actors_from_ids plugin hook and datasette.actors_from_ids() method

[simonw]

Refs:

• Plugin hook: actors_from_ids() #2180

This plugin hook is feature complete - including documentation and tests.

I'm not going to land it in Datasette main until we've used it at least once though, which should happen promptly in development for Datasette Cloud.

I've implemented this hook once now in:

• https://github.com/datasette/datasette-remote-actors

And built and tested a debug tool for it in:

• https://github.com/datasette/datasette-debug-actors-from-ids

I'm now confident in the design of this plugin hook, I'm going to land it.
