Leaflet - How to find existing markers, and delete markers?

You can also push markers into an array. See code example, this works for me:

/*create array:*/
var marker = new Array();

/*Some Coordinates (here simulating somehow json string)*/
var items = [{"lat":"51.000","lon":"13.000"},{"lat":"52.000","lon":"13.010"},{"lat":"52.000","lon":"13.020"}];

/*pushing items into array each by each and then add markers*/
function itemWrap() {
for(i=0;i<items.length;i++){
    var LamMarker = new L.marker([items[i].lat, items[i].lon]);
    marker.push(LamMarker);
    map.addLayer(marker[i]);
    }
}

/*Going through these marker-items again removing them*/
function markerDelAgain() {
for(i=0;i<marker.length;i++) {
    map.removeLayer(marker[i]);
    }  
}

Here's a jsFiddle that lets you to create markers using your onMapClick method, then delete them by clicking a link.

The process is similar to undefined's - add each new marker to a markers array so you can access a specific marker when you want to interact with it later.

you have to put your "var marker" out of the function. Then later you can access it :

var marker;
function onMapClick(e) {
        marker = new L.Marker(e.latlng, {draggable:true});
        map.addLayer(marker);
        marker.bindPopup("<b>Hello world!</b><br />I am a popup.").openPopup();
};

then later :

map.removeLayer(marker)

But you can only have the latest marker that way, because each time, the var marker is erased by the latest. So one way to go is to create a global array of marker, and you add your marker in the global array.

Here is the code and demo for Adding the marker, deleting any of the marker and also getting all the present/added markers :

Here is the entire JSFiddle code . Also here is the full page demo.

Adding the marker :

// Script for adding marker on map click
map.on('click', onMapClick);

function onMapClick(e) {

    var geojsonFeature = {

        "type": "Feature",
        "properties": {},
        "geometry": {
                "type": "Point",
                "coordinates": [e.latlng.lat, e.latlng.lng]
        }
    }

    var marker;

    L.geoJson(geojsonFeature, {

        pointToLayer: function(feature, latlng){

            marker = L.marker(e.latlng, {

                title: "Resource Location",
                alt: "Resource Location",
                riseOnHover: true,
                draggable: true,

            }).bindPopup("<input type='button' value='Delete this marker' class='marker-delete-button'/>");

            marker.on("popupopen", onPopupOpen);

            return marker;
        }
    }).addTo(map);
}

---

Deleting the Marker :

// Function to handle delete as well as other events on marker popup open

function onPopupOpen() {

    var tempMarker = this;

    // To remove marker on click of delete button in the popup of marker
    $(".marker-delete-button:visible").click(function () {
        map.removeLayer(tempMarker);
    });
}

---

Getting all the markers in the map :

// getting all the markers at once
function getAllMarkers() {

    var allMarkersObjArray = []; // for marker objects
    var allMarkersGeoJsonArray = []; // for readable geoJson markers

    $.each(map._layers, function (ml) {

        if (map._layers[ml].feature) {

            allMarkersObjArray.push(this)
            allMarkersGeoJsonArray.push(JSON.stringify(this.toGeoJSON()))
        }
    })

    console.log(allMarkersObjArray);
}

// any html element such as button, div to call the function()
$(".get-markers").on("click", getAllMarkers);
