I don't think this concept is supported by text symbols.  One solution would be to write a function that returns a polygon ring representing a letter.  This wouldn't be difficult to write but it would be time consuming as you'd have to handle creating a ring for each letter you need. ... View more

I don't know of any Esri software that does this.  My understanding is that all KML parsing is handled on the backend. There are open source libraries to convert KML into geoJSON, such as: GitHub - mapbox/togeojson: convert KML and GPX to GeoJSON, without the fuss (haven't tried it) Once you have geoJSON you can turn that into a feature collection easily enough. ...

To give a little more details, it does seem that you can set an InfoTemplate's content to a function, but it's not clear to me that that function can return a deferred object.  This example doesn't work: function giveString(){   return new Promise(fulfill => {     setTimeout(()=>fulfill('content'),500);   }); } // throws error let template = new InfoTemplate({   content: giveString }); ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

At this point in your code: var pt = new InfoTemplate({     content: getPopupTemplate });‍‍‍ You're setting the content equal to the result of getPopupTemplate, which is a promise (or a deferred object).  You need to reformulate things roughly like this: getPopupTemplate(target).then(function(html){   var pt = new InfoTemplate({     content: html   }); });‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Here's a sample that strips out each feature layer JSON from the request and replaces it with object ids filtered by the view's extent: JS Bin - Collaborative JavaScript Debugging  This doesn't seem to work from jsbin, but if you copy the html/js to here: ArcGIS API for JavaScript Sandbox and it works for me. The specifics of this process might vary for you but the specification does appear to be correct, so you can pass in objectIds rather than entire features.  For this example, the content length went from 169,698 to 11,319 and the image seems the same to me. I don't know why the JS API sends entire features, but there may be a good reason for it (or not). ... View more

20 MB, wow.  Just curious, how many features are being sent?   I think it's possible that you can send objectIds instead, as it says in the documentation, but (for whatever reason) sending whole features is preferred. I haven't tried it, but you might be able to tap into your export requests before they're sent using the "setRequestPreCallback" (as Robert mentioned) and replace the features with objectIds before the request is sent.  Another option would be to strip out attributes and other extraneous from the request.  You may not need most attributes (depends on your renderer) or you may be able to delete the attribute property entirely. I'll see if I can get a sample working to try out objectIds.   ... View more

My feeling is that the features are going to have to make their way to the print service one way or another in order to be converted to an image. Whether this is done by your client sending whatever feature data it has currently or the service making separate requests to the feature service based on the oids passed in, the result is going to be more or less the same. It's surprising to me that this is causing issues.  Are the features that get passed in filtered by the extent of the view?  How many features are we talking about here? ... View more

What do you mean by download user graphics?  Do you want to save user drawn graphics in a file, locally?  In what format, a ,json file with a json array of graphics? If I understood you question correctly, here's one way you might approach this: // start with array of graphics from any source let graphics = [graphic1, graphic2, graphic3]; // convert each graphic into JSON, now we have a valid JSON array let jsonGraphics = graphics.map(g => g.toJSON()); // first stringify the JSON, then URI encode it let jsonString = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(jsonGraphics)); // now you could set the JSON string as the href of an anchor tag with a download attribute let a = document.getElementById('download-graphics')' a.setAttribute('href', `data:text/json;charset=utf-8,${jsonString}`); a.setAttribute('download', 'graphics.json'); // now click the anchor link to download the .json file file‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ There are other methods to get the browser to download a file.  One of them is to open a new tab with a MIME type of 'application/octet-stream' instead of 'text/json'. ...

Are you seeing this with other widgets or only search?  The 4.XX widgets use a virtual DOM called maquette, and it seems possible that this is causing the issue. ... View more

Have you looked at this? Securing web services with Integrated Windows Authentication—Installation Guides (10.5) | ArcGIS Enterprise  I don't have any experience with anything other than arcgis server token authentication unfortunately so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this issue. Off the top of my head, when I look at your request to the MapServer that fails, nothing seems to be getting passed in that would enable authentication.  When you tried the open source example that worked, what did your requests look like? ...

Are there any console errors when this occurs?  ... View more

It looks like .5 is 50%, which will shrink it.  That's a little confusing because the method is called "expand," but I'd give 1.5 a try to grow the extent by 50%. ... View more
