I am new to phaser and game development.
I followed the below tutorial.
https://medium.com/@michaelwesthadley/modular-game-worlds-in-phaser-3-tilemaps-1-958fc7e6bbd6
I downloaded and Tiled software and made a simple map with a tileset I got from OpenGameArt.org. Unfortunately, nothing gets loaded on the browser screen, I just see a black rectangle instead of the map. I find no errors in the console. I am running this using XAMPP in Windows 10.
I will paste all my code here, let me know if you find anything wrong.

The is the index.js file
const config = {
type: Phaser.AUTO, // Which renderer to use
width: 100, // Canvas width in pixels
height: 100, // Canvas height in pixels
parent: "game-container", // ID of the DOM element to add the canvas to
scene: {
preload: preload,
create: create,
update: update
}
};
const game = new Phaser.Game(config);
function preload() {
// Runs once, loads up assets like images and audio
this.load.image("tiles", "assets/tilesets/GoldBricks.png");
this.load.tilemapTiledJSON("map", "assets/tilemaps/mario.json");
}
function create() {
// Runs once, after all assets in preload are loaded
const map = this.make.tilemap({ key: "map" });
const tileset = map.addTilesetImage("GoldBricks", "tiles");
// Parameters: layer name (or index) from Tiled, tileset, x, y
const belowLayer = map.createStaticLayer("Tile Layer 1", tileset, 0, 0);
}
function update(time, delta) {
// Runs once per frame for the duration of the scene
}

I am also seeing and error in the console now.

Alright, I asked in the phaser community forum itself and got some help.
The tilemap layer is taller than the game canvas so the visible tiles are out of sight. The solution is to add the below code in the create
function.
this.cameras.main.centerOn(800, 1300);
