How to get "fullExtent" of Map/WebMap?

Question

For any arbitrary Map (e.g., new Map({ basemap: “osm” })) or WebMap (e.g., new WebMap({portalitem: { id: “123” }})), I think I see that the “initialExtent” is returned by the MapView’s “extent”.

How can I most aptly acquire the “fullExtent” for the MapView?

Where “initialExtent” and “fullExtent” are analogous to what gets returned from querying a single layer or MapServer (e.g., https://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Canvas/World_Dark_Gray_Base/MapServer?f=json).

For webmaps you need to use the viewPoint property on https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-WebMap.html#initialViewProperties.

The Viewpoint - has scale and targetGeometry which are used to set the scale, center or extent of the MapView.

That's for an individual layer, which is fine, but I'm asking about the whole Map/WebMap, which is created in the way specified in the original post.  Such a Map/WebMap has multiple layers--and even potentially multiple base layers.

My goal is to discover this full extent for a generic MapView (without regard to its arbitrary display size) and--essentially--turn that into a MapView constraint (and, further, to capture the maxScale and turn that into a constraint as well).  I want to explicitly cement the extents at which the map may render.

What I'm doing at the moment is unsatisfying for many reasons.  (See below where I fetch these values--ick.)  I'm looking for an approved, generic solution.  (E.g., do I start taking extent unions?)  I ask because I feel like either a way to do this must already exist or there's something quite wrong with my assumptions.

Getting the full extent (and max scale) for a generic Map or Webmap (ick):

const baseLayers = view?.map?.basemap?.baseLayers;
const baseLayer = baseLayers && baseLayers.length > 0 ? baseLayers.getItemAt(0) : null;
const fullExtent: Rect = baseLayer?.fullExtent
 ? [
baseLayer?.fullExtent.xmin,
baseLayer?.fullExtent.ymin,
baseLayer?.fullExtent.width,
baseLayer?.fullExtent.height,
 ]
 : [0, 0, 0, 0];
const maxScale = (baseLayer as any)?.maxScale ? (baseLayer as any)?.maxScale : 0;

Hi there,

You can get the fullExtent of the layer once the layer is loaded.

// Get the fullExtent of the layer when layer is loaded
view.whenLayerView(layer).then(()=>{
  console.log(layer.fullExtent);
  view.goTo(layer.fullExtent);
});

Hope this helps
