# Center the map on a clicked feature
Use events and [`flyTo`](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/map/#map#flyto) to center the map on a feature in a [`circle`](https://docs.mapbox.com/style-spec/reference/layers/#circle) layer.
> Example code:
**JavaScript**
```html
Center the map on a clicked feature
```
**React**
```jsx
import React, { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import * as mapboxgl from 'mapbox-gl/esm';
import 'mapbox-gl/dist/mapbox-gl.css';
const MapboxExample = () => {
const mapContainerRef = useRef();
const mapRef = useRef();
useEffect(() => {
mapRef.current = new mapboxgl.Map({
// TO MAKE THE MAP APPEAR YOU MUST
// ADD YOUR ACCESS TOKEN FROM
// https://account.mapbox.com
accessToken: 'YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN',
container: 'map',

config: {
basemap: {
theme: 'monochrome'
}
},
center: [-90.96, -0.47],

});
mapRef.current.on('load', () => {
