle({ view: view, secondMap: "satellite" }); Interestingly, the text says 'secondBasemap' and the code 'secondmap'. Both wrong? So are you saying they never existed? Anyway, like I said, it's working after I changed it to nextBasemap.

Just noticed that the BaseMapToggle widget has properties renamed... found this thanks to the helpful error messages when using Typescript. Used to be for 4.10 as follows... let basemapToggle = new BasemapToggle({
view: view,
secondmap: "satellite"
}) Now, it's let basemapToggle = new BasemapToggle({
view: view,
nextBasemap: "satellite"
}) Not a big deal but I didn't see that in the Release Notes. Is there a place to note observations like this that may be missing from documentation?
