Add generated_by attribute to page.file

[timvink]

This PR adds an attribute to generated files.

Currently, mkdocs-gen-files and mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin are incompatible.

Using this new attribute, this PR can add support: timvink/mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin#102

More details in timvink/mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin#101

Yeah I suppose the src_path attributes are untruthful coming from mkdocs-gen-files.
Perhaps un-setting the src_path would be the cooler solution, but it's also likely to break something else.
So, nice.

[timvink]

Can you give me a pointer on how to solve the style error?

mkdocs_gen_files/editor.py:48: error: "File" has no attribute "generated_by"  [attr-defined]

[timvink]

Fixed it.. after a bit of search I released it was a mypy error (I'm not familiar with hatch), # type: ignore fixed it.

[timvink]

This time it was black. I needed to upgrade also.

p.s. A small section on 'contributing' and how to run the hatch commands would be a nice addition :)

Hi @oprypin , any blockers to merging this PR? Seems ready to go :)

[pawamoy]

I'm interested in this as well (would like to to use mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin 😉). Let me know if I can be of any help!

[oprypin]

Thanks

[oprypin]

And released. Sorry for the huge delay.

Sorry for necroposting, but could we add generated_by to MkDocs' File class? That would allow for better plugin inter-op. Currently, it's added as an anonymous attribute and you can't be sure that it's there. One improvement might be to add the plugin instance to generated_by, so other plugins might even be able to access public state in plugins.
