Implement the disconnectedCallback() lifecycle method for custom elements to handle cleanup when the component is removed from the DOM. This method must:
- Check if the component is still considered 'connected' (using a custom
connected() method).
- If connected, remove the
comment element from its parent if it exists.
- Call a custom
disconnect() method for further cleanup (such as removing listeners, freeing resources, etc.).
Also, implement the disconnect() method as a placeholder for custom cleanup logic. It should be empty by default but documented for extension.
This ensures proper cleanup and extensibility for custom elements in the codebase.
