ArcGIS API for JavaScript 中的 Autocasting

Autocasting 简介

Autocasting 是 ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.x 的一个新特性，将 json 对象转换成对应的 ArcGIS API for JavaScript 类型实例，而不需要导入对应的 js 模块。

在下面的示例代码中，为 FeatureLayer 创建一个 SimpleRenderer 需要导入 5 个模块：

require([
  'esri/Color',
  'esri/symbols/SimpleLineSymbol',
  'esri/symbols/SimpleMarkerSymbol',
  'esri/renderers/SimpleRenderer',
  'esri/layers/FeatureLayer',
], function (
  Color, SimpleLineSymbol, SimpleMarkerSymbol, SimpleRenderer, FeatureLayer
) {

  const layer = new FeatureLayer({
    url: 'https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/arcgis/rest/services/WorldCities/FeatureServer/0',
    renderer: new SimpleRenderer({
      symbol: new SimpleMarkerSymbol({
        style: 'diamond',
        color: new Color([255, 128, 45]),
        outline: new SimpleLineSymbol({
          style: 'dash-dot',
          color: new Color([0, 0, 0])
        })
      })
    })
  });

});

使用 Autocasting ，不必导入 renderer 和 symbol 相关模块，只需要导入 esri/layers/FeatureLayer 模块即可：

require([ "esri/layers/FeatureLayer" ], function (FeatureLayer) {

  const layer = new FeatureLayer({
    url: "https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/arcgis/rest/services/WorldCities/FeatureServer/0",
    renderer: {                        // autocasts as new SimpleRenderer()
      type: "simple",
      symbol: {                        // autocasts as new SimpleMarkerSymbol()
        type: "simple-marker",
        style: "diamond",
        color: [ 255, 128, 45 ],       // autocasts as new Color()
        outline: {                     // autocasts as new SimpleLineSymbol()
          style: "dash-dot",
          color: [ 0, 0, 0 ]           // autocasts as new Color()
        }
      }
    }
  });

});

要知道一个类能否被自动转换，得查看这个类在 ArcGIS API for JavaScript 中的对应类的文档，如果一个属性能够进行自动转换，就会出现 Autocast 标记。

比如 FeatureLayer 的 renderer 就有 autocast 标记。

上面的两段代码是等价的，很显然使用 autocasting 的代码更加简单，只需写一个 json 对象，而这个 json 对象和 ArcGIS API for JavaScript 对应类型的属性相同， ArcGIS API for JavaScript 会内部进行处理，将这个 json 对象传递给对应类型的构造函数进行初始化。

当模块类型是已知的，或者是固定的，则不需要指定 type 属性，比如在下面代码中的 SimpleMarkerSymbol 的 outline 属性，这个属性是固定的，只能是 SimpleLineSymbol 。

const diamondSymbol = {
  type: "simple-marker",
  outline: {
    type: "simple-line", // Not needed, as type `simple-line` is implied
    style: "dash-dot",
    color: [ 255, 128, 45 ]
  }
};

当类型更加的宽泛时，比如 FeatureLayer 的 renderer ，就有多种实现，必须指定 type 才能让 Autocasting 正常工作。

ArcGIS API for JavaScript 官方文档中所有的示例代码都尽可能的使用了 Autocasting 。

Autocasting 扩展

然而遗憾的是， ArcGIS API for JavaScript 只实现了部分属性的 Autocasting ，并没有将 Autocasting 进行到底，比如创建一个 WebScene 时，还需要根据图层类型导入多个模块：

require([
  'esri/WebScene',
  'esri/layers/TileLayer',
  'esri/layers/FeatureLayer',
  'esri/layers/VectorTileLayer'
], function(WebScene, TileLayer, FeatureLayer, VectorTileLayer) {
  var scene = new WebScene({
    basemap: 'streets',
    layers: [
      new TileLayer({ url: '' }),
      new VectorTileLayer({ url: '' }),
      new FeatureLayer({ url: '' })
    ]
  })
});

如果将 Autocasting 进行到底，可以通过下面的 json 来创建一个 WebScene :

{
  "basemap": "streets",
  "ground": "world-elevation",
  "layers": [
    {
      "type": "tile", // For TileLayer the type is always "tile".
      "url": "https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Terrain_Base/MapServer",
      "title": "World Terrain Base"
    },
    {
      "type": "vector-tile", // For VectorTileLayer the type is always "vector-tile".
      "url": "https://basemaps.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Basemap_v2/VectorTileServer",
      "style": { /* ... */ }
    },
    {
      "type": "feature", // For FeatureLayer the type is feature.
      "url": "https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/arcgis/rest/services/WorldCities/FeatureServer/0",
      "renderer": {
        "type": "simple",
        "symbol": {
          "type": "simple-marker",
          "style": "diamond",
          "color": [ 255, 128, 45 ],
          "outline": { "style": "dash-dot", "color": [ 0, 0, 0 ] }
        }
      }
    }
  ],
}

