Replacement for deprecated geometryEngine.extendedSpatialReferenceInfo()

Deprecated geometryEngine.extendedSpatialReferenceInfo — replacement guidance?

Since 4.32, geometryEngine.extendedSpatialReferenceInfo() is deprecated.
The documentation does not list a direct replacement and no Geometry Operator seems to provide the same tolerance/xyTolerance information.

I previously used it like this:

const info = geometryEngine.extendedSpatialReferenceInfo(spatialReference);
const tolerance = info.tolerance;

Question

What is the recommended approach to retrieve a spatial reference’s default tolerance now?

A short clarification or recommended practice would help avoid inconsistent fallback values across applications.

Thanks!

@lukehartmann-vertigis thanks for the question - we are adding precision tolerance params to SpatialReference for version 5.0 including xyTolerance and xyUnits. I'll post an update to this repo's CHANGELOG with more details. The new params will be available (e.g. not null) if they are in the source json when hydrating the SpatialReference instance, and you'll also be able to set them.

Are you able to provide more info on what you are using the tolerance for?

You can test out the new functionality today using next >= 5.0.0-next.32:

// Wait for the layer to be ready for use.
const lv = await viewElement.whenLayerView(featureLayer);
console.log("sr: ", lv.layer.spatialReference);

Hi! @andygup!
Good to know this is going to be adressed in the next major version!

One example for our using tolerance, is to determine wether two points are the same.
