Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

How can I determine whether cleint has been initialised? The issue is that when I establish a client and finish the process, it works, but when I shut that endpoint abruptly, then I re-initialized this client, then it enters in loading mode and request time out message appear. and How can I utilise the Status enum described in the WAWebJS class? It is exportable, but I can't seem to locate any usage examples for it.

Expected behavior

If Client has already been initialized, I don't want to initialize it again; else, I initialize it.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

1. create endpoint that initialized a client with specific id
2. triggered that endpoint and stop before it complete its full process
3. then again triggered this endpoint with same client id it will goes on loading and never returns

I have the same issue, I believe there should be a simple way to determine whether the client is already initialized.
