I am using the NearMe widget to allow user to search for an address, owner name or parcel id to select a parcel and buffer 1000'. The widget then shows the community residential homes within the buffer. No problem.
When the widget is active, the user can click on the map and a circular buffer will be created and used. Currently, I just disabled the on clicks stuff in the widget so the user doesn't have a chance to click on the map.
Most of the time, the user doesn't know the address, owner or parcel id right away. I wan't them to be able to click a parcel on the map and use that feature. We have to use the parcel polygon because the shape of the parcel is what the 1000' city ordinance is based upon, so the point isn't going to work.
I've identified the location in the widget code where there is an if:then to return the selectedFeature if the user clicked the map or if the user entered an address, name or parcel id. I'm trying to intercept the portion where the user clicked the map and select the feature from the parcel layer and return that instead. However, the deferred, promise deal is causing some headaches for me. No matter what, the _getSelectedFeatureFromResult returns nothing to the _initWorkflow function when the user clicks the map.
Any ideas would be helpful
_getSelectedFeatureFromResult: function (evt) {
var selectedFeature;
if (evt) {
if (evt.feature) {
deferred = new Deferred();
var pfl = this.map.getLayer("ParcelWeb_2552");
var query = new Query();
query.geometry = evt.feature.geometry;
pfl.selectFeatures(query,FeatureLayer.SELECTION_NEW).then(lang.hitch(this, function (results) {
if (results && results.length > 0) {
deferred.resolve(results);
} else {
deferred.resolve([]);
}
}), lang.hitch(this, function () {
deferred.resolve([]);
}));
return deferred.promise;
} else if (evt.result && evt.result.feature) {
selectedFeature = evt.result.feature;
return evt.result.feature;
}
}
},
.
