I know I can add a catalog source in the settings.js file but I was wondering if it was possible to dynamically add a catalog ?
I would write a node/plugin to serve my private catalog and the ideal workflow would be the following:
- User adds node/plugin
- User edits the configuration node and sets the Gitlab API token
- Catalog is added
