Mapbox gl & directions API call - doesn't display routes

Viewed 1631

I have an app with multiple markers, for displaying a travel. Each marker is a step, and I want to create a route between each marker with it following marker (following step).

For that, right now I have this code :

$(document).ready(function() {
  var map;
  var directions;

  // token access for MAPBOX GL
  mapboxgl.accessToken = 'pk.eyJ1IjoiYW50b3RvIiwiYSI6ImNpdm15YmNwNTAwMDUyb3FwbzlzeWluZHcifQ.r44fcNU5pnX3-mYYM495Fw';

  // generate map
  var map = new mapboxgl.Map({
    container: 'map',
    style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v10',
    center: [-96, 37.8],
    zoom: 5
  });

  // center map on selected marker
  map.on('click', 'markers', function (e) {
    map.flyTo({center: e.features[0].geometry.coordinates});
  });

  // change mouse action on enter / leave in marker
  map.on('mouseenter', 'markers', function () {
    map.getCanvas().style.cursor = 'pointer';
  });

  map.on('mouseleave', 'markers', function () {
    map.getCanvas().style.cursor = '';
  });

  $.ajax({
    dataType: 'json',
    url: grabTravelData(),
    success: function(data) {
        geojson = data;
        map.addSource("markers", {
            "type": "geojson",
            "data": {
                "type": "FeatureCollection",
                "features": data
            }
        });
        map.addLayer({
            "id": "markers",
            "type": "circle",
            "source": "markers",
            "paint": {
                "circle-radius": 7,
                "circle-color": "#ff7e5f"
            },
        });
        // center map on markers
        var bounds = new mapboxgl.LngLatBounds();
        data.forEach(function(feature) {
            bounds.extend(feature.geometry.coordinates);
        });
        map.fitBounds(bounds);

        for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
            var last = data.length - 1
            var from = data[i];
            var to = data[i + 1];
            if(i != last) {
                apiCall(from.geometry.coordinates[0], from.geometry.coordinates[1], to.geometry.coordinates[0], to.geometry.coordinates[1], mapboxgl.accessToken, i);
            } else {
                apiCall(from.geometry.coordinates[0], from.geometry.coordinates[1], from.geometry.coordinates[0], from.geometry.coordinates[1], mapboxgl.accessToken, i);
            }
        }
    }, error: function(data) {
        console.log(data + ' error');
    }
});

function apiCall(from_one, from_two, to_one, to_two, token, number) {
  $.get("https://api.mapbox.com/directions/v5/mapbox/driving/" + from_one + "," + from_two + ";" + to_one + "," + to_two + "?access_token=" + token, function(data) {
    var naming = "route-" + number;
    map.on('load', function () {
        map.addSource(naming, {
            "type": "geojson",
            "data": {
                "type": "Feature",
                "properties": {},
                "geometry": {
                    "type": "LineString",
                    "coordinates": data.routes[0].geometry
                }
            }
        });

        map.addLayer({
            "id": naming,
            "type": "line",
            "source": naming,
            "layout": {
                "line-join": "round",
                "line-cap": "round"
            },
            "paint": {
                "line-color": "#ff7e5f",
                "line-width": 8
            }
        });
    });
  }
}

But the routes doesn't appear on the map, and I read on the API Documentation this line : // This API is not available through the JavaScript SDK

So maybe I can't call the API. With this code I have a good result:

with this url : https://api.mapbox.com/directions/v5/mapbox/driving/18.0944238,42.65066059999999;15.981919,45.8150108?access_token=

And the result is a json with geometry... so a good result as it's write in the documentation.

Maybe someone know how should I display routes on the map ? And if I can't with the API call, how should I modify my code to use the Directions Plugin ?
