My understanding is that when writing my own extensions to ui, Iuse
the destroy method to revert the root widget element to the state it
was in before _init().
So, I do that like this:
(function($) {
$.widget("ui.myWidget", {
_init: function() {
// add some needed classes, bind events etc.
},
someOtherMethod(): function() {
// do some other stuff
},
destroy: function() {
// take off all classes I added in _init()
// unbind events from this.element
// do whatever else to revert element back to pre _init()
return this;
}
....etc...
So, I assume this is expected behavior in order to comply with UI API:
var node= $('#my-widget-node'); // get the root node once
node.myWidget(); // creates an instance of myWidget
node.myWidget('destroy'); // reverts node back to original node before
calling widget
node.myWidget(); // creates an instance of myWidget (again) on the
node
The problem is, that once I call destroy, I cannot create the widget
again. _init() never gets called. I assume the ui core code is
preventing me from calling init again, but I cannot figure out why or
where. I looked at ui.accordion and it works as expected. I looked at
its destroy method and it does nothing different than mine that I
could see, but then again I am not great at reading other people's
code.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
