Custom Formatter

[aymenha]

Is there a way to load a file of type other than the ones supported by format?

I'm working on a custom widget and trying to load a .tsx file (to later serialize with TS api and consume as AST), but the issue is that I cannot find a proper formatter for such use case. I can use frontmatter and set the field name to body, but then when using a nested collection it starts complaining about a missing title (which makes sense, since the formatter is not the proper one).

I had the same issue when working with .json files, since the json formatter returns a field, not the full json content.

If it's not supported currently, does it make sense to add support for registering custom formats? or maybe introducing a new formatter that treats the file content as body and doesn't attempt to parse or serialize?

At current I am not planning on expanding the available file formats, and custom formats are not yet supported.

Adding the ability to provider a custom formatter would be doable. I'll keep this in the backlog for the future.
