Request: add `unlisten` method

See original GitHub issue

I need to stop listening for some events when the route changes (client-side). Currently I use leave(channel), however, this might unsubscribe other events that were registered somewhere else in the app.

The stopListening method will only work with pusher driver.

With SocketIO there is no way to remove a previously added listener through Echo. The only way is to use the SocketIO API directly.

Adding a listener :

Echo.connector.socket.on('blah', listener)

Removing the listener :

Echo.connector.socket.removeListener('blah', listener)

But with this method you may verify the channel provenance as it will listen all subscriptions.

If we want a straightforward native solution we may need to add a way for reverting the on method :

Allow unbind to be specific instead of global
Save on the fly listener for reusing him for the removal
Create a unlisten with :

this.socket.removeListener(event, previousListener); // With our previous on the fly listener
this.unbind(event, listener); // With our new specific unbinder
