Summarizer: destroy() method

Limited availabilitySecure context

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

It makes sense to destroy Summarizer 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 summarizer = await Summarizer.create({
  sharedContext:
    "A general summary to help a user decide if the text is worth reading",
  type: "tldr",
  length: "short",
});

// ...

summarizer.destroy();
