Mapbox javascript : to animate marker on a polyline (points)


I need to add a marker that moves on the points (polyline), I tried with https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/animate-point-along-route but it's for a line, I have many points.. I don't know how to do..I tried this Animate an icon by using serious of Lat/lon Array - Mapbox js but it doesn't work.. thanks for your help !

var marker = new mapboxgl.Marker({
    color: '#EC0868',
    className: 'marker'
  }) 
  .setLngLat([6.161062, 45.36362])
  .addTo(map);
 
  var coords = [
    [6.157903, 45.361839],
    [6.15835, 45.361932],
    [6.161408,45.3634445],
    [6.161558, 45.363508],
    [6.161307, 45.363462],
    [6.1610, 45.363570],
    [6.161057, 45.36362]
];
map.on('load', function () {
    fitMap(map, coords);
    displayJourney(map, coords);
});

function fitMap(map, coords) {
    var bounds = coords.reduce(function (bounds, coord) {
        return bounds.extend(coord);
    }, new mapboxgl.LngLatBounds(coords[0], coords[0]));
    map.fitBounds(bounds, {
        padding: 30
    });
}

function displayJourney(map, coords) {
    map.addLayer({
        "id": "journey",
        "type": "line",
        "source": {
            "type": "geojson",
            "data": {
                "type": "Feature",
                "properties": {},
                "geometry": {
                    "type": "LineString",
                    "coordinates": coords
                }
            }
        },
        "paint": {
            "line-color": "#888", 
            "line-width": 4, 
              'line-dasharray': [2, 2]
        }
    });
}
