POI icons and bundlers

POI icons are served from CDN per default. If there is an requirement to serve them from a different location and the control is used in the application which is build with Web Application bundler (like Webpack or Vite) then it is necessary to do some extra configuration. Icons are bundled in the library and you can find them in node_modules/@maptiler/geocoding-control/icons. Configure your bundler and/or provide iconsBaseUrl option for the icons to be properly resolved. You can also copy icons from that directory to your public directory.
