Map Services Enhanced For Chrome

A Chrome extension implementing functions from ESRI REST Diagnostics, collecting and presenting data releted to ArcGIS Server REST Services.

Purpose

ArcGIS Server provides a REST-based endpoint that applications can use to request and edit geographic data. The HTML pages generated by the services provide a lightweight framework to inspect and test services.

But sometimes you need a little more information. Collecting data from multiple map services requires visiting each link, then going back and visiting the next link. Remembering field names and properties can be a hassle.

The ESRI REST Diagnostics tools were designed to make the pages easier to query and use. Over 15 bookmarklets were developed to help map service testing and querying.

The Map Services Enhanced project is a Chrome extension that packs all the features of ESRI REST Diagnostics into one tool. Depending on the ArGIS REST Service page you're visiting, this Chrome Extension will present appropriate controls to help you work with your ArcGIS Server map services.

Features

• Search REST endpoints for map layers, field names, and other service properties.
• View metadata on multiple services without having to visit each one.
• Collect feature count in each map layer.
• Map service spatial references color coded for easy comparison.
• Count results of each field and domain in a map service layer.
• Create SQL queries with the click of a mouse.
• Simplify map export service testing.
• URL Shortener for query pages with unnecessarily long query parameter lists.
• Map image viewer for previewing services.

map-services-enhanced's Issues

[Feature Request] - URL Shortener

Feature

A “Map/Feature Service Query URL shortener”.

Use Case

I often want to share a query url with someone, but, when clicking Query (GET), the REST page adds every possible parameter to the url, resulting in something like this:

http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer/3/query?where=MED_AGE+%3C33&text=&objectIds=&time=&geometry=&geometryType=esriGeometryEnvelope&inSR=&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects&relationParam=&outFields=*&returnGeometry=true&returnTrueCurves=false&maxAllowableOffset=&geometryPrecision=&outSR=&returnIdsOnly=false&returnCountOnly=false&orderByFields=&groupByFieldsForStatistics=&outStatistics=&returnZ=false&returnM=false&gdbVersion=&returnDistinctValues=false&resultOffset=&resultRecordCount=&f=html

Which could be shortened to this:

http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer/3/query?where=MED_AGE+%3C33&returnGeometry=false

It would be awesome if I could share shorter, more comprehensible urls like the latter example above, perhaps by clicking a button in this extension's UI.

Spatial Reference Dropdown injection from Options

In query, find, identify, etc. where spatial reference fields are requested, add a dropdown + a hidden blank where user can select common spatial references.

• Must include current map spatial reference.
• Include Lat/Lng ESPG 4326
• Include Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere ESPG 3857
• Include spatial references added from options.

Turning off auto-metadata option does not work.

When turning off the auto-metadata collection in the options, the application still collects metadata.

Configure custom WebMapAsJSON for map exports/print tasks

Add an option to let you assign a custom WebMapAsJSON parameter when testing print tasks.

Map Viewer

Add a map viewer that lets you over or click a button to see the map in a panel.

Service Metadata fails when extents with NaN value appear

ESRI Netherlands reported that Metadata display failed at a specific service. Upon inspection of the map service JSON, we discovered the extents had NaN values. JSON.parse choked on the NaN values, since there were no quotes around the text.
{ "xmin":NaN, "xmax":NaN, "ymin":NaN, "ymax":NaN, "spatialReference": {"wkid": 1234} }

Error getting count on shape field for layers with shapefiles as data source

When viewing a map service with layers that use shapefiles as their source, the extension adds an error on the page as follows:

Error:
   Code: -2147220985
   Message: Failed to execute query.
   Details: []

The error occurs when testing the shape field (esriFieldTypeGeometry) of a layer. Other fields do not show the same error.

Query sent to the server: where=not SHAPE is null

Add ArcGIS Online AppID lookup

Add ability to look up JSON content for an ArcGIS Online AppID. Make the portal URL configurable.

Query Builder didn't show up

Hello,

I was very interested in the tool to use the interactive query builder, but it did not show up on the page. This error shows up in the console:

Identify Task Helper

An Identify Task helper for the application. Needs the following:

• Point Selector using map viewer and map spatial reference.
• Autofill spatial reference
• Autofill for valid layerIds
• Autofill map extent
• Autofill tolerance from Options
• Inject Select for Layer Options

Automatically submit form when you click "select all"

I often click select all and then have to scroll down and press "query (GET)". to reduce button clicks for this common workflow, i'd prefer either of the follwowing:

1. Have the chrome plugin auto-fill where:1=1 and outFields:* when you get to the page by default (if there are not any pre-filled values from a previous search). Then i only have to click one button on the page ("Query GET")
2. When I click Select All button, fill the form and automatically submit the form for me.

Geometry JSON helper

Looking to add an easy to use Geometry JSON entry tool. Should be able to do the following:

• Select a shape type (point, line, polygon, extent, etc)
• Enter point data (x, y, z?, m?)
• Select Spatial reference from dropdown.
• Click a button to enter the data into a blank.

Helper for FindTask

FindTask needs some love, too. Needs the following:

• Layer names/ids in select
• Field names in select.
• Values when selecting field

Question: Do the field names need to update as the layer changes, or should we dump all field names from every layer in the mix? Probably go with changing field names as layers are selected.

Support for ArcGIS Online Services

We had a suggestion through the Chrome Web Store to possibly support ArcGIS Online services.
