Is it possible to add layers at run-time? #51

The local layer widget is awesome at allowing an administrator to configure a web app, before it is published.

Is there any support for allowing end-users to add a layer to the map dynamically? Eg, when using a Web App, I want to add a new feature layer based on its REST endpoint.

Possible, absolutely! But I'm not sure if it's really in the 'scope' of the LLW. I enjoy how this widget doesn't have any UI components beyond configuration; it 'just works' in the background of the WAB.

I remember seeing another Widget in the geonet forums that had a nice UI and the functionality you're describing; Maybe using that widget in addition to LocalLayer would be another option?

Cool, thanks for the pointers - it appears that the Add Service Widget will do what I need.

Thanks again for writing such an excellent widget (which Esri really should have done in the first place!)
