06/01/2023, 5:18 PMIs it possible to add our own preprocessor? I’d like to inject some additional global components and see how you’re doing it with the preprocessor but can’t identify if thats feasible

@acoustic-angle-84817 I've done this in our marketing site, but it felt a bit hacky.
If you can wait just a couple of days for it, our components plugins functionality will be released:
• https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence/pull/878
• https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence/issues/918
Which may make your life easier

The docs are actually slightly ahead of the most recent release, so you can see how this will work already https://docs.evidence.dev/plugins/ 😅
