Renamed GcodeFileViewModel to FileViewModel

(Let's be realistic here)

Introduced new "additionalNames" property on viewmodel declaration
to allow for registering alternative lookup names for a view model.

The freshly renamed FileViewModel now resolves as both "filesViewModel"
 and "gcodeFilesViewModel", making the renaming backwards compatible

 Documented all that stuff (and some more)

Registering custom viewmodels
-----------------------------
Register your viewmodel with OctoPrint's web app by pushing a 3-tuple consisting of your viewmodel's class, a list
of all required dependencies to be injected into the constructor and a list of all elements to bind the viewmodel to.
Register your view model with OctoPrint's web app by pushing a config object unto the global array ``OCTOPRINT_VIEWMODELS``.
Possible properties in this config object are:
construct
Function to use for constructing the view model instance. Usually that will be the view model class, which acts as
a constructor. This property is mandatory.
name
Name to register the view model under. If not provided, the name of the ``construct`` function will
be used, turning the first letter lower case. If a view model under the same name already exists at time
of construction, an error will be logged and the view model will not be instantiated.
additionalNames
A list of additional names to also register the view model under. Only those that do not already exist will be
registered.
dependencies
List of dependencies the view model needs injected. If any of the view models in this list cannot be found,
initialization of the view model will fail. The parameters injected on instantiation will consist of first
the ``dependencies``, then the ``optional`` list concatenated.
optional
A list of optional dependencies the view model needs injected. If any of the view models in this list cannot be found,
they will be ``null`` in the parameter list injected to the constructor on instantiation. The parameters injected on
instantiation will consist of first the ``dependencies``, then the ``optional`` list concatenated.
elements
A list of UI elements to bind to. Each binding target can be either a string which will then be passed to jQuery's
``$(...)`` method to resolve the target, or alternatively directly a jQuery element
Example:
.. code-block:: javascript
:emphasize-lines: 12-22
$(function() {
function MyCustomViewModel(parameters) {
var self = this;
self.loginState = parameters[0]; // requested as first dependency below
self.settings = parameters[1]; // requested as second dependency below
self.someOtherViewModel = parameters[2]; // requested as first optional dependency below
// more of your view model's implementation
}
// we don't explicitely declare a name property here
// our view model will be registered under "myCustomViewModel" (implicit
// name derived from contructor name) and "yourCustomViewModel" (explicitely
// provided as additional name)
OCTOPRINT_VIEWMODELS.push({
construct: MyCustomViewModel,
additionalNames: ["yourCustomViewModel"],
dependencies: ["loginStateViewModel", "settingsViewModel"],
optional: ["someOtherViewModel"],
elements: ["#some_div", "#some_other_div"]
});
})
You might also come across a different approach to view model declaration, providing not a config object but instead
a 3-tuple of constructor, dependencies and elements to bind to. Additional names, different names than the default name
and optional dependencies cannot be specified with this format. It should be considered deprecated. Still, an example
of how that would look in practice is provided here as well:
.. code-block:: javascript
:caption: Old tuple-based configuration format, consider this deprecated
:emphasize-lines: 11-16
$(function() {
function MyCustomViewModel(parameters) {
var self = this;
self.loginState = parameters[0]; // requested as first constructor parameter below
self.settingsViewModel = parameters[1] // requested as second constructor parameter below
// more of your viewmodel's implementation
// more of your view model's implementation
}
// construct, dependencies, elements
OCTOPRINT_VIEWMODELS.push([
MyCustomViewModel,
["loginStateViewModel"],
["loginStateViewModel", "settingsViewModel"],
["#some_div", "#some_other_div"]
]);
})
.. note::
Each provided binding target may be either a string which will then be passed to jQuery's ``$(...)`` method to resolve
the target, or alternatively directly a jQuery element.

OctoPrint will try to inject all view model dependencies requested by your view model. In order to do this it will
perform multiple passes iterating over all registered view models and collecting the necessary dependencies prior to

error to be logged to the JavaScript console.

onStartupComplete()

@ -161,60 +220,64 @@ onUserLoggedIn(user)
onUserLoggedOut()
Called when a user gets logged out of the web app.
onTabChange(current, previous)
onTabChange(next, current)
Called before the main tab view switches to a new tab, so `before` the new tab becomes visible. Called with the
current and previous tab's hash (e.g. ``#control``).
next (changed to) and current (still visible) tab's hash (e.g. ``#control``). Note that ``current`` might be undefined
on the very first call.
onAfterTabChange
onAfterTabChange(current, previous)
Called after the main tab view switches to a new tab, so `after` the new tab becomes visible. Called with the
current and previous tab's hash (e.g. ``#control``).
getAdditionalControls
Your viewmodel may return additional custom control definitions for inclusion on the "Control" tab of OctoPrint's
getAdditionalControls()
Your view model may return additional custom control definitions for inclusion on the "Control" tab of OctoPrint's
interface. See :ref:`the custom control feature<sec-features-custom_controls>`.
onSettingsShown
onSettingsShown()
Called when the settings dialog is shown.
onSettingsHidden
onSettingsHidden()
Called when the settings dialog is hidden.
onSettingsBeforeSave
Called just before the settings viewmodel is sent to the server. This is useful, for example, if your plugin
needs to compute persisted settings from a custom viewmodel.

onUserSettingsShown
onUserSettingsShown()
Called when the user settings dialog is shown.
onUserSettingsHidden
onUserSettingsHidden()
Called when the user settings dialog is hidden.
onWizardDetails
onWizardDetails(response)
Called with the response from the wizard detail API call initiated before opening the wizard dialog. Will contain
the data from all :class:`~octoprint.plugin.WizardPlugin` implementations returned by their :meth:`~octoprint.plugin.WizardPlugin.get_wizard_details`
method, mapped by the plugin identifier.
onWizardTabChange
Called before the wizard tab/step is changed, with the ids of the current and the next tab as parameters. Return false
in order to prevent the tab change, e.g. if the wizard step is mandatory and not yet completed by the user. Take a look at
the "Core Wizard" plugin bundled with OctoPrint and the ACL wizard step in particular for an example on how to use this.
onBeforeWizardTabChange(next, current)
Called before the wizard tab/step is changed, with the ids of the next (changed to) and the current (still visible) tab
as parameters. Return false in order to prevent the tab change, e.g. if the wizard step is mandatory and not yet
completed by the user. Take a look at the "Core Wizard" plugin bundled with OctoPrint and the ACL wizard step in

onAfterWizardTabChange
Called after the wizard tab/step is changed, with the id of the current tab as parameter.
onAfterWizardTabChange(current)
Called after the wizard tab/step is changed, with the id of the current tab as parameter. The id of the previous
tab is sadly not available currently.
onBeforeWizardFinish
onBeforeWizardFinish()
Called before executing the finishing of the wizard. Return false here to stop the actual finish, e.g. if some step is
still incomplete.
onWizardFinish
onWizardFinish()
Called after executing the finishing of the wizard and before closing the dialog. Return ``reload`` here in order to
instruct OctoPrint to reload the UI after the wizard closes.
