Bookmarks Widget - v4.8

Question

I am trying to use the bookmarks widgets for my web application which has recently been released with version 4.8. The trouble is although I have given my collection of bookmark but when I intialise  the widget object it makes the bookmarks collection to null. It seems like the widget only works if the view is based on a webmap with predefined bookmarks. If I have my own collection <bookmark> of bookmark objects and the widget bookmarks is empty.

for (let item of _config.bookmarksOptions) {
 let bk = new Bookmark({
 extent: item.extent,
 name: item.name
 })
 bcollection.add(bk)
 }

//length of bcollection is 4

let bookmarkWidget = new Bookmarks({
 view: vw,
 bookmarks: bcollection
 });

//length of bookmarkWidget.bookmarks is 0

Can anyone shed light on this issue.

Regards,

Omair

As per API reference Map doesnt support bookmarks. That's what I have been using and that's the issue I believe.

You could just use Map if you want. I use WebMap mostly because it's just like Map, just supports webmap ids. You don't need to use a webmap id with it.

Thanks for quick reply. If the only way around is to use WebMap object then it definitely needs to be improved and this limitation be addressed. I'll see if I can adapt my code to use WebMap instead of just Map, for now.
