with an access token from your Mapbox account.import React, { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import mapboxgl from 'mapbox-gl';
import 'mapbox-gl/dist/mapbox-gl.css';
const MapboxExample = () => {
const mapContainerRef = useRef();
const mapRef = useRef();
useEffect(() => {
// TO MAKE THE MAP APPEAR YOU MUST
