ESRI dev summit notes, 2017

New things to explore

Offline map packages

Clustering

Dashboard

Runtime SDK

Idea: We could try a prototype for the RDM team and provide Ethan with his maps through a simple iOS app supporting map packages.

We should check on the licence costs.

Python API for ArcGIS

Automate admin tasks on ArcGIS Online.

JavaScript Frameworks

ReactiveX -> streaming frameworks

Why are the using Conda, well ESRI must use something that is not mainstream.

Arcade as ArcGIS expression language

Offline Use of ArcGIS Runtime

ArcGIS Pro/Enterprise

• creating web packages
• services model
• full workflow has been build - not part of the package (pre-planned workflow)

Data provisioning workflow

Create maps in ArcGIS, Online, Enterprise, and Pro => publish services

• Feature layers
• ArcGIS tiled layers
• Map image layers

Mobile pacakges using PRO

• Map
• Basemap
• Operational layers
  • Locators
  • Network

*.mpk = mobile map packages for devices

Create map on device

• create map from URL
• create from PortalItem
• create in Code

=> Map object is always a web map object

Publish to portal

Offline layers

• tiles layers
• feature layers, mobile geodatabases --> service workflow
• enable sync or offline in ArcGISOnline
• Enterprise geodatabase, global IDs, archive enabled
• share as service, enable feature access, sync

JavaScript frameworks

ReactiveX -> stream-oriented SystemJS -> module loader, shiming ECMA 6 import statement injectable dependency injection

ECMA6 and ECMA7

• promises can be caught as a group
• objects can be observed natively with proxy, target, and handler
• ECMA7: async function, await instead of .then
• try/catch

async function getRaws() {

let = await getImage(url)

}
