Why can unregisterModules not take a parameter jQuery-Object/DOM-Node as context?

[TJ]

This regards TerrificJS 2.0.1. 

Modules can be added dynamically using registerModules (via sandbox.addModules) which allows a context (jquery object) as a parameter. RegisterModules will find and initialize all modules it finds within the given context.

It would be great if unregisterModules would also take a context. Currently unregisterModules takes an array of module instances. I'm not sure how to get module instances other than using "self" within a module.

Is there an alternative way of unregistering certain instances of certain modules?

Hi TJ

This is a really nice idea! I just added this to the upcoming feature list https://github.com/brunschgi/terrificjs/issues/19

In the meantime you can do this quite easily by yourself. As all registered modules have a dynamically added data-id attribute, you just have to loop through the corresponding DOM part.

Example

var self = this,

     $part = $('.part),

     modules = [];

$('.mod', $part).each(function() {

      var $this = $(this),

            module = self.sandbox.getModuleById($this.data('id'));

      if(module) {

            modules.push(module)

      }

     self.sandbox.removeModules(modules);

});

Hope this helps

Cheers

Hi Remo

Thanks. I forgot about the data-id attribute, otherwise I would have used getModuleById.

I managed to solve my issue another way. Since I was adding the modules dynamically, I knew which modules had been added and saved the array for the removal. For the info, the modules were loaded in an overlay.
