GEOCODING WITH MAPBOX API

The Idea!

This small Application demonstrates how to geocode an address using mapbox api implemented in openlayers v6. Additionally, on-click of search, the map gets zoomed to the location of Interest.

The idea stems from google maps search functionality wherein you type the address and it zooms in to the location of interest. We replicate this exact functionality with mapbox API for geocoding and openlayers for client side zoom to the address of interest.

How to use the app? Clone the repository from Github and edit YOUR_MAPBOX_API_KEY in map.js. Search for address and click SUBMIT
