Property Overview

Property Details

declaredClassStringreadonly

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

environmentEnvironment autocast

The initial environment settings of the WebScene.

spatialReferenceSpatialReference autocast

The spatial reference of the WebScene. This indicates the Projected Coordinate System or the Geographic Coordinate System used to locate geographic features in the map. In a SceneView the following supported coordinate systems are available.

viewingModeString

The viewing mode of the scene. Global scenes allow the user to navigate the globe. Local scenes allow for navigation and feature display in a particular "localized" area. Users may also navigate the view's camera below the surface of a basemap in local scenes.

Known Values: global | local

Default Value: global

Method Overview

Method Details

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
});

clone(){InitialViewProperties}

Creates a deep clone of this object.

Returns:

Type	Description
InitialViewProperties	Creates a deep clone of the instance that called this method.

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.

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
});
