Global page decorations in V2

v2: Troubleshooting
2

Yes, my plan for this is to use Lua metatables. This already kind of works, just not for the page decoration use case :laughing: . It’s undocumented, but sharing here so you can try.

This is my test page:

```space-lua
local mt = {
  __index = function(self, attr)
    if attr == "pageDecoration" then
      return {
        prefix = "🎄 "
      }
    end
  end
}

index.defineTag {
  name = "tree",
  metatable = mt
}

```
#tree

Sup

${query[[from index.tag "tree" select {name=name, pageDecoration=_.pageDecoration}]]}

You’ll see that in the query result the pageDecoration attribute is dynamically injected. However, since all the uses of pageDecorations in the UI happen across plug boundaries, this ability of using metatables gets lost. I have to figure out how to work around that.

By the way, I also intend to add a schema attribute to that defineTag call with an (optional) JSON schema, which can then be used to bring back the v1 schema feature, which can validate frontmatter, be used for attribute completion etc.
