Destroy modal?

[tmikaeld]

Seems it isn't documented and it isn't working?

Modal destroy does teardown correctly, I'm not sure why your example isnt working. I'll take a peek

maybe u can write this at the beginning to 'solve' this problem:
$('body .modals').remove()

each time u write a .modal('show'), semantic will automatically add a

dom in , u can remove it before the next time u use modal.

+1 for @Wangable's comment. This bug hit me in a React app I'm writing, where the modal stopped working after a component was unmounted and remounted again. The callbacks (onApprove etc) simply were not being called. The solution was to call remove on the modal in the componentWillUnmount method. Then everything seems to work as expected.

I encountered something very similar to what @mariusk describes. The modal eventually reaches a "dead" state where none of callbacks are called.

The dimmer was not properly removing events in destroy. I've also modified the element namespace variable to make the code a little simpler to read.
