Method Overview

Method Details

addRating(rating){Promise}

Adds a rating to an accessible item.

Parameter:

rating Number | PortalRating Rating to set for the item. Rating must be a number between 1.0 and 5.0.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	When resolved, a PortalRating is returned.

always(callbackOrErrback){Promise}

An instance of this class is a Promise. Therefore always() may be used to execute a function if the promise is rejected or resolved. The input function will always execute no matter the response. For more information about promises, see the Working with Promises guide page.

Parameter:

callbackOrErrback Function optional The function to execute when the promise is rejected or resolved.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	Returns a new promise for the result of callbackOrErrback.

Example:

// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use always() in the same way
var view = new MapView();
view.always(function(){
  // This function will always execute whether or not the promise is resolved or rejected
});

cancelLoad()

Cancels a load() operation if it is already in progress.

deleteRating(){Promise}

Deletes a rating for the specified item.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	Resolved when the rating successfully deletes.

fetchData(responseType){Promise}

Requests a PortalItem in the format specified in responseType.

Parameter:

responseType String optional The format of the response. Default Value: json Known Values: json | xml | text | blob | array-buffer | document

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	When resolved, returns the requested data.

fetchRating(){Promise}

Returns the rating (if any) given to the item.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	When resolved, a PortalRating is returned.

fetchRelatedItems(params){Promise}

Gets all the related items of a certain relationship type for the portal item. An optional direction can be specified if the direction of the relationship is ambiguous. Otherwise, the service will try to infer it.

Parameters:

params Object See the object specifications table below for the parameters that may be passed as properties in this object. Specification: relationshipType String The type of relationship between the two items. See Relationship types for a complete listing of types. direction String optional The direction of the relationship. Can either be forward (from origin to destination) or reverse (from destination to origin). Possible Values: forward | reverse

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	When resolved, resolves to an array of the related PortalItem.

Example:

var queryParam = {
   relationshipType: "Service2Data"
};

portalItem.fetchRelatedItems(queryParam).then(function(results){
   console.log("related portal item", results);
});

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.

getThumbnailUrl(width){String}

Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.4

Get the URL to the thumbnail image for the item.

Available width sizes: 200, 400, 800 and 2400.

Parameter:

width Number optional The desired image width.

Returns:

Type	Description
String	The URL to the thumbnail image.

isFulfilled(){Boolean}

An instance of this class is a Promise. Therefore isFulfilled() may be used to verify if the promise is fulfilled (either resolved or rejected). If it is fulfilled, true will be returned. See the Working with Promises guide page for more information about promises.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Indicates whether the promise has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected).

isRejected(){Boolean}

An instance of this class is a Promise. Therefore isRejected() may be used to verify if the promise is rejected. If it is rejected, true will be returned. See the Working with Promises guide page for more information about promises.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Indicates whether the promise has been rejected.

isResolved(){Boolean}

An instance of this class is a Promise. Therefore isResolved() may be used to verify if the promise is resolved. If it is resolved, true will be returned. See the Working with Promises guide page for more information about promises.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Indicates whether the promise has been resolved.

load(){Promise}

Loads the resources referenced by this class. This method automatically executes for a View and all of the resources it references in Map if the view is constructed with a map instance.

This method must be called by the developer when accessing a resource that will not be loaded in a View.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	Resolves when the resources have loaded.

otherwise(errback){Promise}

An instance of this class is a Promise. Use otherwise() to call a function once the promise is rejected.

Parameter:

errback Function optional The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	Returns a new promise for the result of errback.

Example:

// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use otherwise() in the same way
var view = new MapView();
view.otherwise(function(error){
  // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error
});

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 The function to execute when the promise fails.

progback Function optional The function to invoke when the promise emits a progress update.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	Returns a new promise for the result of callback that may be used to chain additional functions.

Example:

// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use then() in the same way
var view = new MapView();
view.then(function(){
  // This function will execute once the promise is resolved
}, function(error){
  // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error
});

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.

update(params){Promise}

Updates the item's properties to the portal, and optionally its data.

Parameters:

params Object optional See the object specifications table below for the parameters that may be passed as properties in this object. Specification: data String | Object Optional. The component used to stream the data represented by the item to the client.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise	Resolves when the portal item's properties have been updated.
