    haloColor: [0, 0, 0],
    haloSize: 2,
    font: { family: "Arial", size: 14 },
  },
});
textLayer.add(textGraphic);

Layer Management

Adding Layers

// Add single layer
map.add(layer);

// Add at specific index (0 = bottom)
map.add(layer, 0);

// Add multiple layers
map.addMany([layer1, layer2, layer3]);

// Add to Map Component
const viewElement = document.querySelector("arcgis-map");
viewElement.map.add(layer);

Removing Layers

map.remove(layer);
map.removeMany([layer1, layer2]);
map.removeAll();

Layer Ordering

// Reorder layer
map.reorder(layer, newIndex);

// Get layer position
const index = map.layers.indexOf(layer);

// Find layer by id
const layer = map.findLayerById("myLayerId");

// Find layer by title
const layer = map.layers.find((l) => l.title === "Cities");

Visibility and Opacity

layer.visible = false;
layer.opacity = 0.5; // 0-1

// Watch visibility changes
import * as reactiveUtils from "@arcgis/core/core/reactiveUtils.js";

reactiveUtils.watch(
  () => layer.visible,
  (newValue) => console.log("Visibility changed:", newValue),
);

Querying Features

Basic Query

// Create query from layer settings
const query = featureLayer.createQuery();
query.where = "population > 100000";
query.outFields = ["name", "population"];
query.returnGeometry = true;

const result = await featureLayer.queryFeatures(query);
console.log(result.features); // Array of Graphic objects

Query with Pagination

const query = featureLayer.createQuery();
query.start = 0; // Start index
query.num = 20; // Number of features
query.orderByFields = ["population DESC"];

const result = await featureLayer.queryFeatures(query);

Spatial Query

const query = featureLayer.createQuery();
query.geometry = view.extent; // Or any geometry
query.spatialRelationship = "intersects"; // contains, crosses, etc.
query.returnGeometry = true;

const result = await featureLayer.queryFeatures(query);

Count Query

const count = await featureLayer.queryFeatureCount();
console.log("Total features:", count);

Extent Query

const result = await featureLayer.queryExtent();
console.log("Feature count:", result.count);
await view.goTo(result.extent);

Statistics Query

const query = featureLayer.createQuery();
query.outStatistics = [
  {
    statisticType: "sum",
    onStatisticField: "population",
    outStatisticFieldName: "totalPop",
  },
  {
    statisticType: "avg",
    onStatisticField: "population",
    outStatisticFieldName: "avgPop",
  },
];

const result = await featureLayer.queryFeatures(query);
console.log(result.features[0].attributes.totalPop);

Query from LayerView (Client-side)

const layerView = await view.whenLayerView(featureLayer);

// Query only currently visible features
const query = layerView.createQuery();
query.geometry = view.extent;

const result = await layerView.queryFeatures(query);

Query Methods Reference

Server vs Client-side Queries

Layer Loading

// Wait for layer to load
await featureLayer.load();
console.log("Fields:", featureLayer.fields);
console.log("Extent:", featureLayer.fullExtent);

// Wait for layer view
const layerView = await view.whenLayerView(featureLayer);

// Check if updating
reactiveUtils.watch(
  () => layerView.updating,
  (updating) => {
    if (!updating) {
      console.log("Layer view finished updating");
    }
  },
);

Definition Expressions (Filters)

// SQL WHERE clause filter
featureLayer.definitionExpression = "state = 'California'";

// Clear filter
featureLayer.definitionExpression = null;

// Dynamic filter
function filterByYear(year) {
  featureLayer.definitionExpression = `year = ${year}`;
}

TypeScript Usage

Layer configurations with type properties support autocasting. For TypeScript safety, use as const:

// Use 'as const' for type safety
const featureLayer = new FeatureLayer({
  source: graphics,
  fields: [
    { name: "ObjectID", type: "oid" },
    { name: "name", type: "string" },
  ],
  geometryType: "point",
  renderer: {
    type: "simple",
    symbol: { type: "simple-marker", color: "blue" },
  } as const,
});

For complex layer configurations, use type annotations:

const renderer: __esri.SimpleRendererProperties = {
  type: "simple",
  symbol: { type: "simple-marker", color: "blue" },
};

layer.renderer = renderer;

Tip: See arcgis-core-maps for detailed guidance on autocasting vs explicit classes.

Common Pitfalls

1. CORS errors with GeoJSON: GeoJSON URLs must be CORS-enabled or use a proxy.
2. Missing outFields: Queries return no attribute values unless outFields is specified. // Anti-pattern: querying without outFields const results = await featureLayer.queryFeatures({where: "population > 100000", returnGeometry: true,}); console.log(results.features[0].attributes.name); // undefined // Correct: specify outFields to include desired attributes const results = await featureLayer.queryFeatures({where: "population > 100000", returnGeometry: true, outFields: ["name", "population", "state"],}); console.log(results.features[0].attributes.name); // "Los Angeles" Impact: Feature attributes come back as undefined or null. The query succeeds but the response contains no usable attribute data, leading to silent data bugs.
3. Not waiting for layer load: Layer metadata (fields, extent, renderer) is unavailable until the layer finishes loading. // Anti-pattern: accessing properties before load const layer = new FeatureLayer({url: "https://services.arcgis.com/.../FeatureServer/0",}); console.log(layer.fields); // null - layer has not loaded yet console.log(layer.fullExtent); // null // Correct: await layer.load() first const layer = new FeatureLayer({url: "https://services.arcgis.com/.../FeatureServer/0",}); await layer.load(); console.log(layer.fields); // Array of Field objects console.log(layer.fullExtent); // Extent object Impact: fields is null or an empty array, fullExtent is null, and any code that depends on layer metadata throws errors or silently fails.
4. Wrong layer for MapView vs SceneView: Some layers only work in 3D (SceneLayer, IntegratedMeshLayer, PointCloudLayer).
5. Spatial reference mismatch: Adding layers with a different spatial reference than the view without projection support. // Anti-pattern: adding a layer in a different SR without handling projection const view = new MapView({spatialReference: {wkid: 4326}, // WGS84}); const layer = new FeatureLayer({url: "https://services.arcgis.com/.../FeatureServer/0", // Data in Web Mercator (3857)}); view.map.add(layer); // Features may render in wrong location // Correct: match spatial references or load the projection engine import * as projection from "@arcgis/core/geometry/projection.js"; await projection.load(); const view = new MapView({spatialReference: {wkid: 4326},}); const layer = new FeatureLayer({url: "https://services.arcgis.com/.../FeatureServer/0",}); view.map.add(layer); // Projection engine handles the transformation Impact: Features appear in the wrong location, are offset by thousands of kilometers, or do not display at all when spatial references are incompatible.
