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 setup

Install the npm package.
```
 npm install --save @maptiler/sdk
```

Include the CSS file.

If you have a bundler that can handle CSS, you can import the CSS


 import "@maptiler/sdk/dist/maptiler-sdk.css";

or include it with a <link /> in the head of the document via the CDN


 <link href='https://cdn.maptiler.com/maptiler-sdk-js/v4.1.0/maptiler-sdk.css' rel='stylesheet' />

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 own API key. Make sure to protect the key before you publish it.
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() constructor. Set the coordinates of the marker using .setLngLat() and add it to the map using .addTo().
```
 const marker = new maptilersdk.Marker()
   .setLngLat([12.550343, 55.665957])
   .addTo(map);
```

Basic JavaScript setup

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


<!DOCTYPE html>

  <style>
    body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
    #map { position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; width: 100%; }

  <div id="map"></div>
  <script>
      maptilersdk.config.apiKey = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE';

        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]
