JS API 4.X: ViewPoint.targetGeometry only works with Point

Question

Hello,

I just noticed that the viewPoint.targetGeometry can only be a Point as it fails silently when it is a polygon or a polyline:

Codepen

Is it a bug or type definition error ?

Thanks

Hello Robert,

Thanks for the reply.

I am doing that because I have a function that depending on parameters return viewPoint accordingly.

I will use your workaround in the meantime.

Thanks !

Nicholas, That does seems like a bug. Though I am not sure why you would do that vs using goTo with the target of polygonGraphic.geometry and scale of 1000000? view.when().then(() => { view.goTo({ target: polygonGraphic.geometry, scale: 1000000 }); });‍‍‍‍‍‍
