Destroy Method

[maimairel]

Hi, great plugin :)

What I'm missing right now is the functionality to destroy a switchery instance. Is it enough to just remove the DOM element, or does such a functionality already exists?

Thank you!

I haven't made that currently, but my intentions are to make it happen soon, since it's not that complex to do.

Thank you! Looking forward to it :)

@maimairel I think that post and it's accepted answer pretty much sums up that it's enough to set all the instances to null and probably delete the DOM object to get rid of the instance, instead of trying to really delete it, which appears to be impossible.

@abpetkov Yes, setting it to null or undefined will make the object a candidate for garbage collection, but we need a destroy method to be sure that all event handlers bound by the plugin are removed, otherwise it won't be garbage collected.

@maimairel I will make a new release until the end of the week, but I've pushed some changes to the master branch. Some of them include the .destroy() method you can use on the object reference to unbind all events attached to it. Please take a look if possible and LMK what you think.
