  ],
  mapbox: {
    apiKey: '{API_KEY}'
  }

Usage

View the Mapbox GL JS Docs for reference.

Map instances are created with components. You can provide all the options through component props

Example:

    <MapboxMap
      map-id="{ID}"
      style="position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 250px; width: 500px;"
      :options="{
        style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/light-v11', // style URL
        center: [-68.137343, 45.137451], // starting position
        zoom: 5 // starting zoom
      }"
    >

You can add Layers & Controls by nesting their components inside the Map

Examples:

    <MapboxMap>
      <MapboxSource 
        source-id="geojson"
        :source="{
          type: 'geojson',
          data: '/test.geojson'
        }"
      />
      <MapboxLayer
        source-id="geojson"
        :layer="{
          source: 'geojson',
          id: 'geojson-layer',
          type: 'fill'
        }"
      />
    </MapboxMap>

    <MapboxMap>
      <MapboxLayer
        source-id="{ID}"
        :source="{
          type: 'geojson',
          data: '/test.geojson'
        }"
        :layer="{
          source: '{ID}',
          id: 'geojson-layer',
          type: 'fill'
        }"
      />
      <MapboxFullscreenControl />
    </MapboxMap>

You can access the map instance with the useMapbox composable. You must provide the map id.

The map instance will not be available until the page is fully loaded, so you must access it through a callback

    useMapbox(mapId, (map) => {
      // Do whatever with map here
    })

You can access the map instance ref directly with _useMapboxInstance

NOTE: The map instance will be null until is initialized so you cannot access it directly on setup. Use a watcher as shown or useMapbox instead:

    const map = _useMapboxInstance(mapId)
    watch(map, () => {
      if (map.value)
        // Do whatever with map
    })

Custom Popups & Markers

While it is recommended to use the default popup & marker components, making your own is easy using defineMapboxMarker & defineMapboxPopup.

By passing a template ref you can put custom html directly into your component

Examples:

      const popup = defineMapboxPopup(popupId, options, templateRef)
      popup?.setLngLat(lnglat)

NOTE: Because of the way markers are implemented in Mapbox, if passing a template ref to defineMapboxPopup you have to define properties in a callback like so:

    const markerRef = defineMapboxMarker(markerId, options, templateRef, (marker) => {
        marker.setLngLat([110, 6])
    })
