memory-leak-audit

Find memory leaks in TypeScript event listeners by auditing disposable patterns and lifecycle events. This process scans codebases for leak-prone registrations and provides remediation guidance to ensure objects are properly disposed.

Disposable objects leak in JavaScript applications due to improper lifecycle handling and uncleaned subscriptions. Failing to manage event listener registrations or neglecting disposal patterns causes objects to persist beyond their intended lifetime.

Audit disposable patterns like DisposableStore by scanning your codebase for improper lifecycle handling and repeated registrations. This identifies misused patterns and provides guidance on applying MutableDisposable and Event.once correctly.

You need to use disposable patterns to prevent memory leaks when your code registers event listeners, DOM handlers, or manages object lifecycles. This is necessary when you encounter growing listener counts or objects persisting beyond their intended lifetime.

Yes, this memory leak audit works with DOM handlers and lifecycle methods. It systematically checks these areas for common leak patterns, scanning for improper registrations and providing remediation guidance for your TypeScript codebase.

The best way to fix uncleaned subscriptions causing memory leaks is applying disposable patterns like DisposableStore and Event.once. This prevents repeated registrations and ensures proper cleanup when objects reach the end of their lifecycle.
