Remove/Delete a feature from OpenLayers vector layer
I don't think that OpenLayers is capable of removing a feature by providing the featureID
. It seems like it can only remove a features by providing a feature or an array of features:
layer.removeFeatures(featureObject);
But you could instead locate the feature first and then remove the found feature:
layer.removeFeatures(layer.getFeatureById(featureID));
Or similar if its not the OpenLayers FeatureID you have, then
layer.removeFeatures(layer.getFeatureBy('myId', myID));
For OpenLayers v6+ it's done in another way, considering that layer
is a VectorLayer:
let feature = layer.getSource().getFeatureById('featureID');
getFeatureById()
This worked for me:
*layer.removeFeatures(featureObject);*
But i've got the feature as a global variable, maybe in other cases you should try to keep the feature ID in order to search to remove it.
