# Display a map on a webpage
This example uses [`mapboxgl.Map`](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/map/) to initialize a Mapbox map inside an HTML element on a webpage.
You can use the [`map` parameters](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/map/#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](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/access-token/) from a Mapbox user account.
> Example code:
**JavaScript**
```html
Display a map on a webpage
```
**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: mapContainerRef.current,
center: [-74.5, 40], // starting position [lng, lat]
zoom: 9 // starting zoom
});
});
return (
);
};
export default MapboxExample;
```
