var homeWidget = new Home({
  view: view
});

// adds the home widget to the top left corner of the MapView
view.ui.add(homeWidget, "top-left");

// typical usage
var homeButton = new Home({
  view: view,
  viewpoint: new Viewpoint()
});

Property Overview

Property Details

containerString|HTMLElement

The ID or node representing the DOM element containing the widget. This property can only be set once.

declaredClassStringreadonly

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

destroyedBoolean

When true, this property indicates whether the widget has been destroyed.

idString

The unique ID assigned to the widget when the widget is created. If not set by the developer, it will default to the container ID, or if that is not present then it will be automatically generated.

viewMapView|SceneView

A reference to the MapView or SceneView. Set this to link the widget to a specific view.

viewModelHomeViewModel autocast

The view model for this widget. This is a class that contains all the logic (properties and methods) that controls this widget's behavior. See the HomeViewModel class to access all properties and methods on the widget.

viewpointViewpoint

The Viewpoint, or point of view, to zoom to when going home. The initial value is determined a few different ways:

• If no View is provided, the value is null.
• If the View is ready, but the Viewpoint is not defined, the initial value of the Viewpoint is determined when the View became ready.
• If the View is ready and the Viewpoint is defined by the user, the initial viewpoint value is the user-defined Viewpoint.

Example:

// Creates a viewpoint centered on the extent of a polygon geometry
var vp = new Viewpoint({
  targetGeometry: geom.extent
});

// Sets the model's viewpoint to the Viewpoint based on a polygon geometry
home.viewpoint = vp;
