Display Lat Lng Coordinates on click on Mapbox GL JS

I'm trying to get my mapbox to display coordinates like this Google Map example, with a popup of lat lng coordinates on click. The closest I have gotten is getting a draggable marker which displays the coordinates at the bottom left of the map, if I tried an onclick function, the map just goes blank. How could I get the coordinates to appear as a popup on click?

var marker = new mapboxgl.Marker({
        draggable: true
    })
    .setLngLat([101.967, 35.431])
    .addTo(map);

function onDragEnd() {
    var lngLat = marker.getLngLat();

    coordinates.style.display = 'block';
    coordinates.innerHTML =
        'Longitude: ' + lngLat.lng + '<br />Latitude: ' + lngLat.lat;
}

marker.on('dragend', onDragEnd);

And I have css styles for .coordinates for them to display at the bottom left of the screen when the marker is dragged around. I know this is a simple question, but I'm totally new to mapbox and coding in general. Would appreciate any help! Thank you!

I think what you are looking for is a Mapbox Popup

I have drafted a quick fiddle on how to create a popup with the coordinates clicked, and here you have the relevant js code:

mapboxgl.accessToken = 'PUT HERE YOUR TOKEN';
var map = new mapboxgl.Map({
  container: 'map',
  style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v11',
  center: [-122.486052, 37.830348],
  zoom: 14
});
map.on('style.load', function() {
  map.on('click', function(e) {
    var coordinates = e.lngLat;
    new mapboxgl.Popup()
      .setLngLat(coordinates)
      .setHTML('you clicked here: <br/>' + coordinates)
      .addTo(map);
  });
});
