Unable to modify context with a plugin about hyde

[navilan]

Hi,

Thanks for the issue and the pull request.

By default all hyde resources get three variables (site, node and resource) along with the context configured in the site.yaml and providers. I was hoping that these were sufficient for stateful modification of the context.

For example, if a plugin needs to inject variables specific to the resource(file), it could insert it into the resource variable directly or to the resource.meta namespace - this can happen in the begin_text_resource and/or begin_binary_resource events. If it were node(folder), it could insert it into the node variable directly or node.meta if it needs to be inherited by the contained resources and the site variable if else.

Of course, directly modifying the context can be done with an additional event like you have proposed - but given the above explanation, do you still think its valuable?

Marking this as by design. Will reopen if there is a valid requirement.
