I am using openlayers3 and i am initializing my map like so:
var view = new ol.View({
center: ol.proj.fromLonLat([5.8713, 45.6452]),
zoom: 12,
});
var map = new ol.Map({
layers: [
new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.OSM()
})
],
target: 'map',
controls: ol.control.defaults({
attributionOptions: /** @type {olx.control.AttributionOptions} */ ({
collapsible: false
})
}),
view: view
});
Now how do i get the extent array , i tried the following code:
var extent = map.getView().getExtent();
console.log(extent);
But that does't seem to be the right code, i get an erros saying
Uncaught TypeError: map.getView(…).getExtent is not a function
can anybody explain , how do i go about getting the correct extent ?

Just do the following
considering that
map
is the variable referencing an instance ofol.Map
like at this official example.To correct you, it seems you didn't understood well the API documentation.
When you do a
map.getView
, it returns anol.View
instance and nogetExtent
method is available, hence yourUncaught TypeError: map.getView(...).getExtent is not a function
error.