如果能够像上面这样，从 json 来创建 WebScene ，使用起来将会非常的方便。但是不知道是什么原因， ArcGIS API for Javascript 并没有实现这个功能，不过可以使用 ESRI 官方维护的 esri-loader 对 Autocasting 进行扩展，实现这样的功能，部分代码如下：

import { loadModules } from 'esri-loader';

/**
 * create a webscene instance by json;
 * @param properties webscene json properties
 */
export async function createWebScene(
    properties: __esri.WebSceneProperties
): Promise<__esri.WebScene> {
    await createMapLayers(properties);
    let webscene: __esri.WebScene;
    const [WebScene] = await loadModules(['esri/WebScene']);
    webscene = new WebScene(properties);
    return webscene;
}

/** Create a FeatureLayer from properties */
export function createFeatureLayer(
  properties: __esri.FeatureLayerProperties
): Promise<__esri.FeatureLayer> {
  Object.assign(properties, { type: 'feature' });
  return createLayer<__esri.FeatureLayer>(properties);
}

/** Create a TileLayer from properties. */
export function createTileLayer(
  properties: __esri.TileLayerProperties
): Promise<__esri.TileLayer> {
  Object.assign(properties, { type: 'tile' });
  return createLayer<__esri.TileLayer>(properties);
}

/**
 * Create a layer from properties;
 * @param props layer's properties
 */
export async function createLayer<T extends __esri.Layer>(
  props: any
): Promise<T> {
  const layerType = props.type;
  delete props.type; // type is readonly, need delete it here from properties
  let layer: T;
  switch (layerType) {
    case 'feature':
      const [FeatureLayer] = await loadModules([
        'esri/layers/FeatureLayer'
      ]);
      layer = new FeatureLayer(props);
      break;
    case 'tile':
      const [TileLayer] = await loadModules([
        'esri/layers/TileLayer'
      ]);
      layer = new TileLayer(props);
      break;
    case 'vector-tile':
      const [VectorTileLayer] = await loadModules([
        'esri/layers/VectorTileLayer'
      ]);
      layer = new VectorTileLayer(props);
      break;
    default:
      throw new Error(`Unknown layer type: ${layerType}`);
  }
  return layer;
}

这里只贴出了部分代码，如果继续了解详细的实现，请查看这个 esri-service 的代码。

这个类库也发布了 npm 包 esri-service，如果使用了 nodejs 的话，只要通过命令 npm i esri-service 即可安装。

有了 esri-service 之后，可以更加方便的创建图层和地图：

创建要素图层

import * as arcgis from 'esri-service';

const featureLayer = await arcgis.createFeatureLayer({
  url: "https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/arcgis/rest/services/WorldCities/FeatureServer/0",
  renderer: {
    type: "simple",
    symbol: {
      type: "simple-marker",
      style: "diamond",
      color: [ 255, 128, 45 ],
      outline: { style: "dash-dot", color: [ 0, 0, 0 ] }
    }
  }
});

创建切片地图

const tileLayer = await arcgis.createTileLayer({
  url: "https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Terrain_Base/MapServer",
  title: "World Terrain Base"
});

创建矢量切片图层

const vectorLayer = await arcgis.createVectorTileLayer({
  url: "https://basemaps.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Basemap_v2/VectorTileServer",
  style: { /* ... */ }
});

创建 WebMap

const map = await arcgis.createMap({
  basemap: 'satellite',
  ground: 'world-elevation',
  layers: [
    {
      type: "tile", // For TileLayer the type is always "tile".
      url: "https://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Terrain_Base/MapServer",
      title: "World Terrain Base"
    },
    {
      type: "vector-tile", // For VectorTileLayer the type is always "vector-tile".
      url: "https://basemaps.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Basemap_v2/VectorTileServer",
      style: { /* ... */ }
    },
    {
      type: "feature", // For FeatureLayer the type is feature.
      url: "https://services.arcgis.com/V6ZHFr6zdgNZuVG0/arcgis/rest/services/WorldCities/FeatureServer/0",
      renderer: {
        type: "simple",
        symbol: {
          type: "simple-marker",
          style: "diamond",
          color: [ 255, 128, 45 ],
          outline: { style: "dash-dot", color: [ 0, 0, 0 ] }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
});

创建地图视图

const sceneView = await arcgis.createSceneView({
    container: document.getElementById('map'),
    map,
    zoom: 7,
    center: { longitude: 113.2, latitude: 23.4 },
    viewingMode: 'local'
});

甚至再进一步，可以将 WebMap 或者 WebScene 以 json 的形式保存到服务器或者数据库，实现类似 ArcGIS Portal 的场景式地图管理。

最后

最后说一下， esri-loader 一直是 ArcGIS API for JavaScript 的加载神器，隔离了 dojo 的入侵性，让 ArcGIS API for JavaScript 轻松加载到常见的前端开发环境中，包括今天的对 Autocasting 的扩展，也是用到了 esri-loader。

不过从 4.18 开始， ArcGIS API for JavaScript 提供了原生 ES6 模块 @arcgis/core ，可以直接在受支持的浏览器中运行，不用在依赖第三方加载器，也可以很轻松的在各种前端框架中使用。
