How can the issues related to memory leaks due to closures be mitigated in JavaScript?
- Using WeakMaps
- Increasing Closure Scope
- Avoiding Closures
- Garbage Collection
Memory leaks due to closures can be mitigated by using WeakMaps in JavaScript. WeakMaps are a data structure that allows objects to be held weakly, meaning they won't prevent objects from being garbage collected. This helps in preventing memory leaks that can occur when closures hold references to objects longer than necessary.
