CDN: const FormTemplate = await $arcgis.import("@arcgis/core/form/FormTemplate.js");
Class: @arcgis/core/form/FormTemplate
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16
A FormTemplate
formats and defines the content of a FeatureForm for a specific Featurelayer or SubtypeSubLayer. The FormTemplate
allows the user to create and update feature attribute values which can be set directly on a Featurelayer, SubtypeSubLayer,a FeatureForm, a FeatureForm view model, or within the Editor's layerInfos. The FormTemplate
is composed of various elements that display a specific type of form data. Each element is designed to allow the form author the ability to define the layout for fields when collecting and/or editing data.
Forms can be created with a variety of elements, including:
field
, relationship
, or text
elements in the form.The FormTemplate
also supports the use of Arcade expressions to define form constraints and calculations. These expressions can be used to set the visibility of all form elements, make fields required, or dynamically calculate field values.
If a FormTemplate
is set on a FeatureLayer#formTemplate, SubtypeSublayer, or the Editor widget's layerInfos, it is used for all features within the specified layer. If the form's template is authored using the Map Viewer's authoring experience or Field Maps Designer, the resulting saved layer or web map item's JSON will contain a formInfo object.
Example
// Create a FieldElement
const fieldElement = new FieldElement({
fieldName: "inspector",
label: "Inspector name"
});
// Create a TextElement
const textElement = new TextElement({
textFormat: "markdown",
text: "**This text is bold.**"
});
// Create the group element and pass in the field and text elements
const groupElement = new GroupElement({
label: "This is a group",
elements: [fieldElement, textElement]
});
// Create the Form template and pass in elements
const formTemplate = new FormTemplate({
title: "Inspector report",
description: "Enter all relevant information below",
elements: [groupElement] // Add all elements to the template
});
// Add a new feature form with grouped fields
const form = new FeatureForm({
container: "form",
groupDisplay: "sequential", // only display one group at a time
formTemplate: formTemplate // set it to template created above
});
// Add a formtemplate to a feature layer
const featureLayer = new FeatureLayer({
url: "https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/ServiceRequest/FeatureServer/0",
outFields: ["*"],
formTemplate: formTemplate
});
map.add(featureLayer);
// Add a formtemplate to a subtype sublayer
const sublayer = new SubtypeSublayer({
layer: featureLayer,
subtype: "1",
formTemplate: formTemplate
});
// Add a formtemplate to the Editor's layerInfos
const editor = new Editor({
view: view,
layerInfos: [
{
layer: featureLayer,
formTemplate: formTemplate
}]
});
Constructors

Parameter
optionalSee the properties for a list of all the properties that may be passed into the constructor.
Show inherited properties Hide inherited properties
Property DetailsInherited
Property declaredClass Stringreadonly
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className
.
The description of the form. It is possible to substitute a template string for a field value within this description.
Example
formTemplate.description = "The population of {County}, {State} is: {Population}";
An array of form element objects that represent an ordered list of form elements.
Elements are designed to allow the form author the ability to define the layout for fields when collecting and/or editing data.
Attachment elements
are not yet fully supported within the SDK and are not intended for use in development. Support will be added in an upcoming release.Example
// Create a new form template
const formTemplate = new FormTemplate({
title: "Damage assessments",
description: "Provide information for insurance",
elements: [{ // Autocasts to new GroupElement
type: "group",
label: "Inspector Information",
description: "Field inspector information",
elements: [{
// Autocasts to new FieldElement
type: "field",
fieldName: "inspector",
label: "name"
},{
type: "field",
fieldName: "inspemail",
label: "Email address"
},{
type: "field",
fieldName: "insp_date",
label: "Date of inspection"
}]
}]
});
preserveFieldValuesWhenHidden Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 FormTemplate since 4.16, preserveFieldValuesWhenHidden added at 4.25.
Indicates whether to retain or clear a form's field element values. Use this property when a field element initially displays as visible but later updates to not be visible as a result of an applied visibilityExpression.
The string defining how to format the title displayed at the top of a form. It is possible to substitute a template string for a field value within this description.
Example
formTemplate.title = "{County}, {State}";

Method DetailsInherited
Method addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 4.25.
Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.
// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
() => !view.updating,
() => {
wkidSelect.disabled = false;
},
{ once: true }
);
this.addHandles(handle);
// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.
groupKey *
optionalKey identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.
Creates a deep clone of the FormTemplate class.
Returns
Type Description FormTemplate A deep clone of the FormTemplate instance.Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. 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.
Returns
Type Description * | null | undefined Returns a new instance of this class. getFieldsUsed(fieldsIndex, relationships){Promise<String[]>}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 FormTemplate since 4.16, getFieldsUsed added at 4.30.
Returns the names of all fields represented or referenced in any way by the FormTemplate. This includes fields where field elements exist in the form, as well as any fields referenced in the form's Arcade expressions and used in templated strings in the title and description of the form and in the label and description of its elements.
Below is a comprehensive list of all the possible ways in which a field can be utilized within a FormTemplate
:
FormTemplate
contains a field element associated with the field.FormTemplate
. Take note that expressions included in ExpressionInfo but not used by any of the elements are not considered.{}
, substitution syntax in the title or description properties of the FormTemplate
.FormTemplate
contains an element whose label or description properties reference the field via a template string, ie.{}
, substitution syntax.FormTemplate
contains TextElement.text that references the field via a template string, ie.{}
, substitution syntax.FormTemplate
. These fields will be included in the output only if a value is provided for the relationship parameter. The FormTemplate
by itself does not possess enough information to determine the key field of a relationship.FormTemplate
contains UtilityNetworkAssociationsElement.title or UtilityNetworkAssociationsElement.description that references the field via a template string, ie.
{}`, substitution syntax.Parameters
optionalThe field index. It can be used to make case-insensitive lookup by name for fields used in the FormTemplate
.
An array of Relationship objects that define the relationships on the layer with which the FormTemplate
is associated.
Returns
Type Description Promise<String[]> Resolves with the names of the fields.Inherited
Method hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25.
Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
Parameter
groupKey *
optionalA group key.
Returns
Type Description Boolean Returnstrue
if a named group of handles exist.
Example
// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}
Inherited
Method removeHandles(groupKey)
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 4.25.
Removes a group of handles owned by the object.
