            padding: 0;
            height: 100%;
        }
        #map {
            height: 100%;
            width: 100%;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="map"></div>
    <script type="module">
        import StyleFlipperControl from "maplibre-gl-style-flipper";

        // Define map styles
        const mapStyles = {
            "carto-positron": {
                code: "carto-positron",
                url: "https://basemaps.cartocdn.com/gl/positron-gl-style/style.json",
                image: "https://carto.com/help/images/building-maps/basemaps/positron_labels.png",
            },
            "carto-dark": {
                code: "carto-dark",
                url: "https://basemaps.cartocdn.com/gl/dark-matter-gl-style/style.json",
                image: "https://carto.com/help/images/building-maps/basemaps/dark_labels.png",
            },
            "carto-voyager": {
                code: "carto-voyager",
                url: "https://basemaps.cartocdn.com/gl/voyager-gl-style/style.json",
                image: "https://carto.com/help/images/building-maps/basemaps/voyager_labels.png",
            },
        };

        // Initialize the map
        const map = new maplibregl.Map({
            container: "map",
            style: mapStyles["carto-positron"].url, // Default style
            center: [0, 0], // Initial center
            zoom: 1, // Initial zoom
        });

        // Add navigation control
        map.addControl(new maplibregl.NavigationControl());

        // Create an instance of StyleFlipperControl
        const styleFlipperControl = new StyleFlipperControl(mapStyles);

        // Set the initial style code
        styleFlipperControl.setCurrentStyleCode("carto-positron");

        // Add the control to the map
        map.addControl(styleFlipperControl, "bottom-left");
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Explanation

Map Styles:
- The mapStyles object contains the styles you want to switch between. Each style has:
  - code: A unique identifier for the style.
  - url: The URL of the MapLibre GL style.
  - image: The path to an image that represents the style (used in the control buttons).
Map Initialization:
- The map is initialized with a default style (carto-positron in this case).
Style Flipper Control:
- The StyleFlipperControl is created with the mapStyles object and an optional callback function that triggers when the style changes.
- The control is added to the map using map.addControl().
Customization:
- You can customize the position of the control by changing the second argument of map.addControl() (e.g., "top-right", "bottom-left").
