Removing a Maquette Projector

Question

I noticed in the API that you can stop a Projector, but if it has already rendered some DOM, is there a way to remove it. It appears calling projector.stop() only causes the projector to stop responding.

Could you further elaborate on the use case? Why would you want to stop the projector? — Rick Hoving, Mar 03 '16 at 08:24
Sure. Consider a single page application. Where I would want to manage a "page" of my application by a projector, and add and remove that from my page. I also might have regions of a page where I have a project managing several components, which I would want to dynamically add and remove. — Kitson, Mar 03 '16 at 13:02

There is currently no way to instruct the projector to remove what has been rendered. You will have to keep track of which nodes you have appended/merged/etc and remove them yourself.

Johan, thanks for the information. I noticed that VDom's get decorated with DOM node they are related to. I assume I could "clean up" by interrogating those properties on the VDom nodes? – Kitson Mar 03 '16 at 13:04
Yes you can. I recommend stopping the projector when you do this. It looks like you want to unregister a 'projection'. This might also be useful for other users. – Johan Gorter Mar 04 '16 at 16:08

Since version 2.3, the maquette Projector has a detach function, which can be used to stop a renderMaquetteFunction. The return value contains the DOM Node that can be removed. This seems to be what you were looking for.

Yes. That is what I was looking for. Thank you! – Kitson Mar 26 '16 at 14:04
