The Vercel hosting platform is built on ASGI - so I need a way to provide an `app` ASGI object for it to use rather than Datasette's normal pattern of starting up the server using the `datasette serve` command.
The plugin currently does that by generating an `index.py` file that looks like this:
```python
from datasette.app import Datasette
import json
metadata = dict()
try:
metadata = json.load(open(""metadata.json""))
except Exception:
pass
app = Datasette([], [""fixtures.db""], metadata=metadata).app()
```
But that means I have to replicate the different CLI options - `--plugins-dir` etc - and figure out how to pass them to the `Datasette()` constructor.
This would be a whole lot easier if I could use `app = Datasette(configure_directory=""."")` and provide a magically configured instance based on the presence of files in the specified directory.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",605110015,Option to automatically configure based on directory layout,
