A set of domain objects for each domain in the type.
A unique numerical ID for the type.
A string containing a user-friendly name for the type. This might be shown on a menu of feature types that editors can create in the collection.
An array of template objects describing features that can be created in this layer. Templates are used with map notes, other feature collections, and editable web-based CSV layers. They are not used with ArcGIS feature services, which already have feature templates defined in the service.
Templates are defined as a property of the layer definition when there are no types defined; otherwise, templates are defined as properties of the types.
You might have more than one template per type if the attributes of available features vary slightly. For example, you might have a type named Copper pipe containing two templates: one whose DIAMETER property is 12 and another whose DIAMETER property is 10.
Types contain information about the combinations of attributes allowed for features in the dataset. Each feature in the dataset can have a type, indicated in its typeIdField, which is used in LayerDefinition.
