To assist with editing geometries in 3D, the following enhancements have been made to sketch tools:<\/p>\n
- \n
- In addition to the option of being placed on the ground, features can be moved along the z-axis above or below ground.<\/li>\n
- The interactive handles placed on 3D symbols allow them to be scaled or rotated.<\/li>\n
- Laser lines projected onto the terrain and objects in the scene help you align geometries in the 3D space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Feature table widget (beta)<\/h2>\n
The\u00a0FeatureTable<\/a> widget provides an interactive tabular view of each feature’s attributes in a feature layer. The table efficiently loads large datasets quickly; as the user scrolls through the table, features are dynamically loaded. In addition, users can select rows (features) within the table, sort them based on an attribute, and choose to show\/hide an attribute column. This widget is still in its beta version and will evolve with upcoming releases.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0widget can be used on its own as a simple table without a map, or in conjunction with a map.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":803981,"id":803981,"title":"feature_table","filename":"feature_table-1.png","filesize":80535,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_table-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/js-api-arcgis\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-api-for-javascript-april-2020\/feature_table-2","alt":"","author":"4271","description":"","caption":"","name":"feature_table-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":785891,"date":"2020-04-07 23:23:03","modified":"2020-04-07 23:23:03","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":1138,"height":570,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_table-1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_table-1.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":232,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_table-1.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":385,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_table-1.png","large-width":1138,"large-height":570,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_table-1.png","1536x1536-width":1138,"1536x1536-height":570,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_table-1.png","2048x2048-width":1138,"2048x2048-height":570,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_table-1-826x414.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":414,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/feature_table-1.png","wide_image-width":1138,"wide_image-height":570}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"http:\/\/developers.arcgis.com\/javascript\/latest\/sample-code\/widgets-featuretable-map\/index.html"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
Working with attachments<\/h2>\n
Attachments now can be edited via the Editor<\/a> widget. If the feature layer being edited has attachments enabled, controls for adding, deleting, and updating are displayed in the widget.<\/p>\n
Some improvements have been made to how attachments are displayed in popups. Along with a thumbnail of the attachment, the file format and size are displayed. If the file format isn\u2019t an image file, a thumbnail indicating the type of file is shown. Under the hood, the popup is using the new Attachments<\/a> widget. Since the attachment experience is packaged as a standalone widget, you can also integrate attachment viewing into your own custom workflows.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":802551,"id":802551,"title":"attachments-merged","filename":"attachments-merged.png","filesize":83238,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/attachments-merged.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/js-api-arcgis\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-api-for-javascript-april-2020\/attachments-merged","alt":"","author":"4271","description":"","caption":"","name":"attachments-merged","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":785891,"date":"2020-04-07 17:38:49","modified":"2020-04-07 17:38:49","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":1008,"height":474,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/attachments-merged-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/attachments-merged.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":218,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/attachments-merged.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":361,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/attachments-merged.png","large-width":1008,"large-height":474,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/attachments-merged.png","1536x1536-width":1008,"1536x1536-height":474,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/attachments-merged.png","2048x2048-width":1008,"2048x2048-height":474,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/attachments-merged-826x388.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":388,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/attachments-merged.png","wide_image-width":1008,"wide_image-height":474}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"http:\/\/developers.arcgis.com\/javascript\/latest\/sample-code\/popup-editaction\/index.html"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
Filter parts of a BuildingSceneLayer using x-ray or wireframe styles<\/h2>\n

Align features to integrated mesh layers<\/h2>\n
As far as elevation is concerned, the API now treats an\u00a0IntegratedMeshLayer<\/a> in your 3D scene as if it was the ground.

API modernization<\/h2>\n
The API now returns native promises by default. For developers, this means that any promise you receive from the API is now a standard JavaScript promise<\/a> (aka \u201cnative promise\u201d). They are nearly identical to Dojo deferred\/promise, with the a few differences which are listed in the release notes<\/a>. Note: This might require code changes in your app.<\/em><\/p>\n
If you are not ready to move to native promises, you can opt out by using the has flag which was made available to enable native JavaScript promises in 4.12<\/a>. This flag will be removed in the next release (4.16).<\/p>\n
For a very high-level view of the direction that the API is heading, checkout the API modernization<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>portion of the 2020 Developer Summit plenary. API modernization will also be covered in an upcoming blog post in greater detail.<\/p>\n
There’s a lot more…<\/h2>\n
There’s quite a bit more in this release, such as improvements to point clustering, widget enhancements, a new metallic roughness material for mesh geometries (you can see it in this cool rendition of Mammoth Mountain<\/a>), and new options for popups.
