[RFC] React Static Datastore #1199
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
the existing plugin system is great. we want another level of extensibility. although plugins can recursively install and utilize other plugins (i didn't know this until i talked to Tanner!), we still can't feed data from a plugin to another plugin, or a data from a plugin to static.config.js. this also unlocks other functionality like:
- image processing
- data sources
- importers
- themes
yes, this looks a lot like growing some of the capabilities of RS to do what Gatsby can do, but hopefully it retains the core elements of what we love about RS.
Describe the solution you'd like
up to Tanner but basically he thinks it looks like a simple datastore inside /.artifacts, possibly as simple as a simple json object, but potentially more complicated (document store? relational store?)
Additional context
not actually my idea, it just came up as I was discussing pain points with Tanner and he mentioned that this would be required to take RS to the next level.
