Setting the id for a catalog seems really hard

[alexgleith]

I have a simple StacAPI custom app.py going, but I can't find an easy way to customise the LandingPage id.

Here's what I have so far:

api = StacApi(
    title="Digital Earth Pacific STAC API",
    description="A SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) API for Digital Earth Pacific",
    extensions=[ContextExtension()],
    settings=settings,
    client=CoreCrudClient(post_request_model=post_request_model),
    search_get_request_model=get_request_model,
    response_class=ORJSONResponse,
)

The PC folks have a huge amount of code customising the client, I think, here: https://github.com/microsoft/planetary-computer-apis/blob/b0471ea9f5e84268294b48bc22432dba93907331/pcstac/pcstac/client.py#L301 and that's where they set it.

Surely it's something everyone wants to change though, so shouldn't it be easier to set?

The CoreCrudClient has a landing_page_id attribute from the LandingPageMixin, so

CoreCrudClient(post_request_model=post_request_model, landing_page_id="my-custom-id")

should get you what you want?

Oh wow, so easy. I did look at that, but must have missed it from the mixin...

Thanks @gadomski! Hope you're well!
