setStyle() function for GeoJSON features - Leaflet

This works without needing to remove the layer and recreate a new one as described above:

geojson_layer.eachLayer(function (layer) {  
  if(layer.feature.properties.NAME == 'feature 1') {    
    layer.setStyle({fillColor :'blue'}) 
  }
});

It seems to be quite a bit more efficient than removing and recreating the geoJson layer. From the docs, a GeoJSON layer extends FeatureGroup which in turn extends LayerGroup.
Additionally, it seems that each geoJson feature has its own layer in the FeatureGroup!


I have written down a small code to style specific geojson feature using leaflet. you can try it on JSFiddle (Original, non-functional), Functional JSFiddle 2018-02-17, or use the following code test locally.

For this example i am using us-states.json files but it can be used for any geojson file.

I hope it will help.

Here is the code:
