LanguageDetector: destroy() method

Limited availabilitySecure context

The destroy() method of the LanguageDetector interface releases the resources assigned to the LanguageDetector instance it is called on and stops any further activity on it. This means that any ongoing and subsequent method calls made on the LanguageDetector will reject with an AbortError.

It makes sense to destroy LanguageDetector objects if they are no longer being used, as they tie up significant resources in their handling.

Syntax

destroy()

Parameters

None.

Return value

None (undefined).

Examples

Basic `destroy()` usage

const detector = await LanguageDetector.create({
  expectedInputLanguages: ["en-US", "zh"],
});

// ...

detector.destroy();
