Map and MapView autocast

[Shimoorook]

On the documentation it's written that the Map class is autocasted for MapView class.

However, when Map module isn't imported in the beginning of the code with "esri/map", it doesn't seem to work. Am I misunderstanding how autocast works or is this a bug?

Is there a particular way you're trying to create the map that doesn't work? I tried this basic example and the map works.

require(["esri/views/MapView"], (MapView) => {
  const view = new MapView({
    container: "viewDiv",
    map: {
      basemap: "topo-vector"
    },
    zoom: 4,
    center: [15, 65]
  });
});

Oh my bad..
My code was like below

require(["esri/view/MapView"], (MapView) => {

  cost view = new MapView({

    container: "viewDiv",

    map: new Map({

      basemap: "topo-vector"

    },

    zoom: 4, 

    center: [15, 65]

  });

});

so when it's autocasted, there's no need to crate a new instance of the class and just provide the object with correct properties?

That is correct. In some cases you need to provide a "type", like for renderers, symbols, geometry, etc. Those cases should be in the doc .
