The `mapbox` shortcode supports interactive maps in Hugo with [Mapbox GL JS](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js) library.

<!--more-->

**Mapbox GL JS** is a JavaScript library that uses WebGL to render interactive maps from [vector tiles](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/vector-tiles/) and [Mapbox styles](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec/).

The `mapbox` shortcode has the following named parameters to use Mapbox GL JS:

* **lng** *[required]* (**first** positional parameter)

    Longitude of the inital centerpoint of the map, measured in degrees.

* **lat** *[required]* (**second** positional parameter)

    Latitude of the inital centerpoint of the map, measured in degrees.

* **zoom** *[optional]* (**third** positional parameter)

    The initial zoom level of the map, default value is `10`.

* **marked** *[optional]* (**fourth** positional parameter)

    Whether to add a marker at the inital centerpoint of the map, default value is `true`.

* **light-style** *[optional]* (**fifth** positional parameter)

    Style for the light theme, default value is the value set in the [front matter](../theme-documentation-content#front-matter) or the [site configuration](../theme-documentation-basics#site-configuration).

* **dark-style** *[optional]* (**sixth** positional parameter)

    Style for the dark theme, default value is the value set in the [front matter](../theme-documentation-content#front-matter) or the [site configuration](../theme-documentation-basics#site-configuration).

* **navigation** *[optional]*

    Whether to add [NavigationControl](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api#navigationcontrol), default value is the value set in the [front matter](../theme-documentation-content#front-matter) or the [site configuration](../theme-documentation-basics#site-configuration).

* **geolocate** *[optional]*

    Whether to add [GeolocateControl](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api#geolocatecontrol), default value is the value set in the [front matter](../theme-documentation-content#front-matter) or the [site configuration](../theme-documentation-basics#site-configuration).

* **scale** *[optional]*

    Whether to add [ScaleControl](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api#scalecontrol), default value is the value set in the [front matter](../theme-documentation-content#front-matter) or the [site configuration](../theme-documentation-basics#site-configuration).

* **fullscreen** *[optional]*

    Whether to add [FullscreenControl](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api#fullscreencontrol), default value is the value set in the [front matter](../theme-documentation-content#front-matter) or the [site configuration](../theme-documentation-basics#site-configuration).

* **width** *[optional]*

    Width of the map, default value is `100%`.

* **height** *[optional]*

    Height of the map, default value is `20rem`.

Example simple `mapbox` input:

```markdown
{{</* mapbox 121.485 31.233 12 */>}}
Or
{{</* mapbox lng=121.485 lat=31.233 zoom=12 */>}}
```

The rendered output looks like this:

{{< mapbox 121.485 31.233 12 >}}

Example `mapbox` input with the custom style:

```markdown
{{</* mapbox -122.252 37.453 10 false "mapbox://styles/mapbox/navigation-preview-day-v4" "mapbox://styles/mapbox/navigation-preview-night-v4" */>}}
Or
{{</* mapbox lng=-122.252 lat=37.453 zoom=10 marked=false light-style="mapbox://styles/mapbox/navigation-preview-day-v4" dark-style="mapbox://styles/mapbox/navigation-preview-night-v4" */>}}
```

The rendered output looks like this:

{{< mapbox -122.252 37.453 10 false "mapbox://styles/mapbox/navigation-preview-day-v4?optimize=true" "mapbox://styles/mapbox/navigation-preview-night-v4?optimize=true" >}}
