ArcGIS Core Maps
Use this skill when creating 2D maps (MapView) or 3D scenes (SceneView) with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript.
Import Patterns
Direct ESM Imports (Recommended for Build Tools)
Use with Vite, webpack, Rollup, or other build tools:
import Map from "@arcgis/core/Map.js";
import MapView from "@arcgis/core/views/MapView.js";
import FeatureLayer from "@arcgis/core/layers/FeatureLayer.js";
- Tree-shakeable
- Standard JavaScript modules
- Best for production applications
Dynamic Imports (CDN / No Build Tools)
Use with CDN script tags when no build step is available:
const Map = await $arcgis.import("@arcgis/core/Map.js");
const MapView = await $arcgis.import("@arcgis/core/views/MapView.js");
// Multiple imports
const [FeatureLayer, Graphic] = await $arcgis.import([
"@arcgis/core/layers/FeatureLayer.js",
"@arcgis/core/Graphic.js"
]);
- Works with Map Components (web components)
- No build step required
- Good for quick prototypes and demos
- Requires
<script src="https://js.arcgis.com/4.34/"></script>in HTML
Note: The examples in this skill use Direct ESM imports. For CDN usage, replace
import X from "path"withconst X = await $arcgis.import("path").
Autocasting vs Explicit Classes (TypeScript)
The ArcGIS SDK supports autocasting – passing plain objects instead of class instances. Understanding when to use each approach is important for TypeScript projects.
When to Use Explicit Classes (Non-Autocast)
Use new SimpleRenderer(), new Point(), etc. when:
- You need instance methods or
instanceofchecks - Building shared internal libraries – constructor APIs surface breaking changes at compile time
- You want strong editor discoverability –
new SimpleRenderer({ ... })exposes properties clearly - You mutate objects incrementally – long-lived instances are clearer as real classes
import SimpleRenderer from "@arcgis/core/renderers/SimpleRenderer.js";
import SimpleMarkerSymbol from "@arcgis/core/symbols/SimpleMarkerSymbol.js";
const renderer = new SimpleRenderer({
symbol: new SimpleMarkerSymbol({
color: [226, 119, 40],
size: 8
})
});
When to Use Autocasting
Use plain objects with type property when:
- Configuration-heavy code – renderers, symbols, popups are usually data, not behavior
- UI-driven configuration – React state â plain objects â SDK properties is simpler
- Serialization and reuse matter – configs can be stored, diffed, tested, reused
- Property updates after creation –
layer.renderer = { ... }works cleanly in ReactuseEffect
// Use 'as const' or 'satisfies' to keep discriminated unions narrow
const renderer = {
type: "simple",
symbol: {
type: "simple-marker",
color: [226, 119, 40],
size: 8
}
} as const;
// Or with satisfies for better type inference
import type { SimpleRenderer } from "@arcgis/core/renderers/SimpleRenderer.js";
const renderer = {
type: "simple",
symbol: {
type: "simple-marker",
color: [226, 119, 40],
size: 8
}
} satisfies __esri.SimpleRendererProperties;
TypeScript Best Practices
The real TypeScript concern is keeping discriminated unions narrow:
// â BAD - type widens to string
const symbol = { type: "simple-marker", color: "red" };
// â
GOOD - type stays literal
const symbol = { type: "simple-marker", color: "red" } as const;
// â
GOOD - explicit type annotation
const symbol: __esri.SimpleMarkerSymbolProperties = {
type: "simple-marker",
color: "red"
};
Recommended Default
- Autocast for configuration (renderers, symbols, popups, labels)
- Explicit classes for behavior (when you need methods or instanceof)
- Use
as constorsatisfiesto maintain type safety with autocasting
Two Approaches
1. Map Components (Modern – Recommended)
Web components approach using <arcgis-map> and <arcgis-scene>.
2. Core API
Traditional JavaScript approach using Map, MapView, and SceneView classes.

