HTML Custom Element
MapboxGeocoder
MapboxGeocoder, also available as the element <mapbox-geocoder>,
is an element that lets you search for addresses and places using
the Mapbox Geocoding API.
It can control a Mapbox GL JS map to zoom to the selected result.
Additionally, MapboxGeocoder implements the IControl
interface.
To use this element, you must have a Mapbox access token.
Example
const search = new MapboxGeocoder();
search.accessToken = '<your access token here>';
map.addControl(search);
<mapbox-geocoder
access-token="<your access token here>"
proximity="0,0"
>
</mapbox-geocoder>
