destroy

Prepares the widget 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 widget element from DOM.

Example

<button id="fab"></button>

<script>
    var fab = $('#fab').kendoFloatingActionButton({
        text: 'Actions',
        items: [{
            icon: 'print',
            title: 'print action title',
/* The result can be observed in the DevTools(F12) console of the browser. */
            click: function() { console.log('print action'); }
        }]
    }).getKendoFloatingActionButton();

    fab.destroy();
</script>
