Get Started

To get started, go to ArcGIS REST JS on the ArcGIS Developers website.

If you are on version 3, the previous documentation can be found at https://esri.github.io/arcgis-rest-js.

Documentation

The documentation is published at https://developers.arcgis.com/arcgis-rest-js/ and is maintained in a private repository and managed by the ArcGIS Developer Experience team. The API reference is generated automatically by TypeDoc via the npm run typedoc command and the typedoc.json configuration file.

Instructions

You can install dependencies by cloning the repository and running:

npm install && npm run build

This will install all dependencies and do an initial build. Afterward, you can run any of the demo apps by cd'ing by following the README for the specific demo. For a list of all available commands run npm run.

For all packages:

• npm run build - builds all distributions of every package with ultra, inside each package builds are done in parallel with npm-run-all. Output is errors only.
• npm run build:esm, npm run build:cjs, npm run build:bundled - as as the above but only one of our target distributions.
• npm run dev:esm, npm run dev:cjs, npm run dev:bundled - runs the appropriate watch command in all packages.
