Geocoding
Geocoding is a custom HTML element that renders a UI search component, allowing users to forward and reverse geocode search and control a Mapbox GL JS map.
This page includes reference documentation for the MapboxGeocoder
element, part of the Mapbox Search JS Web framework.

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.

implements the IControl
interface.
To use this element, you must have a Mapbox access token.
Example
const search = new MapboxGeocoder();
search.accessToken = 'YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN';
map.addControl(search);
<mapbox-geocoder
access-token="YOUR_MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN"
proximity="0,0"
>
</mapbox-geocoder>
