Class: @arcgis/core/widgets/Legend
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.0
The Legend widget describes the symbols used to represent layers in a map. All symbols and text used in this widget are configured in the Renderer of the layer. The legend will only display layers and sublayers that are visible in the view unless respectLayerVisibility is false
.
The legend automatically updates when
renderer
, opacity
, or title
is changedlegendEnabled
property is changed (set to true
or false
on the layer)You can use the view's DefaultUI to add widgets to the view's user interface via the ui
property on the view.

Show inherited properties Hide inherited properties
Property DetailsCollection of ActiveLayerInfo objects used by the legend view to display data in the legend. The legend widget watches this property to hide or display the layer's legend when an ActiveLayerInfo is removed from or added to this collection.
basemapLegendVisible Boolean
Indicates whether to show the Basemap layers in the Legend. If you set this property to true
and specify layerInfos, the basemap layers you want included in the legend must also be specified in layerInfos
.
Example
legend.basemapLegendVisible = true;
The 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"
});
Inherited
Property declaredClass Stringreadonly
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.
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 Legend since 4.0, headingLevel added at 4.20.
Indicates the heading level to use for the legend title. By default, legend titles are rendered as level 3 headings (e.g. <h3>Legend title</h3>
). Depending on the legend placement in your app, you may need to adjust this heading for proper semantics. This is important for meeting accessibility standards.
Example
// legend title will render as an <h2>
legend.headingLevel = 2;
hideLayersNotInCurrentView Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.21 Legend since 4.0, hideLayersNotInCurrentView added at 4.21.
When true
, layers will only be shown in the legend if they are visible in the view's extent. When data from a layer is not visible in the view, the layer's legend information will be hidden. Only layers that implement the createQuery()
and queryFeatureCount()
methods are supported by hideLayersNotInCurrentView
.
To hide layers completely from the legend, you should set the legendEnabled
property of the layer to false
.
Example
// layers not displayed in the view
// will not be shown in the legend
legend.hideLayersNotInCurrentView = true;
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27 Legend since 4.0, 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.
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Legend since 4.0, label added at 4.7.
The widget's default label.
Specifies a subset of the layers to display in the legend. This includes any basemap layers you want to be visible in the legend. If this property is not set, all layers in the map will display in the legend, including basemap layers if basemapLegendVisible is true
. Objects in this array are defined with the properties listed below.
Specifies a title for the layer to display above its symbols and descriptions. If no title is specified the service name is used.
A layer to display in the legend.
optionalOnly applicable if the layer
is a MapImageLayer, SubtypeGroupLayer or WMSLayer. The IDs of the sublayers for which to display legend information. Since version 4.23.
Example
const subtypeGroupLayer = webmap.layers.getItemAt(0);
const subtypeSubLayer = subtypeGroupLayer.sublayers.getItemAt(1);
const subtypeSublayerId = parseInt(subtypeSubLayer.subtypeCode);
const legend = new Legend({
view: view,
layerInfos: [
{
layer: subtypeGroupLayer,
sublayerIds: [subtypeSublayerId]
}
]
});
respectLayerDefinitionExpression Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.30 Legend since 4.0, respectLayerDefinitionExpression added at 4.30.
If a layer uses a unique value render, only features that satisfy the layer's definition expression will be displayed in the legend when set to true.
respectLayerVisibility Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.13 Legend since 4.0, respectLayerVisibility added at 4.13.
Determines whether to respect the properties of the layers in the map that control the legend's visibility (minScale
, maxScale
, legendEnabled
). By default, a layer's legend elements will not render in the legend given the following conditions:
false
.When the respectLayerVisibility
property of the legend is set to false
, the legend elements for each layer in the map will always display, thus disregarding the minScale
, maxScale
, and legendEnabled
properties for each layer in the map.
Example
// Always displays legend elements for the map's layers
// regardless of their minScale, maxScale, and legendEnabled properties
legend.respectLayerVisibility = false;
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Legend since 4.0, style added at 4.7.
Indicates the style of the legend. The style determines the legend's layout and behavior. You can either specify a string or an object to indicate the style. The known string values are the same values listed in the table within the type
property.
Specifies the style of the legend. There are two possible values listed in the table below:
Value Description classic The legend has a portrait orientation. The user can scroll vertically when many elements are included in the legend's content. card In wide views, the legend has a landscape orientation that allows users to scroll horizontally to view all legend elements. This style can be responsive, making it ideal for mobile web apps. In smaller views, the legend collapses to occupy less space. One element is shown at a time in a card-style layout, which the user can navigate horizontally.Possible Values:"classic"|"card"
layout String optionalDefault Value:stack
When a card
type is specified, you can specify one of the following layout options.
side-by-side
layout, and a stack
layout in smaller (mobile) views. side-by-side The legend has a landscape orientation that allows users to scroll horizontally to view multiple legend cards at a time. stack The legend cards are stacked, which conserves space, but restricts the user to seeing only one card at a time.
Possible Values:"auto"|"side-by-side"|"stack"
Default Value:"classic"
Examples
// renders the legend in the card style with a "stack" layout
legend.style = "card";
// renders the legend in the card style with a responsive
// layout that toggles between "stack" and "side-by-side"
legend.style = {
type: "card",
layout: "auto"
};
// renders the legend in the classic layout
legend.style = "classic";
The view model for this widget. This is a class that contains all the logic (properties and methods) that controls this widget's behavior. See the LegendViewModel class to access all properties and methods on the widget.
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;
