Description

Hey folks,

Absolute beginner with APIs in general and more so with Mapbox here.
I'm a student develoving a web-app for school and i'm using Mapbox GL JS with the directions plugin to calculate a route.
I now would love to get the values of "weight-name", "distance" and "duration" to make some calculations in my app.
How can i get these? Is there for example a function that returns the response JSON back to me?
Any nudge in the right direction is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Research direction

No repository file or test is named; begin with the Mapbox GL JS directions plugin's returned response JSON and determine where weight-name, distance, and duration are exposed. Done would mean documenting or demonstrating how an application can read those values, but the issue does not define a repository change or acceptance test.
