316323336 MDU6SXNzdWUzMTYzMjMzMzY= 231 metadata.json support for plugin configuration options 9599 closed 0     4 2018-04-20T15:58:47Z 2019-05-13T18:56:21Z 2019-05-13T18:56:21Z OWNER  

My datasette-cluster-map plugin currently works by detecting latitude and longitude columns. I'd like to be able to configure it to look for different column names.

One way to do this could be to support optional plugin configuration as part of metadata.json. Something like this:

{
    "title": "Polar Bear Ear Tags, 2009-2011",
    "source": "USGS Alaska Science Center, Polar Bear Research Program",
    "source_url": "https://alaska.usgs.gov/products/data.php?dataid=130",
    "plugins": {
        "datasette_cluster_map": {
            "latitude_columns": [
                "latitude",
                "Capture Latitude"
            ],
            "longitude_columns": [
                "longitude",
                "Capture Longitude"
            ]
        }
    }
}

These settings should be supported at the root level or at the individual database or table level.

They could also be exposed in the https://datasette-cluster-map-demo.now.sh/-/plugins debug tool.
