Display custom labels on a feature layer.
Use case
Labeling features is useful to visually display a key piece of information or attribute of a feature on a map. For example, you may want to label rivers or street with their names.
How to use the samplePan and zoom around the United States. Labels for congressional districts will be shown in red for Republican districts and blue for Democrat districts. Notice how labels pop into view as you zoom in.
How it worksTo show custom labels on a feature layer:
ServiceFeatureTable
using a feature service URL.FeatureLayer
from the service feature table.ArcadeLabelExpression
for the label definition.
$feature.field_name
in the expression.TextSymbol
to control how the label text is styled.LabelDefinition
by passing in the ArcadeLabelExpression
and TextSymbol
.featureLayer.labelDefinitions().append(labelDefinition)
.featureLayer.setLabelsEnabled()
.This sample uses the USA 116th Congressional Districts feature layer hosted on ArcGIS Online.
Additional informationHelp regarding the Arcade label expression script for defining a label definition can be found on the ArcGIS Developers site.
