Property Overview

Property Details

declaredClassStringreadonly

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

isGeographicBooleanreadonly

Indicates if the spatial reference refers to a geographic coordinate system.

isWebMercatorBooleanreadonly

Indicates if the wkid of the spatial reference object is one of the following values: 102113, 102100, 3857.

isWGS84Booleanreadonly

Indicates if the wkid of the spatial reference object is 4326.

isWrappableBooleanreadonly

Indicates if the spatial reference of the map supports wrapping around the International Date Line. Value is true if the spatial reference is Web Mercator or WGS84.

WebMercatorSpatialReference

A convenience spatial reference instance for Web Mercator. This property is static.

Example:

// returns true if the webMercatorUtils can
// project geometries from WGS84 to Web Mercator
var canProjectWGS84toWebMercator = webMercatorUtils.canProject(SpatialReference.WGS84, SpatialReference.WebMercator);

WGS84SpatialReference

A convenience spatial reference instance for WGS84. This property is static.

Example:

// returns true if the webMercatorUtils can
// project geometries from WGS84 to Web Mercator
var canProjectWGS84toWebMercator = webMercatorUtils.canProject(SpatialReference.WGS84, SpatialReference.WebMercator);

wkidNumber

The well-known ID of a spatial reference. See Projected Coordinate Systems and Geographic Coordinate Systems for the list of supported spatial references.

wktString

The well-known text that defines a spatial reference. Many browsers have a limit to the length of a GET request of approximately 2048 characters. When using well-known text to specify the spatial reference you can easily exceed this limit. In these cases, you will need to setup and use a proxy page.

Method Overview

Method Details

clone(){SpatialReference}

Returns a deep clone of the spatial reference object.

Returns:

Type	Description
SpatialReference	Returns a deep clone of the spatial reference object.

equals(spatialReference){Boolean}

Checks if the specified spatial reference object has the same wkid or wkt as this spatial reference object.

Parameter:

spatialReference SpatialReference The spatial reference to compare to.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns true if the input spatial reference object has the same wkid or wkt as this spatial reference object.

Example:

require(["esri/geometry/SpatialReference"], function(SpatialReference) {
  var sr1 = new SpatialReference(4326);
  var sr2 = new SpatialReference(4326);
  console.log(sr1.equals(sr2)); // true
});

fromJSON(json){*}static

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from a product in the ArcGIS platform. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter:

json Object A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns:

Type	Description
*	Returns a new instance of this class.

toJSON(){Object}

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS Portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for more information.

Returns:

Type	Description
Object	The ArcGIS Portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
