Why not allow specific config on per test basis?

[emahuni]

I am new to this plugin, just wondering why not allow tests to set their own patterns and config? I frequently find myself going back to the config to adjust config just for certain tests, of which I don't want adjusting for globally.

ie:

const autoRecord = require('cypress-autorecord'); // Require the autorecord function
  
describe('Test Articles Page', function() { // Do not use arrow functions
 autorecord( {
    interceptPattern: "**/api/v1/items/articles/**",
    // forceRecord: true,
    // cleanMocks: true,
  });
  
  // Your hooks (beforeEach, afterEach, etc) goes here
  
  it('...', function() { // Do not use arrow functions
    // Your test goes here
  });
});

This:

• makes it clearer what's going on in that particular test
• allows config to be specific to the test case only
• allows one to forceRecord / clear mocks on demand for specific test
• makes everything easier to maintain by separating actual plugin config from tests (I don't want to change configuration only to revert it back because I am working on a particular test I need to recapture data for)

and yes, I have not looked into the source to determine the possibility of this, however, I believe this is a more clearer and more efficient manner to do this.
