The template picker is an out of the box widget that displays a gallery of templates from one or more feature layers. The template picker displays a symbol and label for each type in the feature layer. The editor widget uses the template picker to provide template based editing so in most cases you'll want to use the editor widget to take advantage of all the functionality the editor provides (attribute editing, automatic updates and editing tools). In this example, the template picker is used without the editor so the developer is responsible for updating features after they are modified.
To create new features, select the desired template from the TemplatePicker then draw a new feature on the map. This sample uses the Draw toolbar to sketch the new feature then in the toolbar's onDrawEnd event the edits are saved by calling FeatureLayer.applyEdits().
This sample also includes logic to delete features and edit vertices.The edit toolbar is activated when you double-click on a graphic. Double-clicking enables the edit toolbar with the EDIT_VERTICES constant and you'll see vertices and ghost vertices appear on the map. You can delete features by holding the CTRL key while clicking a graphic. The layer's click event checks to see if you've pressed the CTRL key, if so applyEdits is called and the selected graphic is added to the array of features to delete.
