Foundation-sites: Components reflow and lifecycle

[ncoden]

It seems that for a lot of Foundation components, reflow and reInit are not properly supported. I'm making here a list of the issues related to this problem.

• https://github.com/zurb/foundation-sites/issues/10923 [Sticky] Cannot change data option after init (@fleps)

I identified some commons problems in these issues:

• _reflow is not implemented in all components
• _init and _reflow does not update the options list
• reInit/reflow are not well documented

What do you think ? @colin-marshall @brettsmason @IamManchanda @JeremyEnglert @Owlbertz

I think you can add #10898 to that list. Taking care of all these is probably something we should tackle for 6.5?

Can we solve most of the easily?

[ncoden]

I think there's nothing _difficult_ here, but it will take a long time to resolve. We need to go over all components, re-enable a full "reflow" support for all options and everything relying on them. This includes templates, events...

[kjgenevieve]

Is there an update on this or a workaround until it's fixed?

[DanielRuf]

So far no updates and I'm not aware of better workarounds then reinitializing, destroying and refreshing Foundation components.
