adding layer on search for leaflet map changes polygon opacity - leaflet

Question

I have two leaflet maps which are loaded with geojson on the basis of a search button click. This shows some polygons with a style opacity 0.3 so you can see the street names under the polygons.
It works great except that any additional searches and loading of polygons starts to change the opacity of the polygon, making it more solid so you cant read the names of the streets under the polygon.
I try clearing the geojson layer before adding to the map, but the issue persists.
I have created a rough code pen of the issue here:
https://codepen.io/joomkit/pen/xxXgLPJ?editors=1111
Essentially just click the search button to load the layer no need to fill the listener runs a function and gets static data.
I have tried various methods to remove layer. A second click on the search is meant to clear the layer and load a new one. In the example it's just reloading the original data but the opacity is clearly demonstrated.
Main code is also below.
var geoMap2;
var lamap = new L.Map("map2", {
center: new L.LatLng(51.44094723464765, 0.048892332250943187),
// center: new L.LatLng(39.75621,-104.99404),
zoom: 14,
maxZoom: 18
});
var osm2 = L.tileLayer(
"https://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/rastertiles/voyager/{z}/{x}/{y}{r}.png",
{
attribution:
'© OpenStreetMap contributors © CARTO',
subdomains: "abcd",
maxZoom: 18
}
);
lamap.addLayer(osm2);
searchButton.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
let searchQuery = inputSearch.value;
// searchOpenFunding(searchQuery);
setLaMap(data);
});
function setLaMap(data) {
removeLayers();
let geojsonFeatureCollection2 = {
type: "FeatureCollection",
features: setFeatureCollection2(data)
};
geoMap2 = L.geoJSON(geojsonFeatureCollection2, {
style: polyStyleLAMap,
onEachFeature: function myonEachFeatureLaMap(feature, layer) {
layer.myTag = "myGeoJSON";
}
}).addTo(lamap);
lamap.setMaxBounds(lamap.fitBounds(geoMap2.getBounds()));
lamap.setZoom(13);
}
var removeLayers = function () {
lamap.eachLayer(function (layer) {
if (layer.myTag && layer.myTag === "myGeoJSON") {
lamap.removeLayer(layer);
console.log("rem layer from ");
}
});
};
function setFeatureCollection2(data) {
for (const [key, item] of Object.entries(data)) {
// setup lealfet geojson collection from data mapit api is incomplete pe ritem so we build it here
geoJsonFeatures2.push({
type: "Feature",
properties: {
craftentryId: item.id,
areaId: item.mapitAreaId,
lsoacode: item.lsoacode,
localauthority: item.localauthority,
openForFunding: item.openForFunding,
fundableRegion: item.fundableRegion,
title: item.title,
popupContent: ""
},
geometry: item.geojson
});
}
return geoJsonFeatures2;
}
function polyStyleLAMap(feature) {
return {
fillColor: getFillColorLaMap(feature.properties.openForFunding),
weight: 1,
opacity: 1,
color: getBorderColor(feature.properties.openForFunding),
dashArray: "0",
fillOpacity: 0.3
};
}
function getFillColorLaMap(d) {
return d === true ? "#FFFFFF" : d === false ? "#FED976" : "#FED976";
}
function getBorderColor(d) {
return d === true ? "#0e9c12" : d === false ? "#adabab" : "#cccccc";
}

Look here https://codepen.io
The code I modified is:
// 029A, 029C
function setLaMap(data) {
removeLayers();
let geojsonFeatureCollection2 = {
type: "FeatureCollection",
features: setFeatureCollection2(data),
};
console.log(geojsonFeatureCollection2);
const geoMap2 = L.geoJSON(geojsonFeatureCollection2, {
style: polyStyleLAMap,
onEachFeature: function (feature, layer) {
layer.myTag = "myGeoJSON";
},
});
map.addLayer(geoMap2);
map.setMaxBounds(map.fitBounds(geoMap2.getBounds()));
// map.setZoom(13);
}
function removeLayers() {
map.eachLayer((layer) => {
if (layer.myTag && layer.myTag === "myGeoJSON") {
console.log(layer);
map.removeLayer(layer);
}
});
}

You need to keep the geojson layer in a global variable and remove it before over writing with the new layer data.
var geoMap2;
function setLaMap(data){
if(geoMap2) { // if geoMap2 is set remove it
lamap.removeLayer(geoMap2)
}
const geojsonFeatureCollection2 = {
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": setFeatureCollection2(data)
}
geoMap2 = L.geoJSON(geojsonFeatureCollection2, {
style: polyStyleLAMap,
onEachFeature: myonEachFeatureLaMap
})
