demolish

demolish

Demolish is a small module which helps you clean up, release and destroy your created instances.

Install

This module is intended for Node.js and browserify usage and can be installed using:

npm install --save demolish

Usage

The module is exported as function and be required as following:

'use strict';

var demolish = require('demolish');

The demolish function returns a function which will destroy the specified properties from your instance.

function Foo() {
  this.bar = 1;
  this.banana = new Banana();
}

Foo.prototype.destroy = demolish('foo banana');

In the example above we've created a new destroy method on our Foo class. Once the method is called it will set the bar property to null and check if banana also has a destroy method, if so, it will call that and set it to null after execution.

After everything is cleaned we will emit a destroy event if there is an emit method available.

The destroy method will automatically prevent double execution by checking if the first supplied property is still active on the prototype. So in the example above it will check if foo is not null.
