How to get "fullExtent" of Map/WebMap?

TonyGraham — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 23:03:25 GMT

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).

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

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;

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.
