Feature Services

Feature Services are configured by creating a feature service configuration document and at least one TDE.

Search Profiles

Add a search section to a feature service descriptor in order to make the feature service available to the add-in and expose one or more search profiles. Each profile requires a Search Options and a REST transform to be used by the add-in when performing queries and viewing documents.

An example:

"search": {
    "Articles": {   // search profile's name
        "options": "example-gkg-options",           // search options
        "geometryType": "Point",                    // geometry type
        "geoConstraint": "Location",                // geospatial constraint in the search options
        "values": "points",                         // values name in the search options
        "docTransform": "example-gkg-transform",    // transform used when viewing documents
        "schema": "GDeltGKG",                       // TDE schema
        "view": "Article"                           // TDE view
    }
}

These can also be found in the Example's feature service descriptors.

Protecting Layers

The add-in allows users to replace the configuration of a feature layer with their own search parameters. To prevent a feature layer from being overwritten, you can add a readOnly attribute to the feature layer's descriptor and set it to true.
