Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The destroy() method of the Summarizer interface destroys the Summarizer instance it is called on. It makes sense to destroy Summarizer objects if they are no longer going to be 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();
