Do we need to unbind event listeners in directives when angular starts to destroy?

Question

There is a heavy memory leak in my application but I haven\'t found out the causes, and here is the background.

• I am using AngularJS + JQuery(plugins)

Answer 1

The Angular documentation for scope destroy, implies that you do need remove DOM events.

http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$rootScope.Scope#$destroy

Note that, in AngularJS, there is also a $destroy jQuery event, which can be used to clean up DOM bindings before an element is removed from the DOM.
