Allow multiple instances of the JS client We now have a global OctoPrintClient, which is the class from which all clients are derived, and a global OctoPrint, which is a single instance already setup and ready to use in case we only need one. It would be cleaner to have clients create that singular instance themselves, but we need to maintain backward compatibility for now with how we established the client to work with the 1.3.0 release. New clients can be create with client = new OctoPrintClient({ /* options */ }); Alternatively the options can be left out and set at a later point: client = new OctoPrintClient(); /* ... */ client.options = { /* options */ }; Individual client components register themselves with OctoPrintClient via OctoPrintClient.registerComponent(name, component) from the component JS files. Just like before their instances are then available in the individual client instances under "<client>.<name>", e.g. "OctoPrint.files". Plugin components register themselves with OctoPrintClient via OctoPrintClient.registerPluginComponent(name, component) from the component JS files. Just like before their instances are then available in the individual client instances under "<client>.plugins .<name>", e.g. "OctoPrint.plugins.softwareupdate". This should make it possible to create dashboard pages utilizing the JS client that monitor the status of multiple OctoPrint instances, without workarounds such as having to swap out the options globally before each request. See #1681 for the corresponding discussion.
