ESM: import Daylight from "@arcgis/core/widgets/Daylight.js";
CDN: const Daylight = await $arcgis.import("@arcgis/core/widgets/Daylight.js");
Class: @arcgis/core/widgets/Daylight
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.14
The Daylight widget can be used to manipulate the lighting conditions of a SceneView. For this, the widget modifies the lighting
property of SceneView.environment. To illuminate the scene, one can either use a configuration of date and time to position the sun or switch to the virtual mode, where the light source is relative to the camera.
When lighting the scene with the sun and adjusting the time and date, the position of the sun and the stars get updated accordingly, changing the light and the shadows in the scene. This sets the date
and directShadowsEnabled
properties of SceneView.environment.lighting.
The daytime slider has an option to select the timezone. When the user makes any adjustments here, a new time in the chosen timezone is calculated and displayed in the slider. The timezone selector can be disabled by setting timezone
to false
in the visibleElements property.
By default a calendar is displayed where the user can select the day, month and year. With the dateOrSeason property, the calendar can be replaced with a dropdown menu where a season can be selected instead:
const daylight = new Daylight({
view: view,
dateOrSeason: "season"
});
There are two play buttons, one corresponds to the daytime slider and it animates the time as it cycles through the minutes of the day. The second button corresponds to the date picker and it animates the time as it cycles through the months of the year. The speed of the animation can be set using the playSpeedMultiplier property.
const daylight = new Daylight({
view: view,
playSpeedMultiplier: 2
});
Except for the daytime slider, all the elements in the daylight widget can be hidden by using the visibleElements property:
const daylight = new Daylight({
view: view,
visibleElements: {
timezone: false,
datePicker: false,
playButtons: false,
sunLightingToggle: false,
shadowsToggle: false
}
});
With these settings, the widget looks like this:
Whenever the sun position option is unchecked, the scene applies the virtual light source relative to the camera. With this, the widget's time slider and date picker get automatically disabled:
Known limitations:
The Daylight widget uses UTC time and does not account for the daylight savings times in different countries and regions of the world.
When the SceneView.environment.lighting is of the type virtual
, setting the time and date does not have an influence on the lighting conditions of the scene.
Example
// basic usage of the daylight widget using the default settings
const daylight = new Daylight({
view: view
});
view.ui.add(daylight, "top-right");

Parameter

Property DetailsThe ID or node representing the DOM element containing the widget. This property can only be set once. The following examples are all valid use case when working with widgets.
Examples
// Create the HTML div element programmatically at runtime and set to the widget's container
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view,
container: document.createElement("div")
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
position: "top-right"
});
// Specify an already-defined HTML div element in the widget's container
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view,
container: basemapGalleryDiv
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
position: "top-right"
});
// HTML markup
<body>
<div id="viewDiv"></div>
<div id="basemapGalleryDiv"></div>
</body>
// Specify the widget while adding to the view's UI
const basemapGallery = new BasemapGallery({
view: view
});
// Add the widget to the top-right corner of the view
view.ui.add(basemapGallery, {
position: "top-right"
});
dateOrSeason String
Controls whether the widget displays a date or a season picker. When the date picker is set, the user selects the date from a calendar. The season picker allows the user to choose a season from a drop-down list. Each season uses a fixed date corresponding to the equinoxes and solstices of 2014.
Possible Values:"season" |"date"
Example
// set the season picker
daylightWidget.dateOrSeason = "season";
Inherited
Property declaredClass Stringreadonly
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className
.
headingLevel Number
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.20 Daylight since 4.14, headingLevel added at 4.20.
Indicates the heading level to use for the widget title. By default, the title is rendered as a level 3 heading (e.g. <h3>Daylight</h3>
). Depending on the widget's placement in your app, you may need to adjust this heading for proper semantics. This is important for meeting accessibility standards.
Example
daylight.headingLevel = 2;
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27 Daylight since 4.14, icon added at 4.27.
Icon which represents the widget. It is typically used when the widget is controlled by another one (e.g. in the Expand widget).
Inherited
Property id String
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.
The widget's default label. This label displays when it is used within another widget, such as the Expand or LayerList widgets.
playSpeedMultiplier Number
Controls the speed of the daytime and date animation.
Example
// Plays the daylight animation at half of the default speed
daylightWidget.playSpeedMultiplier = 0.5;
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16 Daylight since 4.14, timeSliderSteps added at 4.16.
Sets steps, or intervals, on the time slider to restrict the times of the day that can be selected when dragging the thumb. All values are in minutes, where 0
is midnight and 23 * 60 + 59
is just before midnight the following day.
If an array of numbers is passed to this property, the slider thumbs may only be moved to the times specified in the array.
If a single number is set, then steps are set for the entire day at an interval of timeSliderSteps
minutes. For example, if a value of 60
is set here, dragging the slider will allow selecting each of 24 hours of the day.
Examples
// set steps at an interval of 60. So the
// slider thumb snaps at each hour of the day.
daylightWidget.timeSliderSteps = 60;
// Set steps at specific times.
daylightWidget.timeSliderSteps = [60, 100, 120, 160];
A reference to the SceneView. Set this to link the widget to a specific view.
The view model for the Daylight widget. This is a class that contains all the logic (properties and methods) that controls this widget's behavior. See the DaylightViewModel class.
Inherited
Property visible Boolean
Indicates whether the widget is visible.
If false
, the widget will no longer be rendered in the web document. This may affect the layout of other elements or widgets in the document. For example, if this widget is the first of three widgets associated to the upper right hand corner of the view UI, then the other widgets will reposition when this widget is made invisible. For more information, refer to the css display value of "none"
.
Example
// Hides the widget in the view
widget.visible = false;
This property provides the ability to display or hide the individual elements of the widget. Play buttons, sun lighting toggle, shadow toggle button, date picker, and timezone selector can be displayed or hidden by setting their corresponding properties to true
or false
. By default, all the elements are displayed.
Example
// display all elements, except the shadow toggle button
daylightWidget.visibleElements.shadowsToggle = false;
// disable all elements
daylightWidget.visibleElements = {
header: false,
playButtons: false,
datePicker: false,
timezone: false,
sunLightingToggle: false,
shadowsToggle: false
};
