Paralleling their Calcite development, Esri has made a strong push to produce map-centric web components with the goal of simplifying the app development experience for 3rd-party developers.
In this section of the lesson, we’ll dive into Esri’s map components, looking at their basic implementation, their documentation, how to combine them with objects from the Core API we’ve been dealing with thus far in the course, and finally looking specifically at the components that replace the deprecated widgets covered earlier in this lesson.
