Disconnecting Events and Handlers

SunilPalkar

Hello All,

Good Morning,

I am new one to JSAPI . Its regarding to events and handlers.

I read some wherever that you need to disconnects events to avoid memory leaks. Is it necessary because in my sample application I am using lots of events on mouse move ,mouse click etc.

So any help with proper explanation will be great !!

Try something like this:


//Run this code to start the listener
listener = dojo.connect(layer,"onMouseOver",function(evt){
  //do something on hover
}
//run this code to disconnect the listener
dojo.disconnect(listener)

You don't need to worry about memory leaks on page unload from event handlers. Javascript frameworks like dojo and jquery do clean up, including removal of event handlers, when the page unloads.

Of greater concern is performance of the application while it's running. Asynchronous web apps can use up a lot of memory fast. https://developers.google.com/speed/articles/optimizing-javascript Check this out for ways to improve performance and avoid coding that may cause memory leaks.
