Add a fullscreen control to a map

This example adds a clickable map control that enables a user to toggle fullscreen mode on and off.

It uses addControl with FullscreenControl to add the button overlay on the map. The control will hide itself if used in a browser that does not support requestFullScreen().

mapboxgl.accessToken = 'YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN';
const map = new mapboxgl.Map({
container: 'map', // container ID
// Choose from Mapbox's core styles, or make your own style with Mapbox Studio
style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/outdoors-v12', // style URL
center: [11.255, 43.77], // starting position
zoom: 13 // starting zoom
});

map.addControl(new mapboxgl.FullscreenControl());
</script>

This code snippet will not work as expected until you replace YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN with an access token from your Mapbox account.