View Configuration
Setting Initial Extent
// By center and zoom
const view = new MapView({
container: "viewDiv",
map: map,
center: [-118.24, 34.05],
zoom: 12
});
// By scale
const view = new MapView({
container: "viewDiv",
map: map,
center: [-118.24, 34.05],
scale: 50000 // 1:50,000
});
// By extent
const view = new MapView({
container: "viewDiv",
map: map,
extent: {
xmin: -118.5,
ymin: 33.8,
xmax: -117.9,
ymax: 34.3,
spatialReference: { wkid: 4326 }
}
});
Programmatic Navigation
// Go to location
await view.goTo({
center: [-118.24, 34.05],
zoom: 15
});
// Animated navigation
await view.goTo(
{ center: [-118.24, 34.05], zoom: 15 },
{ duration: 2000, easing: "ease-in-out" }
);
// Go to extent
await view.goTo(layer.fullExtent);
// Go to features
await view.goTo(featureSet.features);
View Constraints
// Constrain zoom levels
view.constraints = {
minZoom: 5,
maxZoom: 18
};
// Constrain to area
view.constraints = {
geometry: layer.fullExtent,
minScale: 500000
};
// Disable rotation
view.constraints = {
rotationEnabled: false
};
Event Handling
// View ready
view.when(() => {
console.log("View is ready");
});
// Click event
view.on("click", (event) => {
console.log("Clicked at:", event.mapPoint);
});
// Pointer move
view.on("pointer-move", (event) => {
const point = view.toMap(event);
console.log("Mouse at:", point.longitude, point.latitude);
});
// Extent change
view.watch("extent", (extent) => {
console.log("Extent changed:", extent);
});
// Stationary (after pan/zoom completes)
view.watch("stationary", (isStationary) => {
if (isStationary) {
console.log("Navigation complete");
}
});

Overview Map (Synchronized Views)
Overview Map with Scene
<arcgis-scene basemap="hybrid" ground="world-elevation">
<arcgis-zoom slot="top-left"></arcgis-zoom>
<!-- Embed overview map inside scene -->
<arcgis-map basemap="topo-vector" id="overviewDiv" slot="top-right"></arcgis-map>
</arcgis-scene>
<style>
#overviewDiv { width: 300px; height: 200px; border: 1px solid black; }
</style>
<script type="module">
import Graphic from "@arcgis/core/Graphic.js";
import reactiveUtils from "@arcgis/core/core/reactiveUtils.js";
const sceneElement = document.querySelector("arcgis-scene");
const overviewElement = document.querySelector("arcgis-map");
await sceneElement.viewOnReady();
await overviewElement.viewOnReady();
// Disable rotation on overview
overviewElement.constraints.rotationEnabled = false;
overviewElement.view.ui.components = [];
// Add visible area graphic
const visibleAreaGraphic = new Graphic({
symbol: {
type: "simple-fill",
color: [0, 0, 0, 0.5],
outline: null
}
});
overviewElement.graphics.add(visibleAreaGraphic);
// Sync overview with main scene
reactiveUtils.watch(
() => sceneElement.visibleArea,
async (visibleArea) => {
visibleAreaGraphic.geometry = visibleArea;
await overviewElement.goTo(visibleArea);
},
{ initial: true }
);
</script>
promiseUtils (Async Utilities)
Debounce
import promiseUtils from "@arcgis/core/core/promiseUtils.js";
// Create debounced function
const debouncedUpdate = promiseUtils.debounce(async () => {
// This only runs after 300ms of no calls
await updateFeatures();
});
view.on("pointer-move", () => {
debouncedUpdate();
});
Abort Error Handling
import promiseUtils from "@arcgis/core/core/promiseUtils.js";
const abortController = new AbortController();
try {
await someAsyncOperation({ signal: abortController.signal });
} catch (error) {
if (promiseUtils.isAbortError(error)) {
// Operation was intentionally cancelled
console.log("Operation cancelled");
} else {
// Real error
throw error;
}
}
// Cancel the operation
abortController.abort();
Create Resolver
import promiseUtils from "@arcgis/core/core/promiseUtils.js";
// Create a promise that can be resolved/rejected externally
const { promise, resolve, reject } = promiseUtils.createResolver();
// Later, resolve or reject
resolve(result);
// or
reject(error);
// Use the promise
const result = await promise;
reactiveUtils (Property Watching)
Watch Properties
import reactiveUtils from "@arcgis/core/core/reactiveUtils.js";
// Watch single property
reactiveUtils.watch(
() => view.scale,
(scale) => console.log("Scale:", scale)
);
// Watch with initial value
reactiveUtils.watch(
() => view.extent,
(extent) => console.log("Extent:", extent),
{ initial: true }
);
// Watch once
reactiveUtils.once(
() => view.stationary === true
).then(() => {
console.log("View became stationary");
});
// When condition becomes true
reactiveUtils.when(
() => layer.loaded,
() => console.log("Layer loaded")
);
Common Pitfalls
-
Missing CSS for Core API: The Core API requires
main.css:<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://js.arcgis.com/4.34/esri/themes/light/main.css" /> -
Not awaiting viewOnReady(): Always wait for the view before accessing properties:
await mapElement.viewOnReady(); const view = mapElement.view; // Safe to access now -
Coordinate order: ArcGIS uses
[longitude, latitude], not[latitude, longitude] -
Missing viewDiv height: Ensure the container has height:
html, body, #viewDiv { height: 100%; margin: 0; } -
Script type: Use
type="module"for async/await support:<script type="module"> // async/await works here </script>
