require(["esri/portal/Portal"], function(Portal) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/portal/Portal
Inheritance: Portal Accessor
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0

The Portal class is part of the ArcGIS Portal API which provides a way to build applications that work with content from ArcGIS Online or an ArcGIS Portal API. ArcGIS Portal API is software from Esri that customers can deploy either on-premises or in the cloud. ArcGIS Online is Esri's Software as a Service offering that represents GIS as a Service and is implemented using the same technology as ArcGIS Portal.

The Portal API allows application developers to work with users, groups and content hosted within ArcGIS Online or within an ArcGIS Portal. The API allows developers to build web, mobile, and desktop applications that support sharing and collaboration using web maps. Organizational developers can also use the API to build custom applications for their users.

The Portal class provides a view of the portal as seen by the current user, anonymous or logged in. Includes information such as the name, logo, featured items and supported protocols (http vs https) for this portal. If the user is not logged in, this call will return the default view of the portal. If the user is logged in, the view of the portal returned will be specific to the organization that the user belongs to. The default view of the portal is dependent on the culture of the user which is obtained from the users profile.

An instance of Portal is also a Promise. Call the then() method on the Portal instance to execute processes that may only run after the Portal is loaded.

// load the Portal and PortalQueryParams modules
require(["esri/portal/Portal",
 "esri/portal/PortalQueryParams",
 "dojo/domReady!"], function(Portal, PortalQueryParams) {
  portal = new Portal();
  // Setting authMode to immediate signs the user in once loaded
  portal.authMode = "immediate";

  // Once portal is loaded, user signed in
  portal.load().then(function() {
    console.log(portal);

    // Create query parameters for the portal search
    // This object autocasts as esri/portal/PortalQueryParams
    var queryParams = {
      query: "owner:" + portal.user.username,
      sortField: "numViews",
      sortOrder: "desc",
      num: 20
    };
    // Query the items based on the queryParams created from portal above
    portal.queryItems(queryParams).then(createGallery);
  });
});

       });
     });
   });
});

then(callback, errback, progback){Promise}

An instance of this class is a Promise. Therefore then() may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: a callback function and an errback function. The callback executes when the promise resolves (when the instance of the class loads). The errback executes if the promise fails. See the Working with Promises guide page for additional details.

Parameters:
callback Function
optional

The function to call when the promise resolves.

errback Function
optional
