Usage

Basic usage of the geocoder:

var client = new MapboxClient('YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN');
client.geocodeForward('Chester, NJ', function(err, res) {
  // res is the geocoding result as parsed JSON
});

sub-requiring individual services

Each service is available as a sub-require if you'd only like to include only its functionality and not the entire bundle. The returned MapboxClient will have the same constructor style but only include functions necessary for that service's support.

Available sub-requires:

• geocoder: require('mapbox/lib/services/geocoder')
• surface: require('mapbox/lib/services/surface')
• matching: require('mapbox/lib/services/matching')
• directions: require('mapbox/lib/services/directions')
