Class: @arcgis/core/widgets/ValuePicker
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.27
ValuePicker is a widget that allows users to step or play through a list of values. ValuePicker widget can be configured with an optional collection, label, combobox or slider control to help users navigate values.
Similar to a media player, values can be interactively stepped through using the next
and previous
buttons. ValuePicker can also be set to automatically progress (play) through an ordered list of items at a preset interval.
ValuePicker can be configured in variety of ways, depending on your use case. The following are the five possible configurations of the ValuePicker widget.
1. Configuring ValuePicker without dataIt is important to note that the ValuePicker widget is not associated with a View nor does it necessarily require data. In the example below, the ValuePicker is added to the view's ui
property without any assigned data.
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker();
view.ui.add(valuePicker, "top-right");
Since the widget is not associated with any data, it is necessary to listen and respond to widget events generated by the widget. This could be useful when data is not static like positional changes for bus features currently in service, for example.
valuePicker.on("play", () => { console.log("user clicks play"); })
valuePicker.on("pause", () => { console.log("user clicks pause"); })
valuePicker.on("previous", () => { console.log("user clicks previous"); })
valuePicker.on("next", () => { console.log("user clicks next"); })
2. Using the label component to present items
Consider using the label component to step through a fixed list of predefined values like land use zones. In the following snippet a ValuePicker is added to the View UI containing three coded land use zones.
const labelComponent = {
type: "label",
items: [
{ value: "ind", label: "Industrial" },
{ value: "res", label: "Residential" },
{ value: "com", label: "Commercial" }
]
};
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
component: labelComponent,
values: ["ind"]
});
view.ui.add(valuePicker, "top-right");
The user's interaction can be handled by monitoring the values property.
reactiveUtils.watch(
() => valuePicker.values,
(values) => console.log(`The land use zone code is: ${values[0]}`)
);
3. Using an arbitrary collection component to present predefined list
It may be required to step through a fixed collection of items like extents, bookmarks, or basemaps. If only the play
, next
and previous
buttons are required then the collection component may be used. The collection component consists of the same user interface as option 1 above with the distinction that the current item is accessible and tracked.
In the following example, a ValuePicker is created and added with a collection of three items. ValuePicker is initialized with starting value of "hybrid". Since "hybrid" is the first item in the collection only the next button will be enabled.
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
component: { // autocasts ValuePickerCollection when type is "collection".
type: "collection",
collection: ["hybrid", "oceans", "osm"]
},
values: ["hybrid"]
});
view.ui.add(valuePicker, "top-right");
As the user clicks the next, previous, and play buttons the values property will update. This property can be monitored as demonstrated below.
reactiveUtils.watch(
() => valuePicker.values,
(values) => console.log(`The current basemap is: ${values[0]}`)
);
4. Using the combobox component to present selectable items
Consider using the combobox component when a searchable dropdown list is required. In the following snippet the ValuePicker widget is added to the View UI containing three coded land use zones.
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
component: { // autocasts ValuePickerCombobox when type is "combobox".
type: "combobox",
placeholder: "Pick Zoning Type",
items: [
{ value: "ind", label: "Industrial" },
{ value: "res", label: "Residential" },
{ value: "com", label: "Commercial" }
]
},
values: ["res"]
});
view.ui.add(valuePicker, "top-right");
As demonstrated in option 3 above, the user's interaction can be handled by monitoring the values property.
reactiveUtils.watch(
() => valuePicker.values,
(values) => console.log(`The land use zone code is: ${values[0]}`)
);
5. Using the slider component to navigate numeric values
The slider component, as the name suggests, appends a slider to end of the ValuePicker widget. The slider is ideal for users that need to select a value within a fixed numeric range. For example, the snippet below presents a ValuePicker with a slider for picking a layer's opacity. The starting value is 50%.
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
component: { // autocasts ValuePickerSlider when type is "slider".
type: "slider",
min: 0, // Start value
max: 100, // End value
steps: [0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100], // Thumb snapping locations
minorTicks: [5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 95], // Short tick lines
majorTicks: [0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100], // Long tick lines
labels: [0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100], // Long ticks with text
labelFormatFunction: (value) => `${value}%` // Label definition
},
values: [50] // "current value"
});
view.ui.add(valuePicker, "top-right");
Note that steps (positions the slider thumb snaps to), minorTicks, majorTicks and labels are independent of each other and optional.
