Example of adding markers:

import mapboxgl from 'mapbox-gl';

mapboxgl.accessToken = process.env.REACT_APP_MAPBOX_TOKEN;
const map = new mapboxgl.Map({
  container: 'map-container',
  style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v11',
  center: [-74.5, 40],
  zoom: 9
});

new mapboxgl.Marker()
  .setLngLat([-74.5, 40])
  .addTo(map);
