Change position on the map with MapLibre

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

This example uses JawgPlaces.MapLibre to initialize the Jawg Places MapLibre Plugin on a webpage with a MapLibre or Mapbox map. It will allow you to change the position of the search bar on the map. The search bar will be in the top right corner.

Checkout all options available on Jawg Places JS for MapLibre GL JS on our type documentation.

💡 Don't forget to call either map.addControl(jawgPlaces) or jawgPlaces.attachMap(map) to initialize and connect the input to the map.

The value <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN> in the <script> tag must be replaced by your own access token from the Jawg Lab.

This example is fully compatible with Mapbox, you can use JawgPlaces.Mapbox and load mapbox scripts.
