Hey @andrewcorliss
Yes, the Observers are destroyed if they no longer have any active references (from
useInViewor<InView>), but they are also reused if an observer already exists with the same options.If you need to have control over when the
unmount()happens, then you can use theobserve()method directly:https://github.com/thebuilder/react-intersection-observer#low-level-api
Keep in mind, it will still destroy the observers if they are no longer used after you call
unmount, and also that you should callunmountwhenever your component is destroyed. So not sure if you'd gain anything from it?Are you sure it's causing issues?
