destroy

Prepares the Drawer for safe removal from DOM. Detaches all event handlers and removes jQuery.data attributes to avoid memory leaks. Calls destroy method of any child Kendo widgets.

Important: This method does not remove the Drawer element from DOM.

Example

<button  class='destroy'>Destroy</button>
<div id="drawer">
        <div>Content area content.</div>
    </div>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
            var drawerInstance = $("#drawer").kendoDrawer({
                mode: "push",
                template: `<ul><li data-role='drawer-item'><span class='k-icon k-i-star-outline'></span><span class='item-text'>item 1</span></li><li data-role='drawer-separator'></li><li data-role='drawer-item'><span class='k-icon k-i-twitter'></span><span class='item-text'>item 2</span></li></ul>`,
                position: 'left'
            }).data("kendoDrawer");

            $('.destroy').click(function() {
                drawerInstance.destroy();
            });
        });
    </script>
