<p>If you want to destroy a comonent, removing it from the DOM, you will use this method. It gets executed on the component instance. <code>unmount</code> deletes the component base element from the DOM and nulls out all its properties on its instance for garbage collection. As of version 1.2.0, when Composi unmounts a component, it will attempt to unbind a whitelist of events, passing the component reference to it. This will unbind the events if you used the <code>handleEvent</code> interface. If you used callbacks for events, then you will need to unbind them by passing a reference to the callback to prevent memory leaks.</p>

<p>Here are the events that get removed automatically:</p>

<ul>

<li>click</li>

<li>dblclick</li>

<li>mousedown</li>

<li>mouseup</li>

<li>mouseover</li>

<li>mouseout</li>

<li>mouseover</li>

<li>mouseleave</li>

<li>pointercancel</li>

<li>pointerdown</li>

<li>pointermove</li>

<li>pointerup</li>

<li>select</li>

<li>input</li>

<li>change</li>

<li>keydown</li>

<li>keypress</li>

<li>keyup</li>

<li>submit</li>

</ul>

<p>If you've used other events not in this list, you will need to manually unbind them before unmounting a component.</p>
