In order to improve the usability of my page system, I would like to be able to use a custom piece of information in the config file to define pages and positions for the Modules.

{
    "module": "clock",
    "position": "top_right",
    "pages": {"pageName": "position"},
    "config": {}
}

However, it seems just using getModules.enumerate() doesn’t supply that new pages object.
As a workaround, I noticed that the config for each module is given and so the page’s object could be stored inside that. However, for less confusing use, I would rather have it outside.
The other option I would explore is simply importing the config into my node_helper and then parsing the config manually, but before I went ahead with the plan I wanted to see if there is some reason to refrain from that.

Is there a correct way to do this? Is it correct to do this at all?

I did it manually using references the modules and containers. It worked a lot better than I assumed it would as well since references to the modules seem to stay intact so hiding them still works. I will post the full module when I’m done if in case anybody wants to see how I hacked it together.

P.S. If there is a more official way, I would still like to know what it is.

I’m writing a module to help with scene changes and the main issue I’m having is that I can’t find a way to change the positions of modules after the mirror is loaded. Looking through the page, I was thinking that it would be possible to get a reference to the html element and shift its position manually, but I wanted to see if there was a proper way to do it before trying out that method.
