Description
My idea is to add a `resolve` key to the fields, so that when a value is not provided for that field the resolve function will fire, which then creates a default value for the field instead.
So for example I might have the following:
```
fields: {
title: {
type: 'string',
description: 'The title of the post',
required: true,
},
url: {
type: 'string',
description: 'The URL of the post',
required: false,
resolve: (doc: any) => `/${doc._raw.flattenedPath}`,
},
...
```
With this I can provide a URL value in the frontmatter of the markdown file if I am interested in providing a very specific URL for something, but otherwise it will generate the field automatically.
