I am trying to create a bounding box for my map in ArcGIS 3.28. I want the bounding box to stay in a given area based on the coordinates given. I found a class called Extent in the API Reference that can set a bounding box, but it does not look like there's a way to implement the bonding box. This is what I have at the moment:`

var map;
 require([
 "esri/map",
 "esri/dijit/InfoWindowLite",
 "esri/InfoTemplate",
 "esri/config",
 "esri/layers/FeatureLayer",
 "dojo/dom-construct",
 "esri/geometry/Extent",
 "esri/dijit/Search",
 "esri/layers/ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer",
 "esri/SpatialReference",
 "dojo/domReady!"
 ],
 function(
 Map,
 InfoWindowLite,
 InfoTemplate,
 esriConfig,
 FeatureLayer,
 domConstruct,
 Extent,
 Search,
 ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer,
 SpatialReference
 ){
 var boundingBox = new Extent(-122.3737, 37.454, -121.467, 37.9067, new SpatialReference({ wkid:4326 }));
 //creating the map
 map = new Map("map", {
 extent: boundingBox,
 basemap: "streets", //For full list of pre-defined basemaps, navigate to http://arcg.is/1JVo6Wd
 center: [-121.91, 37.65], // longitude, latitude
 zoom: 11
 });

Using this, is there a way to create a bounding box or is something I can add to it to make it work?

I was able to figure out how to create the bounding box. Here is the code I used:

 var boundingBox = new Extent(-122.3737, 37.454, -121.467, 37.9067, new SpatialReference({ wkid:4326 }));
 //create a map
 map = new Map("map", {
 extent: boundingBox,
 basemap: "streets", 
 });
 //bounding box
 var previousExtent = map.extent.getExtent();
 map.on("extent-change", function(){
 let currentExtent = map.extent.getExtent();
 if (boundingBox.contains(map.extent.getCenter())){
 // Update previous extent
 previousExtent = map.extent.getExtent();
 }
 else {
 // if new extent is not in bounding box then reset to previous extent.
 map.setExtent(previousExtent);
 }
 })
