// res is the geocoding result as parsed JSON
});
sub-requiring individual services
Each service is available as a sub-require if you'd only like to include only
its functionality and not the entire bundle. The returned MapboxClient
will have the same constructor style but only include functions necessary
for that service's support.
Available sub-requires:
- geocoding:
require('mapbox/lib/services/geocoding')
- surface:
require('mapbox/lib/services/surface')
- matching:
require('mapbox/lib/services/matching')
- directions:
require('mapbox/lib/services/directions')
- datasets:
require('mapbox/lib/services/datasets')
