Accessing Leaflet Marker Meta properties on click

Question

In my leaflet map when a user clicks on a marker it populates a table elsewhere in the page with a table of attribute fields. I want to also have a button that would allow the user to delete the marker from the map. To do this I am aiming to write the current feature id and layer name to global variables whenever a scheme is clicked. This will then be used by the button to remove the selected feature from the map.

How do I retrieve these meta attributes from a marker click event? I can retrieve the attribute information easily as shown below:

layer.on('click', function (e) {
globalVariable  = e.feature.properties.name
}

Answer 1

Save the marker object on click:

layer.on('click', function(e) {
     clickedMarker = e.target;
});

Then you can simply use

clickedMarker.removeFrom(map);

or one if its variants after checking that clickedMarker is actually a marker and is currently on the map.
