view (required)

• Type: PrismaView

This method returns void.

Usage Examples

Best Practices

Memory Management

Always destroy views when your plugin shuts down or when views are no longer needed to prevent memory leaks and ensure clean resource management.

• Cleanup on Exit: Always destroy views during plugin shutdown
• Validity Check: Use IsValid before destroying to avoid unnecessary operations
• Resource Management: Destroy views when they’re no longer needed to free memory
