The ArcGIS Arcade<\/a> documentation pages recently underwent a significant revision in an effort to clarify language features and improve the introduction to the language.<\/p>\n

You can access the updated documentation at https:\/\/developers.arcgis.com\/arcade\/<\/a>. Before showing off some of the changes, I’ll provide a brief overview of why these changes were needed.<\/p>\n

Why update the documentation?<\/h2>\n

Prior to this update, Arcade’s introduction lacked the basic terminology and definitions typically required for people attempting to learn any scripting or expression language. Some topics were incomplete and difficult to discover from the home page.<\/p>\n

Concepts specific to Arcade, like profiles and profile variables (formerly known as global variables), previously weren\u2019t described in depth. Finally, the concepts listed in the table of contents, in retrospect, could have been ordered in a more helpful manner.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1766832,"id":1766832,"title":"former-logic","filename":"former-logic.png","filesize":133298,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/former-logic.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/developers\/introducing-new-arcade-documentation\/former-logic","alt":"The former structure and logic page","author":"6561","description":"","caption":"Formerly, all Arcade language features were described on a single page called \"Structure and logic\".

Revisions<\/h2>\n

Now let’s take a look at a few of the major revisions made to the documentation.<\/p>\n

Home page and table of contents<\/h3>\n

The home page<\/a> was simplified to only describe what Arcade is, where it is used, and why it was created. We added an expandable Language features<\/a> section, which describes core language features, such as statements, variable declarations, type casting, and reserved words. This was deliberately placed right after the introduction since it contains important information for learning the language, which we deemed more important than the pages below it.<\/p>\n

We also added two new pages: Supported products<\/a> and Resources<\/a>. Supported products lists all the ArcGIS products where you can author<\/em> Arcade expressions. Please note that it does not reflect all the apps where an existing expression may run if loaded from a web map. Resources is intended to be a place where you can find additional learning material, including presentations and blogs, where you can learn how to use Arcade in specific scenarios.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1766922,"id":1766922,"title":"new-home","filename":"new-home-1.png","filesize":112541,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-home-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/developers\/introducing-new-arcade-documentation\/new-home-2","alt":"The new home page for the Arcade documentation.","author":"6561","description":"","caption":"The home page was simplified to describe the what, where, and why of Arcade.

Language features<\/h3>\n

The Language features<\/a> section replaces the former Structure and logic<\/em> page with 15 new pages that describe the Arcade syntax and language constructs. You will find detailed documentation about the rules that were always present, but weren\u2019t previously documented. This includes variable naming conventions, reserved words, implicit type casting, and a more complete definition of profiles to name just a few. We also added best practices, debugging tips, and suggestions for writing performant expressions.<\/p>\n

Profiles<\/h3>\n

The Profiles<\/a> page was updated to define the various parts that make up a profile. This should add clarity to how a profile is defined, why profiles matter, and which functions are available in each.<\/p>\n

Functions<\/h3>\n

We reorganized the built-in Arcade functions<\/a> from seven categories to 13. Functions are categorized based on the data types the functions are designed for, and in some cases, the context or purpose of each function.<\/p>\n

For example, we previously documented 59 “data functions”. The data functions was a catch-all category for functions that helped you work with data in any form. It was large, and therefore difficult to discover specific functions.<\/p>\n

Functions, like Count<\/a>, were difficult to discover depending on the type of input data you used. For example, Count<\/code> can be used to return the number of items in an array<\/a> or a FeatureSet<\/a>, or the number of characters in a text<\/a> value. Previously, if you looked for Count<\/code> in Text functions<\/a>, you wouldn\u2019t find it there. Now you can find function overloads for Count in Text<\/a>, Array<\/a>, and FeatureSet<\/a> functions.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1766862,"id":1766862,"title":"new-functions","filename":"new-functions.png","filesize":151786,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-functions.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/developers\/introducing-new-arcade-documentation\/new-functions","alt":"The function reference of the Arcade documentation.","author":"6561","description":"","caption":"The new function reference landing page.

Function bundles<\/h3>\n

Not all functions are available in every Arcade profile. For example, you can use FeatureSet functions in popup expressions, but not in expressions used in layer styles. The new documentation attempts to make what is included and excluded in each profile more transparent by introducing function bundles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A function bundle is a set (or bundle) of functions available in a specific context. For example, the core bundle<\/a> includes functions available in every Arcade profile. This means no matter where you write Arcade, these functions will always be available to you. Other bundles, such as data access<\/a>, bundle functions for accessing data through database queries.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1766852,"id":1766852,"title":"new-function-bundles","filename":"new-function-bundles.png","filesize":121797,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-function-bundles.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/developers\/introducing-new-arcade-documentation\/new-function-bundles","alt":"Function bundles matrix","author":"6561","description":"","caption":"This matrix describes which functions are included in each bundle.","name":"new-function-bundles","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1766782,"date":"2022-11-09 21:09:17","modified":"2022-11-10 00:25:40","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":890,"height":740,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-function-bundles-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-function-bundles.png","medium-width":314,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-function-bundles.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":639,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-function-bundles.png","large-width":890,"large-height":740,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-function-bundles.png","1536x1536-width":890,"1536x1536-height":740,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-function-bundles.png","2048x2048-width":890,"2048x2048-height":740,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-function-bundles-559x465.png","card_image-width":559,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/new-function-bundles.png","wide_image-width":890,"wide_image-height":740}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
