How to destroy a pJS object?

[cnjsstong]

In IE, it will continue to call raf even after the DOM destroyed. Is there any way to manually destroy a pJS object?

HI @cnjsstong2,

You can destroy the pJS by this way : window.pJSDom[0].pJS.fn.vendors.destroypJS()
I'll check for the IE issue, thanks.
Sorry for my late reply, hope it helps!

@VincentGarreau Thanks!

If you're in a singe page application and might want to start rendering again (fresh) you have to re-initialize the window.pJSDom array again since .destroypJS removes it completely.

Safest way for me is :

if (window["pJSDom"] instanceof Array && window["pJSDom"].length > 0) {
    for (let i = 0; i < window["pJSDom"].length; i++)
        window["pJSDom"][i].pJS.fn.vendors.destroypJS();
    window["pJSDom"] = [];
}

In my case, as I'm only using one particle.js object and I'm sure I'll be using only one, I edited @maxfriedmann code to

window.pJSDom[0].pJS.fn.vendors.destroypJS();
window["pJSDom"] = [];

This needs to be in the README

Seems like destroypJS() destroy of all instances from particlesJs. Not only zero element like in your example
