Setup

Install via the bundled Plugin Manager or manually using this URL:

https://github.com/OllisGit/OctoPrint-SpoolManager/releases/latest/download/master.zip

After installation, you can listen on three release channels (since 1.6.0). What does this mean: Each channel has its own release-version and each release has a different kind of functionality and stability.

• "Only Release": Only stable and tested versions will be shown in the software-update section of OctoPrint
• "Release & Candidate": Beside the stable release, you can also see the "release-candidates", like '''1.7.0rc3'''. The rc's includde new functionalty/bugfixes and are already tested by the community.. so by YOU ;-)
• "Release & Candidate & under Development": Beside stable and rc, you will be informed about development versions. A development version like '''1.8.0.dev5``` could include a new (experimental) feature/bugfixs, but it is not fully tested by the community

Changing between each release is done via the "Software Update section" in the settings.

Hint: "Easy-switching" is possible with OctoPrint-Version 1.8.0 (see https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint/issues/4238). At the meantime you need to uninstall and install the version you like from the selected channel...or stay in one channel ;-)

Events

Plugin sends the following custom events to the eventbus like this:

eventManager().fire(eventKey, eventPayload)

HINT: In combination with the MQTT Plugin you can subscribe e.g. to this topic:

octoPrint/event/plugin_spoolmanager_spool_deselected

Payload

_spooladded, _spoolselected

 {
   'databaseId': 23,
   'toolId': 1,
   'spoolName':'Fancy Spool',
   'material':'ABS',
   'colorName':'dark red',
   'remainingWeight': 1234
 }

_spooldeselected

 {
   'toolId': 1
 }

_spooldeleted

 {
   'databaseId': 23
 }

Other Plugins could listen to this events in there python-code like this:

eventmanager.subscribe("plugin_spoolmanager_spool_selected", self._myEventListener)

or use octoprint.plugin.EventHandlerPlugin with something like this:

def on_event(self, event, payload):
    if event == "plugin_spoolmanager_spool_selected":
        ## do something usefull
