Display a map on a webpage
This example uses mapboxgl.Map to initialize a Mapbox map inside an HTML element on a webpage.
You can use the map parameters style, center, and zoom to define the initial appearance of the map. The Mapbox Standard Style is enabled by default when no style option is provided to the Map constructor.
The string value for accessToken should be a valid access token from a Mapbox user account.

This code snippet will not work as expected until you replace
YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN 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(() => {

mapRef.current = new mapboxgl.Map({
