Change a map's style configuration property

This feature is available in the Mapbox GL JS v3
Mapbox Standard Style is now enabled by default

The Mapbox Standard Style is now enabled by default when no style option is provided to the Map constructor. You can still explicitly set the style by passing the URL to the style option of the Map constructor.

This example adds a clickable interface that enables a user to apply several different configuration properties to the Mapbox Standard Style.

When the user clicks a configuration property, it uses setConfigProperty and a basemap keyword as a reference to the Standard Style to update the style appearance associated with that configuration property.

New *-emissive-strength properties, such as line-emissive-strength, allow you to control the intensity of light emitted on the source features. By adjusting the line-emissive-strength, you can enhance the visibility of lines, especially in darker light presets, making them stand out more prominently in your map designs.
