How to unmount mounted components? about enzyme

[lelandrichardson]

I agree this would be a good addition. It should be easy enough to do if you want to PR it yourself, or else I will try and get to it soon! Should be just adding a way for the ReactWrapperComponent to conditionally unrender the mounted component through some state flag.

Sounds cool! I will try to give it a whirl in the next days, but can't promise anything!

I wonder if it would make sense to additionally perform an React.unmountComponentAtNode(wrapper.instance().getDOMNode());...

[lelandrichardson]

in mount, the component you are rendering is actually wrapped by a parent component to allow for the setting of props, passing of context, etc. As a result, just conditionally rendering the child component should make the child component go through a full "unmount" lifecycle, so I don't think this would be necessary...

Update: i'd like to add these methods, but we will need to wait until 2.0 to do so. These methods will not work without a DOM being present before requiring react since react's internals cache a reference to document.
