# JB2TrackHubConnection

Auto-generated config schema for the current JBrowse release — see the
[config guide](https://jbrowse.org/jb2-staging/docs/config_guide) for concepts. Provided by the
`data-management` plugin.
[View source](https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse-components/blob/main/plugins/data-management/src/JB2TrackHubConnection/configSchema.ts).

## Example usage

An entry in the config's `connections`, pointing at another JBrowse 2
`config.json`. Its tracks — and any assemblies it declares that the session
lacks — are added on connect, so one instance can publish a track set that
others subscribe to.

```js
{
  type: 'JB2TrackHubConnection',
  connectionId: 'jb2_hub_example',
  name: 'Shared JBrowse 2 tracks',
  assemblyNames: ['hg38'],
  configJsonLocation: { uri: 'https://example.com/jbrowse/config.json' },
}
```

_See the **Config slots** section below for all available configuration fields._

## Config slots

These slots are top-level fields of the connection's entry in `connections`.
Slot types (`fileLocation`, `frozen`, ...) are explained in the
[config slot types reference](https://jbrowse.org/jb2-staging/docs/config_guides/slot_types). Slots a base
configuration contributes are listed here too, so this table is the whole
surface.