The following code will watch for changes and apply the user's modification to a feature layer.
reactiveUtils.watch(
() => valuePicker.values,
(values) => {
featureLayer.opacity = values[0] / 100;
}
);
ValuePicker Orientation
By default ValuePicker is oriented horizontally. ValuePicker (with the exception of combobox and label components) can be oriented vertically. The following snippet demonstrates how to orient a collection based ValuePicker vertically.
const valuePicker2 = new ValuePicker({
layout: "vertical", // default is "horizontal"
component: {
type: "collection",
collection: ["hybrid", "oceans", "osm"]
},
values: ["hybrid"] // Set the initial value to "hybrid"
});

Property DetailsReturns true
if the ValuePicker can be advanced to the next position.
Example
// Create a new ValuePicker and then test if canNext is true before advancing.
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
values: ["hybrid"],
component: {
type: "collection",
collection: ["hybrid", "oceans", "osm"]
}
});
if (valuePicker.canNext) {
valuePicker.next();
} else {
console.log("Already at the end of the collection. Please press the 'previous' button instead.");
}
Returns true
if the ValuePicker can be played.
Example
// Create a new ValuePicker and then check canPlay before playing.
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
values: ["hybrid"],
component: {
type: "collection",
collection: ["hybrid", "oceans", "osm"]
}
});
if (valuePicker.canPlay) {
valuePicker.play();
} else {
console.log("Cannot play this collection.");
}
canPrevious Boolean
Returns true
if the ValuePicker can moved to the previous item.
Example
// Create a new ValuePicker and then test if canPrevious is true before selecting the preceding item.
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
values: ["hybrid"],
component: {
type: "collection",
collection: ["hybrid", "oceans", "osm"]
}
});
if (valuePicker.canPrevious) {
valuePicker.previous();
} else {
console.log("Already at the beginning of the collection. Please press the 'next' button instead.");
}
An optional caption that appears on the ValuePicker widget to give context for the user. This is particularly useful when an application is using more than one ValuePicker widget.
Example
// Disable the ValuePicker when the user picks "shutdown".
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
component: new ValuePickerCombobox({
collection: ["Newton", "Einstein"]
},
caption: "Scientist"
});
Example
// Add a ValuePicker with a slider ranging from 0 to 10.
const steps = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
component: {
type: "slider",
min: 0,
max: 10,
steps,
labels: steps,
labelFormatFunction: (value) => `${value} km`
},
values: [0]
});
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
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className
.
When true
, sets the widget to a disabled state so the user cannot interact with it.
Example
// Disable the ValuePicker when the user picks "shutdown".
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
component: new ValuePickerCombobox({
collection: ["activate", "shutdown"]
},
values: ["activate"]
});
reactiveUtils.when(
() => valuePicker.values?.[0] === "shutdown",
() => {
valuePicker.disabled = true;
}
);
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 label.
This property is useful whenever the widget is controlled by another one (e.g. Expand)
Possible Values:"horizontal" |"vertical"
Default Value:"horizontal"
Example
// Display a ValuePicker vertically with a slider component.
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
component: new ValuePickerSlider({
min: 0,
max: 10
},
values: [0],
layout: "vertical"
});
If true, playback will restart when it reaches the end.
Example
// Add a ValuePicker with looping enabled and start playing.
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
component: new ValuePickerSlider({
min: 0,
max: 10
},
values: [0],
loop: true
});
valuePicker.play();
playRate Number
The pause, in milliseconds between playback advancement.
Example
// Add a playing ValuePicker that only passes 100 milliseconds at each step.
// The slider's thumb will start at 0 and move to 10 in exactly one second.
const steps = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
component: new ValuePickerSlider({
min: 0,
max: 10,
steps
},
values: [0],
playRate: 100
});
valuePicker.play();
The current value of the ValuePicker. The type for this property depends on which component is being used. For example, a slider component will return an array of numbers.
If the component
is not set then this property will return null
. Similarly this property can be null
if the widget is created without an initial value.
Once a component
and an initial value has been assigned this property will return an array containing a value.
Example
reactiveUtils.watch(
() => valuePicker.values,
(v) => updateRenderer("StdZ", v[0])
);
function updateRenderer(dimensionName, sliderData) {
const dimInfo = [];
dimInfo.push(
new DimensionalDefinition({
dimensionName: "StdZ",
values: [sliderData]
})
);
// TIME: only show temperatures for the week of April 7, 2014
dimInfo.push(
new DimensionalDefinition({
dimensionName: "StdTime", // time temp was recorded
values: [1396828800000], // Week of April 7, 2014
})
);
const mosaicRule = new MosaicRule({
multidimensionalDefinition: dimInfo
});
layer.mosaicRule = mosaicRule;
}
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.
Example
// Create a ValuePicker widget with a slider and the Play button hidden.
const valuePicker = new ValuePicker({
layout: "horizontal",
component: {
type: "slider",
min: 0,
max: 100
},
visibleElements: {
nextButton: true,
playButton: false,
previousButton: true
}
};
