Display simple marker on the map

This comprehensive step-by-step tutorial provides a detailed explanation of how to incorporate a default Marker onto a map. By following this tutorial you will be able to create a map with a pin.

NPM Module
Basic JavaScript

Copy the following code, paste it into your favorite text editor, and save it as a .html file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Display a marker</title>
  <script src="https://cdn.maptiler.com/maptiler-sdk-js/v3.0.1/maptiler-sdk.umd.min.js"></script>
  <link href="https://cdn.maptiler.com/maptiler-sdk-js/v3.0.1/maptiler-sdk.css" rel="stylesheet" />
  <style>
    body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
    #map { position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; width: 100%; }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="map"></div>
  <script>
      maptilersdk.config.apiKey = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE';
      const map = new maptilersdk.Map({
        container: 'map', // container's id or the HTML element to render the map
        style: maptilersdk.MapStyle.STREETS,
        center: [12.550343, 55.665957], // starting position [lng, lat]
        zoom: 9, // starting zoom
      });
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Install the npm package.
```
npm install --save @maptiler/sdk
```
Bash
Include the CSS file.

If you have a bundler that can handle CSS, you can import the CSS or include it with a <link> in the head of the document via the CDN
```
import "@maptiler/sdk/dist/maptiler-sdk.css";
```
JavaScript
```
<link href='https://cdn.maptiler.com/maptiler-sdk-js/v3.0.1/maptiler-sdk.css' rel='stylesheet' />
```
HTML

Include the following code in your JavaScript file (Example: app.js).

import * as maptilersdk from '@maptiler/sdk';

maptilersdk.config.apiKey = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE';
const map = new maptilersdk.Map({
  container: 'map', // container's id or the HTML element to render the map
  style: maptilersdk.MapStyle.STREETS,
  center: [12.550343, 55.665957], // starting position [lng, lat]
  zoom: 9, // starting zoom
});

Replace YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE with your actual MapTiler API key.
The next is up to you. You can center your map wherever you desire (modifying the starting position) and set an appropriate zoom level (modifying the starting zoom) to match your users’ needs. Additionally, you can change the map’s look (by updating the source URL); choose from a range of visually appealing map styles from our extensive MapTiler standard maps, or create your own to truly differentiate your application.

Create a new marker using the .marker function. Set Lng/Lat of the marker using .setLngLat() function, and finally add it to the current map using .addTo() function.
```
const marker = new maptilersdk.Marker()
  .setLngLat([12.550343, 55.665957])
  .addTo(map);
```
