Memory leak

[sz274071580]

Hello, when I use the ngx-color-picker component, I find that the memory can't be released, so the module that references the component can't release the memory. Is there any way to release the ngx-color-picker component memory?
Ngx-color-picker version 8.1.0
Angular version 8.1.0
I saw it through the memory monitor in the Chrome browser. There are two variables: ColorPickerComponent and ColorPickerDirective (4).

The dialog component is created when its opened for the first time, it is not destroyed after that for faster displaying of the dialog. I can not see the dialog using that much memory that destroying it after closing would make that much sense. I.e. I prefer usability over the tiny bit of memory it needs. Of course PR is accepted if there really is a need for option destroying the dialog component after closing.

Now the ngx-color-picker component does not release the memory, affecting the entire module that calls it can not be released, which is not a small memory overhead, how to release the memory?

I guess you can not without adding such feature. Of couse hard to say since I am not familiar with your setup. Never seen a setup where modules are released from the memory with Angular.

I think I only now understand what you are after :) I guess the issues is that the created component is not destroyed when the directive is destroyed. I will add destroying of the dialog component when the directive is destroyed for the next release.

That is what I mean, I look forward to the next version coming soon! thank you very much!

To add one more point, these two variables cannot be destroyed when switching navigation, so that the parent component can not be destroyed, eventually leading to memory leaks! I remove the color component from the parent component, the parent component can be destroyed normally

I finally had time to look into this and the directive actually will destroy the component so I am not sure why this happens. Could be bug with the Angular even since at least I can not find any reason from this library since everything gets destroyed when directive onDestroy is called so everything should be fine.
