Deprecation

This application has not been updated in many years and needs a full overhaul of the code to be relevant and encourage community contributions going forward. Esri has been working on a new version of some of the key functionality from Assistant in a new, React-based application that supports enhanced JSON editing, working with ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise, and multiple user sessions. We expect to have a beta released in Q2 2021.

ago-assistant

This app uses the ArcGIS REST API to provide several different utilities for working with content in ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS.

Building the app

This project uses npm scripts to automate building and optimizing the application. It does a handful of things for you that will make it easier to configure and deploy this application to your own web server.

• Download and install node.js.
• Download or clone this project to your machine.
• Go to the project folder in your terminal or command prompt and run npm install to install the project dependencies.
• Register the app in your portal to obtain an appId for using the OAuth dialog to log in. Be sure to add the correct redirect URI (the location where your app will be hosted).
• Update the config section in package.json with your portal's url and new appId.
• Run npm run build to generate an optimized build in the build folder.
  • You can run the app locally for development and testing with the command npm run serve. Your browser should automatically open to localhost:8080.
  • Deploy the contents of the build folder to your own web server to distribute the app throughout your organization.

Requirements

• Notepad or your favorite HTML editor
• Web browser with access to the Internet
