Hello all!
I am attempting to add a layer via a URL that the user provides via a text box in the UI.
I can capture the layer URL and work with it in JS, but when I attempt to use it to create a layer, I get the following error in the console "Uncaught TypeError: a.hasChildNodes is not a function"
Here is the JS code that attempts to use the entered URL to create a new Dynamic Map Service Layer:
NOTE: The URL I have been working with is: nowcoast/mapoverlays_political (MapServer)
var layerURLbox = registry.byId("LayerURLbox");
on(dom.byId("layerSubmit"), "click", getValue);
function getValue() {
console.log(layerURLbox.get("value"));
layerValue = layerURLbox.get("value")
getLayerType(layerValue);
}
function getLayerType(layerURLValue) {
if (layerURLValue.indexOf("MapServer")) {
console.log("Map Service");
var layer = new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer(layerURLValue, {
id: "Test"
})
map.addLayer(layer);
}
The console error I mentioned occurs on line 14, where I attempt to create the new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer.
It does not make it to map.addLayer.
If anyone has any pointers or has tried this before, please let me know!
Thank you!
Chris
Make sure the arguments in the require function match the order of the modules that are loaded.
