ESM: import Entity from "@arcgis/core/rest/knowledgeGraph/Entity.js";
CDN: const Entity = await $arcgis.import("@arcgis/core/rest/knowledgeGraph/Entity.js");
Class: @arcgis/core/rest/knowledgeGraph/Entity
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25
An entity is a specific instance of an EntityType that can exist in the knowledge graph. Entities typically represent real-world objects or locations such as a person, an organization, a building, or a vehicle. Each entity has a set of properties that is defined by the entity type it belongs to.
Examples
//create a new entity
const [knowledgeGraphModule, Entity] = await $arcgis.import([
"@arcgis/core/rest/knowledgeGraphService.js",
"@arcgis/core/rest/knowledgeGraph/Entity.js",
]);
const newEntity = new Entity({
typeName: "Supplier",
properties: {
Name: "Supplier 5",
EmployeeCount: 681
}
});
//searches for 'solar' in the properties of all entities in a knowledge graph
const KnowledgeGraphModule = await $arcgis.import(
"@arcgis/core/rest/knowledgeGraphService.js"
);
KnowledgeGraphModule
.executeSearch(kg, {
searchQuery: "solar",
typeCategoryFilter: "entity",
})
.then((queryResult) => {
// do something with the search results
console.log("Graph Search Result", queryResult);
});
//example of a return from the above search, printed to the console.

Method DetailsInherited
Method addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
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.
Inherited
Method fromJSON(json){* |null |undefined}static
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.Inherited
Method hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
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)
Removes a group of handles owned by the object.
Parameter
groupKey *
optionalA group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.
Example
obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group
obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
