# Detach Address Lookup

After instantiation, you can detach Address Lookup with [`detach`](https://address-finder.ideal-postcodes.co.uk/interfaces/controller.controlleroptions.html#msghide).

```
const controller = AddressLookup.setup(config);



// Removes Address Lookup from DOM and clears event listeners

controller.view.detach();
```

The same Address Lookup instance can be reconnected with [`attach`](https://address-finder.ideal-postcodes.co.uk/classes/controller.controller-1.html#attach).

```
controller.view.detach();



// Restores Address Lookup to the DOM and starts event listeners

controller.view.attach();
```
