I am rewriting a web application from Mapbox.js to Mapbox GL js. Using the standard 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v8' style, where can I find a list of all working marker icons?

Here is my code:

m.map.addSource("markers", {
        "type": "geojson",
        "data": {
            "type": "FeatureCollection",
            "features": {
                "type": "Feature",
                "geometry": {
                    "type": "Point",
                    "coordinates": ["-75.532965", "35.248018"]
                },
                "properties": {
                    "title": "Start",
                    "marker-symbol": "entrance",
                    "marker-size": "small",
                    "marker-color": "#D90008"
                }
            }
        }
    });
    m.map.addLayer({
        "id": "markers",
        "type": "symbol",
        "source": "markers",
        "layout": {
            "icon-image": "{marker-symbol}-15", //but monument-15 works
            "text-field": "{title}",
            "text-font": ["Open Sans Semibold", "Arial Unicode MS Bold"],
            "text-offset": [0, -1.6],
            "text-anchor": "top"
        }
    });

I read that all Maki icons should be made available for styles that don't have icons as a default: But most of them don't work. Also there is the problem with the sizes - for Maki they were -small, -medium and -large, and now I see -11 and -15.

I just need to use some basic marker icons.

We're still sorting out the final implementation details for the default icon set and will document that set thoroughly once it has been decided upon.

Until then, you can see exactly what icons are available for a given style by peeking at the mapbox-gl-styles repo in the sprites folder.

Since that issue was closed, all maki icons are now natively available in mapbox-gl.js. You can see all available at https://www.mapbox.com/maki-icons/. You can also multiply their size using the icon-size paint property, though this may result in pixelation. There are still some hitches, like the icon-color property not yet working, so you'll need to edit, recolor, and republish icons for now. (issue #3605).
