I would like to animate (having an animated gif, or a png sequence) a marker with mapbox gl js.
Does anyone has any link/doc/ressource talking about it? I can't find nothing but marker animation along lines.
Thanks in advance

Sure, you can use this example and create its variations based on your needs.
For example, use following code to display gif marker:
mapboxgl.accessToken = '<api key>';
var map = new mapboxgl.Map({
container: 'map',
style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v9',
center: [-74.50, 40],
zoom: 9
});
function addeMarkerToMap(map, coordinates) {
// create a DOM element for the marker
var el = document.createElement('div');
el.className = 'marker';
// add marker to map
new mapboxgl.Marker(el)
.setLngLat(coordinates)
.addTo(map);
}
addeMarkerToMap(map, [-74.5, 40]);
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#map {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.marker {
background-image: url(https://media.giphy.com/media/Bfa45K0r6cCIw/giphy.gif);
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
}
<script src='https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/v0.51.0/mapbox-gl.js'></script>
<link href='https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/v0.51.0/mapbox-gl.css' rel='stylesheet' />
<div id='map' class="myMap"></div>
PS: Replace <api key>
with your actual API key to run the example code without authorization warning.
