$destroy
( type in module ng
)
Removes the current scope (and all of its children) from the parent scope. Removal implies
that calls to $digest()
will no longer
propagate to the current scope and its children. Removal also implies that the current
scope is eligible for garbage collection.
The $destroy()
is usually used by directives such as
ngRepeat
for managing the
unrolling of the loop.
Just before a scope is destroyed a $destroy
event is broadcasted on this scope.
Application code can register a $destroy
event handler that will give it chance to
perform any necessary cleanup.
