Feature Request: Affix destroy method

[maimairel]

It seems that affix's functionality is currently limited, it doesn't have any method to do other things like destroy.

I need to be able to turn off /on affix during runtime, is it possible to add this functionality on the next milestone?

you can turn the plugin off by removing .affix events from the window and resetting the class on the element

To add to @fat's answer, to use different offset settings in different modes, you can $().removeData('affix'). Otherwise, it gets stuck with whatever was used the first time.

So the entire affix reset would look like:

$(window).off('.affix')
$(myElem).removeData('affix').removeClass('affix affix-top affix-bottom')

If anyone has found this looking for a way to destroy an affix, and happens to be using bootstrap 3. The data name has changed to 'bs.affix'

So the way to destroy an affix in boostrap 3 is:

$(window).off('.affix')
$(myElem).removeData('bs.affix').removeClass('affix affix-top affix-bottom')

@Dsyko just the missing link I was looking for. Thanks!

@Dsyko Thank you! It's shame that jQuery people does not understand importance of widget lifecycle.
