ArcGIS JavaScript API - Need Table of Contents (TOC) Widget
The idea is to add in a table of contents widget for the JavaScript API. Right now, there is the legend, then a layer checklist. These two must be combined to prevent the user from having to toggle back and forth between the checklist and the legend. Allow for the symbology to be displayed right next to the check box. Allow for collapsing/expanding the TOC widget and allow for multiple group layers to be supported. Below is an example:
Current end users what an all inclusive TOC and not have to toggle back and forth between two widgets.
This has been a great resource for us, but it does not look like they plan to upgrade it to the 4.x API:

I agree with the others, switching between the list visibility and a legend is not the best UI for apps that
contain a large number of layers. Esri is pushing the trend of targeted apps with just a few layers which
is great and the layer list works for those. Over the years we have been developing our web presence and both our internal and external users have become somewhat sophisticated and expect a robust app (not just something targeted). All I get is positive feedback from this approach.
