'''
This plugin helps loading images for each section.
Images should be located at
    <static-folder>/<image-path>/<section-name>/<image-folder>

eg.
    static/image/section1/folder-for-my-image/
    static/image/section2/subsection/folder-for-another-image/
    ...

Each image folder should contain a file named `_metadata.json`
with the following information
    {
        "name": "<image-name>",
        "year": "<year>",
        "category": "<category-name>",
        "images": ["<main-image-name>", "<image-variant-1>", "<image-variant-2>", ...]
    }

Along with the image files which should be called
    <main-image-name>
    <image-variant-1>
    <image-variant-2>
    ...
