Why is it not allowed to call .start multiple times?

[mattijsf]

In the current README we have the following description of the .start method:

start(options)

Init the module. Returns a Promise object. Don't call this multiple times.

Note

• Remember to use the start method before anything.

Question

We are currently using this library in an application that has multiple entry points where bluetooth is required. These entry points are not always hit by a user and therefore it does not feel appropriate to invoke BleManager.start(..) at the very beginning of the lifecycle of the app. Ideally we would only initiate the module upon the actual need of Bluetooth. So in order to do this and adhere to the above notes we do the following:

ble-manager-utils.ts:

let started = false
async function startBleManagerIfNeeded(): Promise<void> {
  if (started) return
  started = true
  return BleManager.start({ showAlert: false })
}

Is there any particular reason / use-case why this logic cannot be abstracted away in the library itself? It feels like an unnecessary administration.
